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).

Check out my review. https://themostbeautifulworld.com/blog/review-90mm-fuji

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!

Not my feelings. I found 56/1.2 more clinical then 90/2 rendering which is very close to 60/2.4, 35/1.4, 18/2 that in my view are best Fujis primes regarding 'soul'.
