Cons: None

Pros: Very sharp lens, amazing portraits, good for landscapes.

Summary: Professional lens.

Cons: Low contrast with close focus. Quite disappointing, with Raynox almost unusable but even without it still quite low contrast in comparison with 35/1.4 or 23/1.4 WR.

Pros: With exception of the above mentioned problem works well.

Summary: Good lens with stellar reviews but less stellar performance.

Cons: Rather big for the smaller Fujifilm bodies. It makes my xt30 look and feel like a toy camera.

Pros: Extremely sharp at all useful apertures, professional build quality, natural colour rendering.

Summary: Superb lens.

Cons: No

Pros: Very sharp lens, nice colours, water resist.

Summary: Very expensive, but I like professional quality.

Cons: A bit of flair when shooting against the sun.

Pros: Optical and build quality.

Summary: Expensive but great lens.

Cons: It is very expensive and I can not afford it.

Pros: Very good quality, photographs look so professional. A friend gave it to me for a month.

Summary: The best lens I have used from the Fujifilm system.

Cons: Prone to flare.

Pros: Sharpness, build quality, bokeh.

Summary: Great lens

Cons: None really.

Pros: Optics, precise focusing, smooth and creamy bokeh, weather resistant.

Summary: Professional quality lens.

Cons: Rather heavy.

Pros: Optics, build quality, bokeh, weather resistant.

Summary: Fuji\'s greatest portrait lens.

Cons: None

Pros: Sharpness is amazing, professional build quality, colour reminds me of old film days, autofocus is fast.

Summary: A great professional lens.

Cons: None

Pros: Super sharp at all apertures and across the frame even when stopped down at f2. The build quality is of professional grade, whereas the bokeh and subject isolation are simply wonderful. Colours have a unique film-like rendering and the resultant images are so well defined and clear.

Summary: My preferred lens for portraits, sports and even landscapes. If I were to keep only one Fuji lens, that would be the one!

Cons: None at all, however because the lens does not have OIS, one should keep shutter speeds above 1/250s in order to enjoy its amazing qualities.

Pros: Razor sharp across the frame at all apertures, no vignetting, no distortion, fast f2 aperture, excellent build quality

Summary: Probably Fuji\'s best lens!

Cons: - Huge and heavy - Ridiculously big lens hood - WR not as effective as on other lenses - Circular bokeh only wide open - Rattles when powered off - No OIS

Pros: - Excellent sharpness - Overall very nice bokeh - Quick focusing - Focuses down to 60cm

Summary: This lens has excellent image quality with great sharpness from wide open and one of the best bokeh\'s among Fuji lineup. Only downside is that with 7 aperture blades, you see the aperture shape on highlights from f/2,8... Sounds a bit annoying for a portrait lens. Good news is you won\'t need to stop down except to increase DOF, the lens is already very sharp at f/2. Autofocus is quick and snappy. Close focus is nice to have from my point of view. Mechanically, I\'m less convinced. 90mm f/2 lens is huge and feels well build but weather resistance seems not as effective than on smaller lenses. There is a bit of dust accumulating inside mine after a few months of light use. It has no stabilisation so you need to be careful about your shutter speed. Finally you can feel and hear something gliding inside the barrel when the lens is powered off... Strange but normal.

Cons: No manual focus clutch (which the 16/1.4 and other lenses have, and would be lovely on this lens). Somewhat susceptible to flare. Very large, cheapish lens hood. Not compact. No OIS. Well constructed.

Pros: Sharp. High contrast. Great out of focus rendering. Few aberrations. Fast autofocus. Manageable size. Useful focal length for candid portraits and landscape.

Summary: One of my favorite Fujifilm lenses. Not cheap, but excellent.

Summary: I have to say, Szymon Starczewski is obviously extremely biased against FUJI to the point where these reviews are more about him trying to find faults that he can harp on than actually being objective here. On this lens, Szymon places the Sigma 85 mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM as the superior lens for the price range. Except his review of the Sigma shows that the fuiji either meets or exceeds all categories, save shooting directly at the sun. That the Sigma's MFT provided significantly lower results seems to be ignored; the Sigma, because it isn't Fuji, is better. Now, he can nitpick about how the MFT readings will be "higher" without the CFA. But that assumes he doesn't calibrate the test to the sensor. I mean, without doing that the entire test is suspect and it basically won't return any valid data... But the point to keep in mind is that all of these reviews seem to end with him complaining not about the lens, but about how he can buy cheap plastic lens for cheaper and how all the other systems have lots of cheap plastic lenses and that fuji should have cheap plastic lenses. His biggest complaint is not about the quality, he handwaves quality a bit saying it is worse than some other lens (that is actually worse than the fuji), but the overall cost. Personally, while I can call myself a bit of a fanboy, what really drove me to write this was how absurd his claim the Sigma was the better lens for the price was. If that is the BEST lens you can pull up, then using a lenshood and buying the BETTER lens for the cost is fine with me.
