Fuji 150mm 5.6 W lens

[Curt]

I tried my Fuji 150mm W lens out for the first time at the Tonopah workshop and found the results to be spectacular. It's very sharp and I will have to explore new uses for it. I bought it for my son but he has different objectives in life so I have it back in my bag. It was an eBay purchase, since I was building a starter kit, and I didn't notice and it wasn't listed as a "W" lens. This is a center portion of an FP4 negative developed in Rodinal 1:50 12 minutes and downsized for the web. I'm sure the film choice is a contributing factor but the lens is right sized, f5.6 and apparently very sharp.

Throughout their history, they haven't often had an official US importer and their name recognition is very low. A pity, as most of my lenses are now Fuji lenses and they are superb.

And the 6.3 is equally sharp. I have that and the 135/5.6 W. Nice lens.

Indeed Fuji's EBC glass, in particular, is superlative.

This site might be helpful, especially since there are many Fuji offerings, even at the same focal length...

Another thumbs up on Fujinon lenses. My favorite is an older, single coated 250mm f/6.7 for my 5X7.
