I use it for 4 years and the Fuji 50 140 is a super-sharp lens throughout the entire zoom range and in almost all settings. It's sharp edge to edge at every aperture.
The Fujifilm 50-140mm has five-stop image stabilization inside and can deliver up to six stops when mounted on a camera with in-body image stabilization like the X-T4. The autofocus system is absolutely brilliant, for both photo and video. This is a practical review of my favorite lens for landscape photography ever.

I don't understand why people complain about not having a metal lens hood. Metal transfers more shock from an impact into the lens increasing the chances of damaging it. I mostly use a hood to protect my gear, but plastic and metal both block the same amount of glare!
Yeah this is definitely my favorite lens right now though
Hi David, thanks for sharing your thoughts! Ciao :)
This lens is not only my favorite one but, in my opinion, unlike a common misconception, this is the most important lens you always have to carry. In this case, I’m not referring to this specific model but, in general, a zoom telephoto lens is an invaluable piece of gear to put in your backpack.
Thank you for the great in-depth review for this lens.
I have the 18-55 and the 100-400 that I use with my X-T3 and have been researching what lens I need to get for in between.
The 50-140 gets great reviews everywhere you look and this video further confirms what my next purchase should be.
Hi Drew, thanks so much for your comment and I'm really glad you enjoyed the video. The 50-140 seems to be the perfect glass to fill the gap between your 18-55 and the great 100-300. I promise you won't regret it :) Ciao
nice review great shots and details. thanks :)
Hi Pete, thanks so much for the comment and glad you enjoyed my work :) Ciao
Your English is very good. The video is very well paced and I think your understanding of composition is more sophisticated than most camera reviewers. Subscribed.
Thank you very much for the lovely comment and for subscribing, Nicholas. I really appreciated it :) Ciao
Gran bella review Andre 👏🏻
Ciao, grazie mille per aver apprezzato il video! 🙂 ciao
Very nice Review Andrea!
Hey Nuno, thanks a lot for the comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you're doing well :) Ciao
Bravo Andrea! That was an incredibly comprehensive and detailed review of this old but magical zoom lens. It's a winner for sure especially if you are willing to look past the points that you highlighted for improvement by Fuji. I use this lens for portrait in good lighting, sports, birding and wildlife and landscape for composition and compression.
Thanks so much for the comment, and I'm really glad you enjoyed the video. The 50-140mm is so versatile. One of the best Fujifilm lenses ever! :)
Molto utile come al solito. Grazie Andrea
Grazie mille per il commento Giuseppe, mi fa piacere che il video ti sia tornato utile. Ciao
Thank you for such a great review. I was about to get a 55-200mm but I think you've changed my mind. And I live near the ocean - I need the weather sealing. Thanks.
Hi Stepen, thanks so much for your comment and glad you found the video useful to make a decision :) Ciao
I'm so loving this lens. Superb for portraiture and I'm sure will be great when I can travel again, as I prefer a longer lens for landscapes too.
Hi, thanks for the comment and sharing your thoughts. Yep, it’s just a wonderful piece of lens to travel with :) Ciao
nice video! really helpful
Thanks so much, glad you found the video useful!
Lovely video! Grazie!
Hi, thanks so much for stopping by and for your positive feedback! Glad you enjoyed the video :) Ciao
Andrea mi stupisci sempre per le eccezionali abilità artistiche e tecniche che riesci e mettere insieme. Dalla musica alla fotografia e chissà quante altre skills hai. Parli benissimo anche in americano. Congrats 🔝🔝🔝
Ciao, ti ringrazio per l’apprezzatissimo commento. Mi fa piacere che ti piacciano queste prime produzioni su RUclips:) alla prossima, ciao
Excellent video Andrea, I loved the production value in the intro! I have the 55-200mm but I really wish it had the collar from the 50-140mm. Regarding your question, the IBIS in the XT-4 means I almost exclusively shoot hand-hand these days apart from sunrise/sunset.
