Re: Laowa 100mm 2.8 on Fuji x mount ?

- With the crop factor, it would translate in about a 150mm focal lenght on APS-c, correct?

I think the OP with his reference to equivalent 150. may have been thinking this would be a 150 compared to his 90 - this of course, is not the case.

To the OP you are looking at a 100mm lens to replace a 90mm, that is all. As far as equivalence goes, your 90 on APS-C is equivalent to a 135 lens field of view on a full frame camera. In your search for a lens just look at the focal length and max aperture it has, they compare directly to what you now have.

- At 635 gr, the Laowa lens is not really heavy (the fuji xf 90mm weights 540gr).

Regarding weight comparisons - remember to add the weight of the adapter to your thinking, as the this makes a big difference, compared to native fuji X mount lenses, Fringer Pro is 9.6oz 272g

I think this will make the Laowa and a Fringer 900g on a Fuji camera, compared to the Fuji 90's 540g
