Fujifilm 23f/1.4 and 90f/2 vs Canon 35f/1,4L II and 135f/2L, has anyone shot with both alternatives?

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.

Thanks AL,

I have seen your great work with the 50f/1.2L over the years and read your blog post on this lens: https://aldownie.me/2014/12/22/canon-50mm-f1-4l-hand-made-by-magic-photography-pixies/

I hope you kan make some time adding a blog post or two reviewing your experience with the Fujifilm X-Pro2 and your new Fujinon lenses compared to using 5D3 and Canon lenses.

You just helped me getting a bit closer to buy a X-Pro2 and one lens to test it out. I have read your "Buyer's remorse!!" post. If you had any time to test the 23mm before returning it, how did the 23f/1.4 R and 35f/1.4 R compare optically when used wide open?

I am starting to ask myself, if I get a X-Pro2, can Fuji be my only camera system? Or is it better to combine the best from two systems?

We love to travel, often far away for many weeks, a smaller & lighter kit is a big help. My priority is to get the best possible photos of my family, friends and my 13yo sons many and ever changing sports activities. Many are indoors in badly lit places forcing me to use 3200-12800 ISO to get a decent shutterspeed to stop action. Other intrests are lanscape, architecture, astro, wildlife and some birding.

I prefer small and fast primes over large zooms. The only Fuji zoom I think I really need is the 100-400 for outdoor sports, wildlife and birding. If the new Canon 100-400 II is in any way better I will get that instead.
