To the Beach
Small path from our rental to the beach in Kailua. I wonder when will we have a chance to travel freely again. Miss the freedom!
The Fujinon XF 90mm f/2 R LM WR is a prime lens that has won over portrait and event photographers for its superb sharpness, creamy bokeh, and impressive low-light capabilities. This review delves into why this lens is a top choice for Fuji X-series users looking to capture stunning, lifelike images with beautiful background separation.
With a 90mm focal length (equivalent to 135mm on full-frame), this lens is ideal for portraits, offering flattering compression and reach that help subjects stand out with incredible clarity. The fast f/2 aperture allows for gorgeous background blur and smooth, rounded bokeh, making subjects pop naturally in both studio and outdoor settings. Built to Fujifilm’s high standards, the lens is weather-sealed and durable, so it can handle a range of environments without worry.
Optically, the XF 90mm f/2 is exceptional, featuring three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements that control chromatic aberrations and ensure color fidelity and sharpness from center to corner. Even wide open, this lens delivers crisp details and vibrant colors, allowing photographers to capture every nuance of their subject.
This lens also features Fujifilm’s Quad Linear Motor, providing fast, accurate, and quiet autofocus. This quick focusing makes it a solid choice not only for portraits but also for street and event photography, where silent and responsive autofocus is a must. Weighing in at a manageable 540g, the XF 90mm f/2 is easy to carry for extended shoots and balances well on Fuji X-series bodies.
While the lens lacks image stabilization, its bright f/2 aperture and sharp optics make it a powerful tool for low-light and indoor shooting, giving photographers confidence to capture clear, beautiful images in various lighting conditions.
If you’re searching for a high-quality telephoto prime with standout sharpness and bokeh, the Fujinon XF 90mm f/2 R LM WR is an excellent choice for Fuji users who want professional-grade portraits and detail-rich close-ups.

Selective focus with narrow depth of field at my favourite Hanami spot in Tokyo.
Been pretty busy during the past months. Now that things are settled (5G completed, new house, new school for the little one…) I have a bit of free time and can post again :) It’s been a weird season for the cherry blossoms this year. It suddenly got super cold and the blooming is very…
Few pictures form Hong Kong on my way to Sanya with the X-H1. Twice the camera froze and I had to remove the battery to reboot it. Was it the heat and humidity… Japanese summer will tell!
Bringing the 90mm/f2 for a spin during lunch around the Tokyo Daijingu shrine.
A few random shots of this year’s Cherry Blossoms around Iidabashi, my home.
Back from Disneyland? Most probably…
Gastro… as in gastroenteritis ?!
Interesting Soba sign in Takadanobaba at night.
Various people waiting for a train in Tokyo (Shinjuku and Akihabara). Why I am shooting those? Apparently, there is a demand on Shutterstock!
Has been raining non-stop for a few days now in Tokyo.
The 56mm/f1.2 APD is now always on my X-T2. Station Agent is also the first movie I saw with Peter Dinklage, years before Games of Thrones: IMDB.
