Fujifilm Fujinon XF 50-140mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR Review

The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 50-140mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR is a pro-grade telezoom lens for mirrorless cameras with excellent optics and a tough, weather-resistant build. The 70-200mm full-frame zoom has long been the go-to choice for event photographers and serious enthusiasts. Fuji's mirrorless system is built around the APS-C sensor size, so its Fujinon XF 50-140mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR ($1,599.95) is the equivalent. It's a strong performer, delivering crisp images throughout its zoom range and a solid, weather-resistant build that will pair perfectly with an X-T2 or X-Pro2. Exceptional performance merits our Editors' Choice award, but keep in mind that the lens is priced accordingly. If you can live with a narrower aperture and don't need protection from weather, the Fujinon XF 55-200mm F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS is a fine budget-minded alternative. Design The XF 50-140mm ($1,599.00 at Amazon) is certainly smaller than its counterparts in the full-frame SLR world. It measures 6.9 by 3.3 inches (HD) and weighs 2.2 pounds. Compare that with Canon's beefy EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM ($2,199.00 at Amazon) —it tips the scales at 3.3 pounds and measures 7.8 by 3.5 i...

Handling and Features Performance Verdict Specification This 2.8x telephoto zoom lens for Fujifilm X-series interchangeable lens cameras provides a field of view equivalent to a 75-210mm lens on a 35mm camera, and sports a fast constant f/2.8 maximum aperture, optical stabilisation and costs around...

Sturdy, well built

Exceptional. Have used on a few jobs now, and has never let me down. Sturdy, well built, smooth. Gorgeous photos, beautiful skin tones, great DOF bokeh, superb autofocus. Is very big on my X-E2, but doesn't bother me particularly. X-T1 will be better for it when it arrives!

I sold my Canon 7d & 70-100 f2.8 II to purchase the Fujifilm X-T1 & this 50-140 f2.8. This 50-140 has amazing clarity. The image stabilization works flawlessly. I can't say if the focus speed is as fast as the Canon because I am still learning the X-T1 settings, but it certainly does a good job so...

A 25% better resolution 70-200mmF2.8 with a bit less Bokeh

Great for indoor and outdoor activities and portraits. Superb on near wildlife shots (wish Fuji would offer a 400mm with these capabilities someday).

Super happy with this lens and 6th Ave was quick to ship as always

Very Versatile Range

Excellent versatile range, the collar is a bit flimsy and moves and slips and seems to need constant tightening But a good all round lens, with great weather sealing

Excellent lens, replacing my FF now.

This lens, as many have already noted is excellent. I stumbled across fuji about a year ago, when i got the xt10 for a trip. It came with the 18-55 zoom. I have a FF setup, pentax k1 with a number of primes and zooms including the Tamron 70-200 2.8.

Handles nicely, but its big

This has the feel of a professional level lens. Its well put together, everything falls to hand nicely and the image quality is excellent. It is, however, quite large - in fact bigger and heavier than Canons 70-200 f4, for which this is close comparator in terms of what it does.
