Is the fujifilm gf 100 200mm f 5 6 r lm ois wr good for portraits?

Yes, it's a sensible portrait lens, with one caveat. On Fujifilm G medium format it frames roughly like 79-158mm on full frame, so its range sits in the flattering telephoto zone I describe in Portraits. You stand far enough back that noses and chins stay in proportion, and 135mm sits near the middle of its zoom range.

The f/5.6 maximum is the trade-off. You get less background blur than a fast 135mm or 70-200mm f/2.8 would give, and on that sensor it behaves like about f/4.4 for depth of field. It works best outdoors, or with your subject well in front of the background. Stabilisation and autofocus make it easier to shoot handheld.

It fits several GFX bodies, including the Fujifilm GFX 50S II and the Fujifilm GFX100 II. If you already shoot medium format, it's a good headshot lens. If you don't, a faster telephoto on a smaller system will give you more blur for less effort.
