Review: Fujifilm XF 50-140mm f2.8 | The Phoblographer

The Fujifilm XF 50-140mm f2.8 is Fujifilm’s first serious entry in the telephoto zoom arena. Fast aperture primes have been Fujifilm’s bread and butter up until this point, and the XF55-200mm f3.5-4.8 was just a toe in the water. The 55-200mm was a swell lens to work with, but it left us wanting more, namely a fixed aperture. Now, we have it, and with the crop factor, it’s comparable to the standard 70-200mm f2.8 across the major manufacturers, without the white body. The 50-140mm f2.8 has every design aspect that has distinguished Fujifilm’s X-series from the competition, and it’s the first real sign of Fujifilm’s commitment to broadening its reach, to making it a well-rounded system. It’s a major boon for folks looking to do sports photography who might’ve felt left out by the lack of telephoto zoom options where a constant aperture is a must. It’s also a major plus for portraitists who want a little variety in their focal lengths. And hey, it’s weather-sealed, too, which means that there should be no excuses for your not shooting in rain, sleet or snow….