Hey man, thanks so much for your comment and I'm really glad you enjoyed the video. You look like you're lots of fun with your X-T4. It's definitely a wonderful camera, and as you said, the IBIS is very powerful and super convenient on several occasions, especially with the tele at longer focal lengths. In my last trips I almost never used my tripod, so wonderful. Have a good one, mate! :) Ciao
Hi Andrea, regarding the loose lens mount at 12:49, there is an easy fix. I used to have the same problem with my 18-55mm kit lens. By chance, I found it's caused by a loose screw attaching the metal ring to the lens body. After tightening it up and the other three screws, the lens returned to a solid fit. Cheers!
Hi Tai, thanks so much for the tip! I'll try doing that :) Ciao
Hi Andrea, I agree with you, this one of the best lens in the Fuji portfolio. I use the lens as u in landscape, but also for portraits and weddings, is real useful ( without its collar ). Due to its 2.8 aperture, I also use this lens in combination with a X2 magnification, that allows me to perform also wildlife where wildlife was not the initial purpose of my activity in the field, then leaving at home my super tele. I loose two stops, but still highly usable. I also have the 55-200, but after I purchased the 50-140, and even more, after the x2 extender, it becomes useless, that’s why I sold it.
Thank you very much for your comment, Cristiano. The 50-140mm lens is a fantastic piece of glass. However, my personal experience with the 2X teleconverter wasn't quite pleasant. A couple of years ago, I almost messed up an entire day of shooting because of the teleconverter. The image quality is not that impressive, with significant degradation. From my experience, it's a big no-no. The 1.4X is decent but not exceptional. As for the 55-200 lens, it's lovely, although it tends to be a bit soft from 140/150mm onwards. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. Thanks again for stopping by and for sharing your thoughts 😃
great review of a beautiful lens! In case you might be interested: there is actually another tripod foot/ring by a third party manufacturer that has an arca-swiss compatible plate already built in - I've been really happy with it, it's called "iShoot" :)
Hi, thank you very much for the comment. I’m glad you enjoyed the video, and …thanks for let me know about the iShoot tripod collar, I didn’t know it 😃 Ciao
Great review Andrea! Favorite lens for landscape too. Just 2 things I don’t like: the knobs of the tripod collar are a bit loose. And the manual focus ring like on all Fuji Lenses, just a pain when I use it for astro
Hey Ghislain, thanks for stopping by! Glad you enjoyed the video. From my own experience I didn't have any problem with the tripod knobs, but I guess it could happen. The manual focus... oh boy, I'm with you ...it definitely needs to be improved :) Ciao
Great review. I love my Fuji 70-300 cos it’s lightweight and has amazing bokeh for a 5.6 lens
Thanks so much, Barry! The 70-300 is a great choice 🙂
You're not the only one to face those problems. Dustin Abbott in his review addressed same issues, and I myself have experienced the same after borrowing it once from a friend.
Hi, thanks for stopping by and for sharing your thoughts. Yep, the 50-140mm is a wonderful lens and personally, I do love it, but it's definitely not perfect on everything. Ciao :)
Grazie Andrea per il video!! Sempre un piacere ascoltare le tue recensioni e vedere le tue immagini!! Una lente che mi incuriosisce parecchio, ma al momento devo accontentarmi del già buon fratello 55-200, poi chissà se a forza di seguirti non mi prende la scimmia!!😅😅
Grazie mille Devis per il tuo bel commento, apprezzatissimo! Il 50-140 è indubbiamente un'ottima lente, ma non farti beffare dalla proverbio "The Grass Is Greener"; hai per le mani un'ottima lente che non ha molto da invidiare al 50-140 se non per l'apertura costante e una piccola percentuale (molto spesso trascurabile) di morbidezza agli estremi focali. La cosa ottimale sarebbe averle entrambe nel corredo e decidere di volta in volta quale portare con se, ma sappiamo che il mondo non è perfetto ...e per fortuna, altrimenti di che staremmo qui a conversare :) Ciao
@@AndreaLivieriPhoto Esatto, diciamo che quello che fin ora mi ha frenato sulla decisione è stato proprio il fatto del mio utilizzo maggiore ad aperture che variano tra il 5.6 e il 16 oltre al fatto della maggior escursione che a volte non guasta mai, sarebbe bello prossimamente vedere un tuo confronto sulle due lenti!!
