90mm F2 and X-Pro2

I keep thinking about selling my 90mm for the 55-200 to give a bit more flexibility. But every time I do use it, the images are so nice that I can't bring myself to get rid of it!

AF Tracking on the X-Pro2 doing the business as well. This little boat was moving fast! Tracking through the optical finder was much easier than the EVF - and obviously no blackout either.

Thanks for looking

I had it before then I bought it again. It is amazing portrait lens.

I sold mine, but maybe I should buy another! Great pics!!!

You can't sell the 90! Pick up a used 50-230 for cheap flexibility; IQ is as good as the 55-200 at the expense of aperture. But with the shots you're getting, no, you can't sell the 90.

Thanks for showing us a portrait lens can actually do well for some landscapes too. Very sharp images 👍.

Nice images! I went out on a photo shoot this weekend armed with only a 35 f/1.4 and the 90 f/2. What a great combination...

Please don't sell it. You will miss it immensely

A zoom does not replace a prime, and vice versa. Nice photos.

I have both the 90 and the 55-200 and actually enjoy the 90 more for landscapes - mainly it's sharpness and colour.

Brilliant Andy....

Hi,

Dug out a few more from this lens and camera combo. It's definitely staying, even if I don't use it as much as I should

Andy.

Ok, stop, you're hurting my eyes! 😁 Amazing photos, Andy!

Every one of these are photos I would be proud to hang on a wall. While I know you would capture amazing photos with the 55-200 also, most of what you've shown us could not be captured without the 90/2.

Perhaps the best advice is to get a used 55-200 or the 50-230. I will add one more piece of advice, if you don't mind... shoot more with the 90/2 lens and show us more of your amazing work.

Thank you for the inspiration; truly some of the better work I've seen here.

It's clear the 55-200 can shoot 'more' photos, but the 90 can certainly shoot more quality photos.

I'm not pretty sure it being just (...) a matter of gear here nonetheless I like how this lens renders on portraits, bravo!
