Hello Fujifilm Japan,

I hope you are listening. I had the privilege of shooting for STYLE magazine last week and used my X-T2's and a couple of lenses, the 56mm f/1.2 and 90mm f/2.0. Now, I also have a comprehensive Nikon system with 3 bodies and around a dozen or so very fast lenses.

Although the 90mm is a gorgeously brutally sharp lens and has incredible micro contrast, I would have been absolutely ecstatic had your lens been a f/1.4 i.e. 135mm f/2.0 equivalent lens.

The bokeh is very pleasing but as I shot head to toe, it didn't have that 56mm f/1.2, 35mm f/1.4 and 23 mm f/1.4 magic. To get the kind of bokeh I really want, I must crop in quite closely, (which can be ok). That extra stop would be a major game changer for me.

I also have the 50-140, but my wife used it for the video of the shoot.

So Fuji, make me a 90mm f/1.4 a 135mm f/1.8 and you will have fulfilled my dreams and functional needs. Can't wait to get my hands on the 200mm f/2.0 lens.

Thanks and Keep Up the Great Work!

Hello Ben,

I love your work! Which software do you use to process your fuji raw files? I've recently switched from Nikon, and I'm little down by the smudged details when working in Lightroom. Any tip or advice?

We DO NOT use Lightroom or Adobe Bridge to process our images. We Only use it an editing tool to choose our final selections. No sharpening whatsoever. We then import our selected images into Adobe Camera Raw, remove any CA and import directly into Photoshop at 16 bits where we do our sharpening, i.e. around 0.4 to 0.5 pixels at 120-140 percent. Perfect!

Will the Sigma 85mm f1.4 Art lens pair with the Fuji with an adapter at all?

A 35/1.0 and 90/1.4 would be amazing. But yes, you should get your hands on a GFX.
