I like Fuji, but their professional zooms are sometimes as heavy or heavier than their FF equivalents. I think it's fair to criticize the weight of something that's heavier than the competition. This is a review after all. I see where you are coming from with saying that OP shouldn't buy a professional zoom if he doesn't want the weight, though.

All of these are examples of fuji lenses weighing more than their FF counterparts, which should be larger.

The 100-400 weighs the same as sony's GM 100-400 with the same aperture range.

The 50-140 weighs much more than the canon 70-200 f/4.

The 16-55 weighs more than the nikon 24-70 f/4.

I just pulled these particular lenses off of what I know. I'm sure there are many more that Fuji is heavier than.

The 90f2 is heavier, bigger than canon or Nikon 85 1.8 as well. Is it better? Yeah I think so... but can see why many think they went too big on this and other lenses.

As for the thread, there are basically 2 different camps in mirrorless at this point and Fuji offers the bodies and lenses for both camps, so yes there will be differing opinions.
