The Fujifilm platform has been the best place to be to get excellent APS-C lenses of all shapes and sizes.  Fuji’s strategy has been to forego the popular 35mm (full frame) sensor and putting all their eggs into the APS-C basket.  They’ve also moved into the Medium Format space with their GFx system, but that is a more niche, specialized space that the average photographer is essentially oblivious to.  The APS-C shooters in the Canon, Nikon, and Sony space have typically had to make due with mostly lower tier lenses for APS-C, as the vast majority of the development from these companies is for full frame.  Fujifilm shooters, however, have been treated to a fairly significant array of options (both commercial grade and premium) in and around most popular focal lengths and zoom ranges.  Case in point is the lens that we are reviewing today, the Fujinon XF 90mm F2 R LM WR (hereafter called the XF90 for brevity), which is a premium grade 135mm equivalent telephoto lens at a very popular portrait focal length.  I recently reviewed the Fujinon XF 56mm F1.2 R lens, which serves a role much like an 85mm lens on a full frame (35mm) system.  These are both prime focal lengths for doing portrait work.   I’ve done this review on a Fujfilm X-T3 camera body.  You can get a sense of lens performance in advance of my full review by checking out the photos below.
