Best Fuji / Wedding Content on KZbin hands down.

[@philporto]

thank you so much. trying to grow it but this aint easy haha

[@joebeta]

The XF 90mm f2 is an amazing lens. The auto focus is quick, too.

[@philporto]

yes it def is!

[@trentschlamp]

Love this man! I've long called this my magic lens for all the reasons you just described!

[@philporto]

thanks for the comment and watching. it really does have a magic sense to it!

[@nate_thenotso_great]

Thanks for the info, Phil! On the fence between this and the infamous Viltrox 75mm 1.2…

[@bobharper7014]

Phil. Great video. Glad you are well. I've been eyeing this lens for a while. While I'm just a hobbyist, I totally see your points on capturing moments with this during events. I do love my F2 23 for gatherings and now have a solid reason for picking this up. Thanks!

[@philporto]

thank you so much. heck yeah, you should rent it. think youd like it!

[@peter-frank]

Totally agree 🙂

[@TheOldVeganDude]

Hey Phil! Glad to see you are back. Great vid. Never shot the 90 but might rent one over the summer coming up. Hang in there and stay well.

[@philporto]

thank you that means a ton. you should def rent it!

[@congocowboys386]

Can confirm. What a lens

[@philporto]

thanks so much. it def continues to give the wow factor

[@HumanClouds]

Great lens, great video! Thanks!

[@philporto]

thank you so much!

[@danpotter]

I love this lens too. I use it for cermeonies, drinks reception and many portraits. Thanks for the video 👍

[@philporto]

you are so welcome! thanks for watching. yeah its great during ceremonies, speeches, and cocktail hour to snipe and get close ups without disrupting the vibes

[@thilonoll6178]

I bought that lens last month and I love it . I also like your videos. 👍📷

[@philporto]

thank you, that means a ton

[@jitsantan]

ya, i agree with you the XF 90mm f2 is an amazing lens

[@philporto]

thanks so much! it def is

[@MathieuPhotoArt]

That lens is my absolute favorite Fuji lens, for all the same reason. It's just that good, that separation of the subject is amazing. I still love the 23mm too those two are about 90% of all images I take. Remember I said my Fuji gear was good enough to shoot our Canada pro basketball aka US' kindergarten basketball, well just weeks after that Weber state came for a tournament in town and that 90mm bad boy took some amazing shots of Dillon Jones.

[@philporto]

HECK YEA! That is awesome to hear! link me to the images!

[@Elements795]

Enjoyed the video Phil👍 Looking at choices for my next Fuji lens. Was considering a WR rated telephoto as an “add on” for my 35mm f2 and 16mm f1.4 for some street photography however, I already have a Tamron 18 - 270 paired with a Canon 40D (for dry days with decent light!) so leaning towards the 90 f2. In your opinion would this be a better choice for Street?

[@TheMickebostrom]

I have the Canon EF 135/2.0 and it is super-duper. Now when I also have a Fuji-camera i expect the 90/2.0 to be the same or better!

[@philporto]

yeah, i absolutely love how good this lens has been since I got it!

[@esppics21]

The 90mm is such an under rated lens. If I would ever get rid of my fuji system. I would keep one body just to use this lens. My top lenses Fuji 90mm and Sigma 56mm 1.4 sharp sharp sharp.

[@philporto]

heck yeah. def worth keeping no matter what

[@mikeireland2428]

Got it, use it with the xt5, it's great.

[@philporto]

it def is!

[@CadenMcCullough2424]

Nice review man!! How does the Autofocus hold up on the 90mm? I’ve seriously been considering it.

[@philporto]

its great! I love it. for something at that local length its great. message me if interested. i have two so selling one. [e-mail]

[@ijovy3]

Hey Phil great video! Have you compared the 90 to the 50-140? years ago i went with the 50-140 instead of the 90 and while i've enjoyed the versatility i feel that the 90's more compact size lends itself to event work better compared to the 50-140. I just feel too obvious running around with the zoom. I just don't know if there's enough of a difference between them to justify the purchase of the 90 - I'm hoping Fuji renews it with a faster aperture.

[@philporto]

I havent done a compare but Ive had both and prefer the 90. the 50-140 is an INCREDIBLE zoom lens. Just very bulky and not something i used or would use oftern, so i let it go.

[@cow77cow]

I boght the viltrox 75mm f1.2 instead. But still want to try the 90mm.

[@esppics21]

I owned both and sold the 75mm I prefer the 90mm. I didn't jive with the 75mm

[@philporto]

i hear its a good one, but not enough of a snipper lens focal length for me.

[@marcusbeasley3212]

I have bought the 90mm twice now. First was when I got into Fuji for the second time and the second time it was the first thing I bought when I got back into Fuji. It's one of those lenses I constantly recommend to people. 137 is just so odd for so many people and they opt for the 56 instead. The 50 1.0 balances poorly I would imagine on the XT bodies, on the XH bodies I think it's more than fine...thing does have some heft though.

[@philporto]

yeah, the heft just wasnt it for me. and at times the 90 bokeh seems more natural to me as well. but both are great lenses.

[@marcusbeasley3212]

@@philporto Yeah both are great. The 90 has a better 3D pop or whatever people call it. The subject separation and the sharpness is chefs kiss. Used it recently with the 56WR and the colors were great.

[@gregshawphotography8828]

Awesome video. I have this lens, but I haven't put enough images on it yet. I'm getting ready to go on a trip to The Philippines soon, and I still haven't narrowed down my lens choices yet. Being that I shoot more portraits, I want to bring a few variations. The 90 I have been highly thinking about. What other lenses would you bring on a trip like this for mostly portraits and a few groups?

[@philporto]

I love the 90mm. I use it for some portraits but the lenses I default to on trips would be the 18 and33, but the 18 and 56 are also a great paring. you want something wide enough to show the beauty of the area and one close enough to capture the culture and the people

[@gregshawphotography8828]

@@philporto Thanks for the recommendations. I don’t have the 18, but I do have the 16-55 and that covers a lot of bases. I’ve decided on that lens to bring plus one other. Either the 56 or the Viltrox 75 1.2

[@philporto]

yeah the 16-55 covers a lot of ground. i just wish they would upgrade it and it be a bir cleaner/ sharper

[@mileswittboyer.photoco]

Whatever you say is fact. Not my favorite lens but that must mean I’m shooting it wrong. ❤

[@Snapit551]

Great video 👌 I believe the viltrox 75mm f1.2 smashes the 90mm in terms of image quality, bokeh and price

[@philporto]

id love to compare the 2, just the focal length for me, 75 isnt ideal since i use it for various reasons.

[@sil3ntscr3amlx]

Ah...watching this review gives me GAS...so tempted to get one because someone is selling an excellent condition used for about half the MSRP. Bless my wallet...

[@philporto]

hahahaha DO IT! hahah
