Really enjoying the Fuji 90mm on the X-Pro2
10

I have the Fuji hand grip on my X-Pro2 and that combination handles the 90mm nicely in terms of ergonomics. Here is a shot using off camera flash and the Fuji remote app for a quick self portrait.

Very nice.  Looking at Flikr 90mm group photos is pure lens porn.  Wish I could afford one.

Great shot! I've been on the fence with the 90mm for a while now. If it had OIS, it would be in my bag by now.

90% of my usage of the 90 will either be in golden hour outdoor portraits, or for indoor portrait sessions with off camera flash.  For both of those scenarios the lack of OIS is not an issue.  If I was needing to handhold at slower shutter speeds then I would be grabbing for the 50-140 2.8.   When you have control of the light though, the 90 is a sweet sweet lens.
