135L vs XF90
2

I have just, in the last couple of weeks, traded in my Canon 5D3, 50L and 135L, for Fuji equipment including the X-Pro2 and the 90/2. I loved - REALLY loved - both of those Canon lenses. I lived and breathed the 50L for ideological reasons, and although I didn't use it very often, I loved the 135L because I'd never shot anything as sharp. It was really, really painful to let it all go, but in the end I was prepared to make some compromises in order to save bulk and weight. HOWEVER! I have to say, frankly, that I'm astonished by the Fuji 90mm. It's sharper than the 135L, and in combination with the X-Pro2 it completely out-resolves the 5D3/135. Smaller and lighter, but better. Amazing.
