The images in the link were likely shot with the Canon 70-200f2.8.  Do you think the Fuji 50-140 is capable of these kinds of images (i.e., depth of field in some of the shots)?  Examples I see online do not appear to deliver this quality of bokeh.

There is no way of escaping the laws of physics. The smaller sensor of the Fuji X system requires the aperture to be approx one stop faster than the equivalent FF application for the bokeh to look the same. As Pierre points out, the Canon 70-200 f/4.0 would create an image that more resembles the Fuji 50-140.

 

Apart from the bokeh comparison though, the Fuji 50-140 is a fantastic lens. Amazingly sharp and a real joy in use. It gives good contrast and in keeping with the Fuji tradition, the colour rendition is superb.

Looking at the photos in the linked article, it appears to me that the backgrounds were blurred in PhotoShop.  I've owned every version of the Canon 70-200mm f2.8L zoom, and none of them could render a background that looks like those examples.  If you look closely, you can see a strange dark "halo" around the main subject in each image where it was masked off so the rest of the image could be selectively blurred.

 

If that's the case, you could certainly achieve the same effect with the Fuji 50-140mm f2.8.  

 

And don't forget, there is no difference in depth of field between the Fuji lens and the Canon lens if you use them at the same aperture, focal length, and subject distance.

Blue Jays are tricky to get good photos like you have, they tend to fly away as soon as the lens cap comes off 😀.

      I own the Fuji X-T1 and X-H1. I own several Fuji lenses but I tend to use 3rd party vintage manual glass which I find quite enjoyable to use. I'm testing a photo here taken from my Flickr account that showcases the Tokina 100-300mm Zoom lens with 1.4 extender.

      CANNOT BACKUP OR RESTORE X-T4 SETTINGS WITH FUJI X ACQUIRE

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      Forgot to mention another thing. Mine does not work if I plug the USB cord into a USB hub. It only works if I plug the cord into one of the USB ports on my computer itself (an iMac). This surprises me because I think there's a hub built into the computer itself, which is how the computer has multiple USB ports in the first place. I think it was somebody here that suggested I try that -- sorry I don't remember who!

      xPro1 can't change aperture with fujinon 27mm

      On another forum someone suggested spraying some electrical contact cleaner into the wheel but the Fuji tech said that could risk frying the rest of the cameras electrical so I haven't tried that.

      Potential bug in X100VI - C mode, screen going very dark

      By sfainbraun · Posted

      I have an x100VI with 1.01 firmware - did a reset already and didnt solve issue I am about to describe. Can you all see if your camera does this: Switch to C mode, step down to f16 and then press shutter half way. Does your screen go dark? I have tried playing will all settings (have had the following so quite familiar with the menus: x100, x100f, XT-2, X-Pro 2, XT-3) , only happens in C mode. If you find this can you report to Fuji @ digitalinfo@fujifilm.com. They told me they had not seen this before and that it was normal behavior because the shutter is closing, but the shutter closes in S mode as well.
