First. I'm just an amateur. I don't have much experience in portrait photography where I'm working with a model. It's just "fun" for me to take photos. So yes this is for me testing the 90mm F2 but don't make an opinion about the performance of the lens based on these photos. I've just registered myself for a portrait/streetphotography course to learn how to take decent photos. 

I loved the lens and ordered me one ...

I rather like the bokeh it gives
The only issue is that you'll get noticed while taking street photos

On this photo you see the same "issue" what I also saw with the olympus 300mm F4. When branches are really close to the subject, they are shown "double".
Here I don't like the bokeh at all ... just something to remember when taking photos I guess : "make sure that there's sufficiant distance between subject and background"
 
can't wait to test my copy though , it's sitting here waiting until I got a fuji body (xpro2)
 

I wanted to contribute to this topic for days, but I was looking for a way to upload high resolution images. I've dediced to upload them to flickr, set to private. I hope you can see them. You should be able to click some them to see the big versions:
 
 
My first image with the lens:
 

 
I think the image quality is nice, but you can see slight CA at the crow's throat. For me it's okay, the black crow on the bright blue sky is a pretty harsh transition and this is the only image that I've seen CA.
 
 
Then there was a cute little woodpecker:
 

 
 
And a nice great tit (dark, high iso):
 

 
 
If you ever asked yourself the question which Fuji-X lens has the nicest "bokeh", the 56 1.2 or the 90 2.0, the answer is: The 100-400. But don't take my word for it, have a look:
 

 

 

 
The nine-bladed aperture does a great job.
 
/edit: I'm slowly migrating the images to the forum, for persistence.

Weather was perfect yesterday so I had a short photo walk with family and time to test lens outside (all pics with TC 1.4 of course ;-) ...
 
Distance about 30 meters OOC 380mm f/7.1 1/800s ISO800

No problem ... just make sure they understand I'm just an amateur photographer
