Yes sir…The XF90 f/2 is my sharpest lens as well! (And that includes the dozens of lenses I’ve used in the last 35 years!) Not to mention a super fast AF lens!
Regarding size – is it really bigger than the 56mm? The 56 might be an option for me. Or the 50mm f2… so many good things to choose from…
Stephan,
The awesome XF90 f/2 is 4.5″ long, without the lens hood (the hood adds another 2.5″). and IMHO, is not too large, and balances nicely with either an XT-1/2 or X-Pro 2. Besides, the extreme benefits of stellar sharpness, speedy AF, and overal superb image rendering, make it worth it, IMHO. Good luck!
This is by far my most favored lens of all time…incredible sharpness, incredible bokeh…a little noisy which was at first somewhat disconcerting…awesome photos by the way. If I could only have ONE lens, this would be it.
Wow, you are a brave photographer. DOn’t think I can live with XF90 alone. Have a lovely weekend!
…ps…and the bag?
Yes, Ivan, I agree…though this XF90 is my absolute sharpest lens, really all of the Fujinon XF lenses are sharp (at least all those I’ve used, including the 23 f/2, 35 f/2, 60 Macro, and even the 16-55 and 55-200 zooms!). And since the 90 is so incredibly sharp, I find that I use it more than the 60 for product shots! Though for web display, one may be hard pressed to discern a difference. It’s really only at 100% magnification in post, as well as in large poster prints, where one can truly see the difference! But frankly, in my 35+ years of photography, I’ve never used such a consistently high-quality lens system as the Fujinon XF-System! And special note goes to the XF16-55 f/2.8 Zoom…It’s truly my “bread-and-butter” lens, because it’s incredibly sharp, fast AF, and weather resistant as well! In fact, I’ve used it for some product images, and I cannot tell a difference in overall image quality to the same focal length equivalent prime! And IMHO, it’s noticeably sharper than the good “kit” 18-55! Thank you.
…and the black bag?
Its actually a bicycle bag for my Brompton Bike.
This focal length is tough to work with, but also very rewarding. Nice bag!
Thanks….. and its really rewarding indeed.
