XF 50-140mm Review
If the 16-55mm is the wide to mid ‘must have’ this is the f2.8 constant 70-200mm equivalent of the range. Sharp and clear edge to edge and though all the focal lengths. It’s packed full of all the latest and greatest tech Fuji could find, such as nano Gi coating, LMO (corrects for diffraction), HTEBC Coating (ensuring ghosting and flare are controlled), five ED lens elements and one Super ED lens, 23 glass elements in 16 groups then seven rounded aperture blades to create a smooth, circular bokeh. The worlds first triple Linear Motor and a massive 5.0 stop stabilisation too. Oh… and the lens is weatherresistant, dustresistant and will work in 10°C low temperature.
