The Fujifilm 200mm F2 in 2024

In my latest video, I revisited one of my favorite lenses, the Fujifilm 200mm F2, which I’ve owned for nearly five years. Originally designed for sports photography, this lens offers incredible subject magnification and background compression, making it surprisingly effective for portrait work. I took it out for some portrait sessions, and the results were stunning. The 200mm F2, especially when paired with a 1.4x teleconverter, transforms everyday scenes into dramatic, high-impact images that are usually reserved for professional sports photography.

Despite its weight and size, this lens is a joy to use, delivering crisp, detailed photos even in challenging lighting conditions. If you're interested in seeing how this lens performs outside of its usual sports environment, check out the video for a detailed look at its capabilities in portrait photography. As always, feel free to leave your thoughts and suggestions in the comments.
