I love the effect the 90mm lens achieves when shooting close up w/ wide apertures. I know that the Fuji is great for candids, portraits and landscapes, but I find this combination can be very effective for making still life images.
We have several fruit trees in our backyard and over the years, I end up shooting some of the fruit that ends up on our table.

Drake reacted to danwells in XF200mmF2 Lens Rumors
The beauty of the APS-C sensor, combined with today's ISO performance, is that the 150mm front element isn't really necessary - in terms of light and reach, a 200mm f2.0 with a 1.4x (or a 300mm f2.8 used alone) is actually longer while letting in as much light as a 400mm f2.8 on full frame.
Yes, I know that it has a stop less subject isolation (minus the effect of slightly increased length, so really 2/3 or 3/4 stop), but many sports photographers use a 400mm f2.8 because it's the longest lens that lets in that much light (under the artificial light of a stadium), not necessarily because of its rendering.
One $5000 lens is a much more reasonable development effort than two lenses, one of which would be over $10,000.
In terms of attracting pros, I'd far rather see Fuji either build some flashes or outsource the whole flash project than take on TWO exotic telephotos (and a first tilt/shift lens is probably more valuable than a SECOND exotic telephoto, unless they're saving the tilt/shift project for medium format)
To have a true professional flash system, one that complements the lens range they've built, Fuji would need:
A "flagship" flash with the features and power of Canon's and Nikon's best, with wireless capability, probably by radio
A "step down" flash with a stop less power and minus some advanced features for a much more reasonable price (this is the soon to be introduced EF-X 500, assuming the quality is reasonable - I mention this because some of the Sunpaks aren't decent quality)
A little wireless flash for fill light
A commander unit (this and the little wireless flash could actually be the same device, if the costs could be gotten reasonable)
Possibly a macro light
All on the same wireless system, of course. Fuji could make a flash system like this, but they could also go to Metz or Phottix and just get them to make a Fuji-compatible version of what they already have. Leica has simply sold Metz flashes with Leica-compatible TTL for years, and nobody seems to care that most of the flashes don't say Leica (and it frees Leica up to do what they're good at).

I mostly shoot still life & product. Made this just at the edge of my neighborhood in Novato, CA. Nice morning light got me out with X-Pro-1 & new 14mm. Fun rig.
