I am an ex Nikon user and a professional photographer and have the 90, 16, 23, 35 and 50-140 zoom lenses.

I have to say that the 90mm is the sharpest lens of the bunch, by a long way too.

I love this lens, when I look at the images I want to stop using all the other lenses, its so good. I may have been lucky and bought an excellent copy, this is one lens I value above all the others.

 

If it has a problem, its without OIS, you need to shoot hand held at 1/500 minimum for the best IQ. Wide open its excellent, f2.8 to f5.6 it is outstanding.

 

When the new XH-1 with IBIS arrives, that should make this lens the greatest ever,

I am only hoping that IBIS does not have any adverse effect on the IQ of this lens

I have this lens for about 3 weeks . It is great lens very sharp from f2 . I have no problem with 1/180 hand held at f2. Using X-T20 . 

I don't thing that stabilisation will much help . In body IBIS is not so good as OSS in glass.

Whilst I agree the 90mm is a very good lens, I like the 56mm 1.2  just as much, so those two for me are very close as greatest XF lens so far.........

but we haven't seen the 200mm yet! Also the 55-200 for a zoom is a excellent performer. We could discuss this to the end of time! Everyone has a different

view. The important thing is we are blessed with a company producing excellent products for us to enjoy!