In certain situations the loss of reach and compression can be substantial on the 50-140. I'm sure there would be a lot of photographers interested in slightly more reach at the long end then on the wide if they already own the 16-55 2.8. I wish they could make a 55-200 2.8 even if it meant a slightly larger package. If weight and size are an issue there would still be the option of the 55-200 4.5-5.6 for those folks
Thanks Marc for sharing your point of view. In some way, I agree with you. Sometimes I would have a slightly longer zoom range on the max-tele side, but it really depends on your needs and I think that there is always a compromise. Fujifilm has on the roadmap the 70-300mm that could be a really great alternative for a lot of Fuji photographers; also a 55-200 fixed 2.8 aperture would be a nice addition but I guess that size & weight would become a bottleneck for some travel/landscape applications. Ciao
Thanks for an interesting video Andrea. The Fujifilm 50-140 is also one of my favourite lenses, especially for picking out details in woodland photography. I also agree with your assessment of the 55-200, which is a lens I often use on the smaller X-T30 that I occasionally use as a second body. Although the 55-200 is not weather sealed it’s still very well built. In fact I’ve often said to people looking to buy a first mirrorless camera, that if they buy an X-T30 with Fujifilm 18-55 and 55-200 zooms, they will have all the camera and lenses they will need for a long time.
Thanks John for your comment and for sharing your experience with Fuji, I really appreciate that. Totally agree with you, even though the 55-200 and the X-T30 lack the weather sealing, the trinity X-T30 / 18-55 / 55-200 is absolutely a killer kit ...and not just for beginners I would say :) Ciao
That lens traveled with me in everywhere. It survived desert, mud, Antarctic environments, mountains, volcanoes and even seawater splashes. Works like a charm. Lens hood and lens cap are weak points, I totally agree. Screws from foot often come loose as well. Arca-swiss compatible foot is a missed opportunity especially there would little cost added to such a design. Still, it is a workhorse.
Hi Richard, thanks for sharing your great experience with the Fuji 50-140 :) Ciao
There are after-market tripod mounts with Arca available. iShoot XF514 is not that expensive and works great. I switched the original to that one.
I think this lens is great! I thought about adding the 70-300 but I’m not sure I’d like it better than the 50-140.
Hi Bill, yeah, it's a quite hard decision :)
I got my Fujifilm XF50-140mm f/2.8 after trading in my fuji XF90mm and my 18-55 2.8-4.
Hi Dino, that's a good deal! :) Ciao
you are the best. I think that the sweet spot in fuji in aperture is 5.6 to 8
Hi Giancarlo, thanks so much for the comment. Glad you enjoyed the review. Yep, at f5.6 - f8 the lens is outstanding :) Ciao
Just come across this video. Great opening sequence with the drone and your photos with this lens. I too have the 50-140. And yes, the plastic hood could be better designed. I’m guessing, like my other Fuji lenses, they run with plastic hoods to lessen the chance of the metal lens body from getting scratched up. I guess they would rather damage the hood than the lens body Itself. Just my opinion.
On a side note, my father is Italian and comes from Ischia.
Hi, thanks for your comment, I really appreciated it. I'm glad you enjoyed the drone footage. I think your assumption about the material of the lens hood is right. Ciao :)
You convinced me to get this lens. Those pics with XT30 are so beautiful. Any chance you’ll share the footage of this lens being used in harsh environtment? Thank you, Andrea!
Thanks so much for your comment, I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! This lens won't disappoint you. I don't know about any future footage in harsh environment, it might happen :)
I probably use that focal length 70% of the time or more. It's also useful for macro photography.
Same here :) Thanks for stopping by! Ciao
Nice video and content! Great review and sharing your perspective.
Curious to know what tripod /tripod head you’re using? And also maybe an idea for a futures video. Thanks
Thanks so much, glad you enjoy the video! The tripod is an old Benro model, the C2692T. It's very reliable and well built.
