It’s just a boring Fujinon Glass… so get ready once again for the usual a long list of Pros and a very short Cons list also in the latest Admiringlight review. From the conclusions:

“Fuji keeps cranking out great lenses, and the 16mm f/1.4 is one of their finest. It brings the sharpness and low distortion of the 14mm f/2.8 and combines it with the great wide aperture performance of the 56mm f/1.2, while keeping almost all lens aberrations at a minimum. The lens is simply optically stellar. The only shooters who should pause a bit are those who are looking to use this lens for astrophotography, as it does show some notable coma. However, for almost all other shooting scenarios, it’s really hard to improve on this lens.”

FXF Member Toon triggered off a hot discussion at the new FXF – 56mm(APD) or 90mm for potraits?

_ _ _

Is the XF 90mmF2 WR Fuji’s Best Lens in terms of IQ? I had this impression reading the review and especially looking at the tons of samples in Rico’s XF 90mmF2 WR First Look.

Now also jonasraskphotography confirms that it is the best XF lens in terms of IQ. And the inevitable question now is: XF 56mm (APD) or XF 90mm for portraits? A hot debate aroused on the FXF.

Here is an excerpt of what Jonas Rask thinks about it in his First Look:

“The XF 90mm f/2 is the highest performing lens I have ever mounted onto my X-series cameras. It beats all previous XF series lenses in just about every image quality aspect. It’s the royal deluxe model of a portrait lens, and if you are a portrait or fashion photographer using the Fujifilm X-series you cannot pass this lens up. For the system it is quite large, but it is what it is. I’m not even a portrait photographer, but I definitely will add this lens to my arsenal. It really is an amazing lens!
