Things I See …

Making pictures is for me about learning to see what is going on around you an catching a fleeting moment, anticipating what may happen next, and being ready. If you are messing around with your camera then you will miss the moment.

I own this lens and it is a fantastic lens to shoot with. Its no lightweight but knowhere near my old Canon 70-200 f2.8 IS. Well built and solid. I find that it fits better on my XT2 or XT3 and rarely use it on my X Pro’s.

May certainly be worth a look at the price. 85mm is one of my favorite focal lengths. This gives 127.5mm with the APSc crop factor.

  • The lens is very well crafted. Its all metal ,feels better in the hand than the native Fuji primes. It actually feels better built than most lenses.
  • The auto focus is fast with the latest firmware, on par with many native lenses.
  • The image quality on this lens is surprisingly good and it’s an all around solid performer , this lens offers excellent center and edge to edge sharpness and superb resolving power.
  • Right out of camera, the neutral quality of this lens gives skin a subtle sheen, making it and excellent choice for portraiture as well as black and white photography.
  • The textured metal focus ring provides an exceptionally smooth experience and the 145.9° throw allows for precise focusing, even at closer distances where subtle nuances would be more noticeable.