The tripod head is a Koolehaod E2 ball head with pan and pano rotation integrated. It's extremely cheap, but it's amazing. It's practical to use and light as a feather, only 280g. I've been using it for three years and it still works flawlessly.
I love it! Ciao :)
@@AndreaLivieriPhoto awesome. Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to future content
OIS is relevant as handheld shots will happen. Would love a system that knows when it is on a tripod and turns OIS off. I believe they exist. I must confess that although I have both the 55-200 and the 50-140, I often reach out to the former as weight and reach often push me in that direction. Great lens in any case.
Hi, yeah, the 55-200 is much compact and lightweight than the 50-140. For lenses like the 16-80 and the 10-24 mkII in the manuals Fujifilm says "the lens recognizes shooting conditions, such as panning and shooting on a tripod and automatically applies the optimum stabilization control". However, I always prefer to turn off the lens stabilization and also the IBIS when the camera is on the tripod. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Ciao :)
what about a monopod? Should I turn off optical stabilization as well?
probably not ideal for street portraits but the pictures you took are so beautiful!
Thanks for the comment, Kenneth. Glad you enjoyed my work. While it's not the typical focal range people use for street photography, it really depends on your style and interpretation of that specific genre.
I'm really wondering about the cheap kit lenses XC 16-50 or XF 18-55 for landscape photography. Make another video using those lenses please if you don't mind. I really love your works!
Hi Angga, thanks so much for your comment, glad you enjoyed my work. About the 18-55mm it's quite good for landscape photography if properly used. It has some downsides at some apertures and focal lengths in terms of the overall sharpness. Anyway, it's a tiny and portable lens that works very well for travel photography rather than specifically for landscape. I don't use any XC lens so I don't really know much about it. Ciao :)
@@AndreaLivieriPhoto thank you so much! 🙏🏽
You are the 1st RUclipsr photographer I know that describe a 50mm (or longer) lens, for aps-c, to be used for landscape. Most I see shot landscapes with 35mm or shorter (27, 23, 18, 16mm, ...). Do you use the "shorter" ones or not? If you do, in which cases?. Anyway, great new perspective.
Hi, thanks for the comment. Well, I use both ranges, the ultra-wide and tele focal range, and it really depends on the scene and the landscape itself. Sometimes it’s just a personal preference. Anyway, I use the 10-24 as wide-angle lens when I want to include in the frame a strong close foreground. The telephoto lens is used mostly to simplify the scene and get closer shots of specific details of the landscape. Ciao 😃
Hi Andrea, thanks so much for such a detailed long term review of this lens. For every review I saw about this lens, everyone had the same observations, that the sharpest aperture is f/5.6, starting to degrade below and higher than that (especially on the new high density 40Mp sensonrs). Do you think this still make sense today, given that there are other options (like the 100-400 or the newer 150-600) narrower options? The feeling is that Fuji really lacks of a brilliant lens on that range, especially for the newer high density sensor.
Thanks for the comment and glad you found the video interesting. I think the 50-140mm is still a valuable lens with an excellent image quality - my all-time favorite, actually! Choosing the 100-400 or 150-600 over the 50-140 doesn't make a lot of sense. Each lens has unique features, making them quite distinct. And the sharpness factor is just one aspect of the equation. None can truly replace the other.
Thanks so much for your reply. I've ordered this lens two days ago, can't wait to put my hands on it!
thank you for the video, it is an amazing lens. Did you have any chance to compare it with 55-250 please?
Thanks so much, Tomas! Glad you enjoyed the video. I got to compare it with the 50-200, which is an amazing lens as well. It really depends on your needs, but overall the 55-200 is an excellent piece of glass.
Im more hand held filming documentary cinematic, im interested in the Fuji 50-140mm 2.8
Surely, you won't be disappointed by its wonderful features. Ciao
I think a plastic hood is fine, if it fits properly - both ways around!
That little removable door for polariser access is a bit stupid though, almost bound to be dropped and lost. A sliding one like Sony lenses have would be much better.
