One of the unique strengths of the Fuji ecosystem is the wide range of lenses of varying quality and price points specifically designed around the APS-C sensor (in this case a 1.5x crop factor compared to 35mm/full frame).  Fuji’s APS-C-centric focus has allowed them to both maximize the potential of an APS-C sensor and also develop lenses purposefully for that smaller sensor. One such lens that you won’t find on other APS-C platforms is the Fujinon XF 50-140mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR lens.

A quick breakdown of what all those letters in the name mean if you don’t “speak Fuji”.  

• 50-140mm is the equivalent range of 76-213mm on a 35mm/full frame sensor (every lens mounted on an APS-C camera has the crop factor of the camera applied)
• R = Ring, or that the lens has an aperture ring
• LM = Linear Motors, meaning that the lens has Fuji’s upscale focus system
• OIS = Optical Image Stabilizer
• WR = Weather Resistant, meaning that the lens has weather sealing components in the lens.

In short, the 50-140 OIS has most of Fuji’s premium lens boxes checked.  This is a pro-grade lens, the equivalent of the popular 70-200mm F2.8 lenses that available on all major full frame camera systems and are one of the most popular tools for any portrait, event, or wedding photographer.  I have used a 70-200mm type lens in 98% of the weddings that I’ve ever shot.  I would consider the 50-140 OIS to be one of the indispensable lenses on the platform, and it is the third lens in the Fujinon pro-zoom trinity, including the 8-16mm F2.8 (my review here) and the 16-55mm F2.8 (my review here).  The 50-140mm is not a new lens (it was released in January 2015), but I personally came late the Fujifilm platform and having been slowly working my way through the catalog.  You can check out photos taken with the lens on the new Fujifilm X-T4 below.
