Extremely sharp, even though a little heavy

I’d like to get a couple of things out of the way: First, as I’ve mentioned in other reviews I ran camera stores and a national photo catalog for years. Second, I’ve sold hundreds of 70-200s and borrowed them dozens of times but never owned one long term, I could always use a loaner. In short I have a lot of experience with lenses in general including fast tele-zooms.
Thumbnail review of the Fuji 50-140mm f2.8 – If you need it, buy it, it is really as good as everyone says it is. Pleasing and solid build, I have no concern it will require more than normal care in handling. Functionally the zoom and focus rings are as smooth in operation as any top end lens I’ve handled. Internal focus and internal zoom seems to be hard to find anymore, but having both makes it very easy to use filter holders and grad filters. The short arc to zoom makes composition a breeze. The IS is nothing short of outstanding, I can handhold the 50-140 and get fewer blurred images than with the 55-200. And finally images taken with this lens are some of the sharpest I’ve seen.
Oh, and the foot on the rotating collar isn’t Arca Swiss compatible but you can swap it out for a foot that is for about $40 from 3rd party vendors.

As a photographer I shoot across a range of styles, from street to tabletop and landscape. What I do not shoot are portraits, sports, or video. I did all three ages ago and found that I had no desire to continue. What drives me to acquire camera equipment is need with also a little bit of desire, I need certain focal lengths but I want the equipment that’s the best fit for me. I’m 7 years past my switch from Canon to Fuji and I’m still very happy with my pictures so I think the verdict is in for me, I’m not feeling any motivation to use another brand or platform.
Two years ago I needed a longer lens to punch in on my landscapes and to make panoramic images of deep scenes. I purchased the 55-200 because that’s what I felt I could afford. The lens is very sharp, compact, and fast focusing – the 55-200 is a great lens. But. Because the barrel extends on the 55-200 while zooming, and there is no way to lock it down, each time I adjusted filters setting up a shot the zoom would creep in or out changing composition and focus (the lens isn’t constant focus throughout the zoom range). The 55-200 is a great lens, just not for what I want to shoot.
The 50-140 was my second choice, but only because of price. As mentioned above the quality of the lens and its images are fantastic, but it’s the internal focus and zoom that have been game changers for me. I no longer have zoom and focus creep when adjusting filters and my landscapes are much better for it.
Soapbox moment: The 50-140 gives approximately the same magnification through the viewfinder as a 70-200 on a FF camera. The rest of that statement is: f2.8 is f 2.8 and doesn’t change based on sensor size. Please stop multiplying apertures to find an equivalent. Applying ‘crop factor’ to aperture only helps describe the out of focus background in specific situations, it has nothing to do with light gathering. So, f2.8 is f2.8. This lens gathers as much light allowing similar shutter speeds in a given lighting situation as a FF 70-200 f2.8.
Also, I suggest not worrying too much about equivalency between two different sensor formats. Honestly, nobody in film days ever spent this much time rationalizing magnification and bokeh differences between 35mm (FF) and medium format. We just shot our cameras. The same applies here, how often do you look at a scene and say to yourself “I think a 73mm focal length would be perfect”? You just don’t do that when you’re shooting a zoom, you view the scene through the eyepiece or back panel and compose your image. You just shoot your camera. In that moment is anyone really doing the math to determine the FF equivalancy of their shot?
Off the soapbox…
Summary: The 50-140 lens works for me in ways that the 55-200 couldn’t. Internal focus and zoom make a huge difference for me and I probably should have purchased this lens first and skipped the 55-200. The 50-140 is a monster of a lens in comparison, but it fits on my XT bodies well and feels comfortable to tote around. I will shoot this lens most often from a tripod, but when handheld the IS is exceptional and helps deliver very sharp images. Highly recommended!

Modern Fuji lenses (even the cheaper XF) are fast, quiet and pretty accurate. All other Red XF are faster, quieter, and even more accurate. So when I first bought this in January 2023 and found it was noisy in every way, hunted and slower to focus – I was just shocked. Instant return.
Fast forward to July 2023 and I really want this focal range in F2.8 with teleconverter compatibility – I decided to try it again. What changed? Firmware 1.40 fixed a weird rubbery honking that occurred while zooming, a sound that did not occur while off. I swear it also makes the IS whirring more bearable. It locks focus faster, hunts less, feels more precise.
So, 9 years. It took almost 9 years to make this lens worth the price and truly great. That doesn’t mean it shouldn’t get a II version because it should. It does mean I can own it and not think a zoom half the price does a better job day to day. Finally a keeper.

Ottimo obbiettivo ma non ho capito se era in esposizione ho no perché ho trovato un segno di un etichetta che è stata rimossa.
Comunque buon o obbiettivo .

Le pare-soleil cheap et le design du pied sont mes seuls reproches à cet objectif. Je ne peux pas lui reprocher son poids ni son prix ; les équivalents en plein format sont à la fois plus lourds et plus chers. Voir les autres commentaires au sujet de la qualité d’image (exceptionnelle), l’autofocus (rapide et sûr) et la qualité de construction (très bonne, comme avec tous les objectifs Fuji).
Cet objectif prend des filtres à 72 mm. Si vous avez des 77 mm (nécessaires pour le 18-55 f/2.8), le petit trou dans le pare-soleil plastoque ne sert à rien. Le pied amovible est tout juste compatible Arca Swiss, mais n’est pas biseauté. J’ai failli perdre l’objectif et mon X-T5 en pensant qu’il était bien attaché, mais ce n’était pas le cas. Vissez une plaque au pied avant de l’attacher à un trépied. Aussi, il est trop en avant du centre de gravité ; on ne peut pas poser l’objectif + boîtier sur le pied. Heureusement, on peut tourner le collier ou bien carrément dévisser le pied de l’objectif.
Pour ceux qui hésitent entre cet objectif et le 55-200 mm f/3.5-f/4.8 ou le 70-300 mm f4-5.6, il faut savoir que le premier est vraiment un outil professionnel. Il coûte beaucoup plus cher et pèse davantage pour une plage de focales plus réduite, mais il est plus polyvalent, puisque l’ouverture est constante. La séparation du sujet de l’arrière-plan est bluffante. Le piqué est bien meilleur à toutes les focales dès f/2.8. Il est tropicalisé (ce n’est pas le cas du 55-200). La mise au point du 50-140 mm est interne ; le barillet ne s’allonge pas. Les autres objectifs aspirent la poussière beaucoup plus facilement.
La question est vraiment de savoir si la grande différence de prix est justifiée. Pour moi, la qualité d’image, l’ouverture constante et la polyvalence de cet objectif (c’est un bon outil pour le portrait, le sport en intérieur, le spectacle, le mariage…) me font dire que oui. Je me sépare de mon 55-200 (un peu à contrecœur, j’avoue) et n’utilise le 70-300 que dans certaines situations bien précises.
Objectif vendu par Amazon et livré dans les temps. RAS.

Comprado por 1000 euros en oferta de Amazon que dolió soltar , pero desde entonces no he dejado de usarlo . Lo he usado en una xt2 y ahora en xh2 y la definición es una pasada. La contra , pues el peso y el tamaño . Hace unos retratos bestiales con un bokeh muy suave y sin la limitación de una lente fija , pero a costa de peso y de no pasar desapercibido . Si crees que tus fotos suelen andar en esas longitudes y no quieres cargar con varios fijos perfecto . Si por el contrario haces la mayoría con un 50 o un 80 , pues si son de calidad , en la teoría siempre gana en fijo . Para mi por versatilidad y para la calidad q necesito me sobra objetivo