Hi Stevo, thanks for the comment. Totally agree. Ciao :)
I bought it recently. real test wioll be on faroe islands soon. ThenI will know if 55- 200 was better choice (used previously)
Cool! Enjoy your trip with the new tele. You won't be disappointed :)
Thanks for a great review. I have Fujifilm xs-20 : not sure how 26 m pixel resolves the image compare to the “40 pixel Fujifilm?
Thanks for the comment and glad you enjoyed the video. As for your question, I talked about the 26MP vs 40MP comparison in my X-T5 review.
I just picked this lens up via your link. At 04:50, you mention using the AF over the MF mode. I can't seem to get as sharp landscape photos with the Fuji AF, so could you explain how you focus your shots? Thank you!
Hi John, sorry for the late reply. I've been in Iceland leading a workshop for the last ten days. Okay, your AF question. Focusing with a telephoto lens, or any other lens, is pretty simple. The camera makes the "dirty job" by itself. You just need to select the focal point where you want to focus in order to have sharp image. If for some reason your shot looks "soft" you might be to consider the depth of field, which is strictly related to three aspects: the focal length, aperture and the distance between you and the subject. Ciao :)
Hello, I was curious about your thoughts of using this lens on an Alaska packrafting trip in the Brooks Range. No tripod!
Hi Travis, the lens is wonderful. I would probably go with something lighter, like the 55-200 or the 70-300. The differences in terms of image quality and sharpness are negligible :) Ciao
Hey ciao 😊 bellissimo video, spiegato tutto molto bene.
Una domanda, lo stabilizzatore dici di disattivarlo se si usa il cavalletto per lunghe esposizioni.
Se invece uso il cavalletto per un esposizione "normale" tipo 1/80 a zoom massimo, è meglio lasciare attivo o disattivare in quel caso la stabilizzazione ?
Ciao, grazie per il commento positivo e per aver apprezzato il video. Riguardo l’abilitazione o meno dello stabilizzatore quando la fotocamera è su cavalletto, diciamo che se inizi ad avere tempi di esposizione nell’ordine di alcuni secondi e a salire, è buona norma disattivare la stabilizzazione. Per tempi simili a quello da te indicato, l’eventuale blur è meno probabile. Con focali lunghe il lavoro grosso di stabilizzazione lo fa il treppiede. Tuttavia, onde evitare sorprese (l’elettronica a volte può fare di testa sua) io preferisco disattivare sempre la stabilizzazione. Ciao :)
@@AndreaLivieriPhoto grazie mille gentilissimo ☺️
Di nulla, figurati. Ciao
is this lens good for portraits?i do lot of indigenous tribes in brazil, i dont see many reviews with portraits samples.
Thanks!
It's super versatile, and it works beautifully for portraits as well.
Hi Andrea, I appreciated for your very valuable contents as I am going to pick up my next Fujifilm lens. As you mentioned before that you shoot like 35% of your photos at 50-70mm range(apsc format), Are these 50-70mm mostly for landscape ? Fuji 50-140mm is so versatile , I am considering to get it for my traveling trip, but I mainly shoot street photography , I have got 35mm 1.4 already, but I would love to get another one.:) What is your opinion ? Thanks
Hi Dong, thanks for the comment, and glad you enjoyed my work. Very much appreciated. The 50-70mm range is very important to me, it's the sweet spot for most of my panorama shots. The 50-140mm is surely not the most lightweight telephoto lens Fujifilm produces, but the experience of using it, the versatility, and the IQ are unparalleled in the Fuji ecosystem. I'm quite sure you won't be disappointed. Let me know :) Ciao
@@AndreaLivieriPhoto I am going to try it out tomorrow , also the 55-200mm , I plan to get either 50-140 or the 55-200 .
