- I've owned the 50-140 for a couple of months now but only recently took it out for the first time to a portrait shoot.
I share some thoughts and opinions as well as photo samples.
Love your pictures and edits! Very helpful insight on the lens!
On fire man, absolutely beautiful pictures!!
Thanks for watching!
Great shots...
Thanks for watching 👍
I owned the 50-140 for a bit. I love the build and sharpness to the size; it's a very good lens. I shot everything from sports to portraits are were very happy with the results. That being said, I didn't use it much as I thought I would. It's a beast to carry around (along with other lens) in the backpack. What finally did it for me and why I sold it, was the crazy strange bokeh that you get with this lens when you have anything jagged in the background (i.e. like tree branches). I don't know if this is still the case; you may want to test it out.
I fondled one at Adorama when they first came out. When I was looking at it in the store I kept telling myself that it wasn't too big to carry around but, after renting one for a few days, that changed. As you said, it is a very good lens. Hell, it's a great lens for someone that wants/needs a 70-200mm equivalent Fuji lens. It just wasn't something I really needed and certainly not something I could justify dragging around NYC. The 18-135mm would probably serve me just fine if I had a need for a longer zoom(I don't). None of that means I wouldn't buy the 50-140 in a second if I had the disposable income laying around.
hey , it is a bit big so definitely not a lens that will automatically get packed on every portrait shoot.. For travel , I'd like to bring it every time , but as someone who has stuck mostly to the f2 series of primes until recently, I can definitely feel the weight when i have recently brought it on a vacation, or on hikes.. and yes i would agree, i certainly wouldn't ever call it a bokeh master
heard this about the bokeh which scared me away too and saw it when I rented it once. Kind of wish they'd come out with an upgraded Version 2 of this lens sometime soon. I ended up getting the 55-200 awhile back and love it for size and performance. Yeah not a constant f/2.8 but an underrated lens and a LOT cheaper
Im a firefighter first and a shooter second so my opinion is skewed. With that being said the weight is negligible if your used to heavy stuff. I heard people complain constantly about the 16-55 and when I got it I almost laughed. anyways take care
That is why I ended up buying the 16-55. the 55 end is great for close up work but then I have the option of zooming out for a full body shot. I recently bought the 85mm but even that is limiting in when and where I can use it
the 16-55 is quickly becoming a favorite for me!
Great pics
Dope 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!
