Fujifilm Fujinon XF 50-140mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR Review
The 70-200mm full-frame zoom has long been the go-to choice for event photographers and serious enthusiasts. Fuji's mirrorless system is built around the APS-C sensor size, so its Fujinon XF 50-140mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR ($1,599.95) is the equivalent.