@@dongliu5002 That's great! Try them and see which one fits the best :)
Does someone use it in combo with the teleconverter 1.4x? I'm in doubt for buying this 50-140 in combo with the 1.4x or buying the 100-400... I would like to use it mostly for naturalistic shots (animals etc) but also portraits
Hi, thanks for stopping by. The 50-140mm with the TC 1.4x works pretty well with great performance. The AF remains snappy and the image quality degradation is almost negligible. I tried myself both the 1.4x and the 2.0x, and I definitely don't recommend the 2.0x. A complete waste of money. The image quality is embarrassing. If you need a tele for wildlife photography, the 100-400 is a lovely lens and it's much capable in terms of focal range for tighter compositions. Ciao
cool, an additional 2 piece cartridge battery pack will do wonders with this lens
I’m looking renting this tomorrow to see if I want to purchase it. Can I get away with using this handheld for landscape photos in the mountains? Should I also rent an ND filter for it?
Hi Luke, to test the lens you don’t need an ND filter. It depends on what you wanna photograph tomorrow. I would say, grab a polarizer filter instead, in my opinion it’s way more useful in the mountains. Enjoy the 50-140 :) Ciao
@@AndreaLivieriPhoto my bad I meant to mention it’s very sunny day tmo , how does the Lens handle that
You know, the one thing that I DON'T like about this lens... is the tripod foot, because it doesn't have a groove, so I cannot use it with the L-Bracket on my camera! I still need to attach the tripod's own plate.
Hi Tim, yep, the lack of a "universal" integrated plate on the foot it's a little bit annoying. The use of a dedicated plate is required, there is no other way. Ciao
Interesting... I have read others complaining about the mount or the wobbly attachment of the lens to the camera on other forums, vidoes ... Fuji fxxxed this one up I think. Not good. Not good at all for £1300. Why didn't you bring/send the lens back to the store? I would have done that for sure...
Hi Istavn, personally I didn't have any serious problem with any wobble with the lens. However, I agree with you that Fujifilm should definitely improve it in a possible future MKII update. Who knows. In the meantime, thanks for stopping by. Ciao :)
Lo acquisterò a breve e sono convinto che diventerà il mio obiettivo preferito è che 90 volte su 100 sarà montato. Unico dubbio, leggo in giro perplessità sulla accoppiata con l’X-T5. Cosa ne pensi? È veramente un’ottica così datata per l’X-T5?
Per mia esperienza personale, il 50-140mm si abbina alla X-T5 perfettamente. E' uno di quegli investimenti che difficilmente te ne pentirai.
@@AndreaLivieriPhoto grazie Andrea!
@@rickyfiol Di nulla! Ciao
can i use this with xt200
Absolutely, all the X-mount lenses. Ciao
It si necessary to deactivate the ois in camera also when you shoot on a tripod?
Hi, for handheld shots the OIS is an invaluable feature that reduces the chances to get a blurry image when you're using a relatively long shutter speed. When the camera is on the tripod it's always a good idea to turn the OIS off. Quite a few stabilized lenses will still try to compensate for motion that isn’t there and actually cause your shot to get worse when on a tripod. So, if you plan to shoot with long shutter speeds like few seconds, I highly recommend deactivating the stabilization. Ciao
@@AndreaLivieriPhoto thank you very much for your answer Andrea! 🙌🏼 Ciao
@@miguelsantos93_ No worries, Miguel :) Ciao
I'm gonna have a hard time deciding between this lens and the 80mm macro...
It really depends on what you like to shoot, they are two very different lenses.
@@AndreaLivieriPhoto I might own both at some point as they do fulfill different purposes, but man is it hard picking the 1st hahaha
Ahahah!
Excellent review. But how about 70-300 mm new zoom lens?
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the video! I published on the channel a dedicated video about the 70-300mm, so check it out :) Ciao
the only bad thing about this lens is the strange smell of the rubber zoom ring. this smell lasts a long time at your hands. Don't know why this lens has it, all my other Fuji lenses doesn't smell that bad
Hi Andy, honestly, my 50-140 doesn't smell really bad, or at least it doesn't bother me :) Ciao
You have a cheap ball head for an expensive lens and camera, my opinion. I use tripod 90% of the time now.
Thanks Vitor for your comment. You’re right, it’s quite inexpensive compared with many other ball head on the market. However, inexpensive doesn’t mean unreliable or low-quality. I’m using it for 4 years and it’s absolutely fantastic, much better than other expensive ball heads and with excellent features that work perfectly for my modus operandi. Cheers
