Heck, the 90mm f/2.0 is a gem of a lens.

It was... too good? Too clinical? I remember judging camera reviewers for saying that.

It's a thing. Not kidding.

The lens lacked a soul, as opposed to the 56mm f/1.2 or 35mm f/1.4 or even 16-55 2.8 (yes, this lens has a soul I swear).

Anybody else thought the same?
It's a typical discussion on the Fuji forums... 56mm f/1.2 or 90mm f/2 ?

56mm f/1.2 every single time!

I have only seen imagery from it that has depth, detail, excellent color rendering and that certain quality that you really can’t describe. Clinical? I love that term.

But, I am very glad for you that you found that a piece of equipment you had didn’t meet your needs so you moved on from it. Resolve and acceptance are two very challenging qualities in the world of GAS.

Good luck and please post some of your clinical images so I will have an understanding as to what you are saying - hard to grasp the concept. Thanks!
