The Fashion strap may be a bit narrow for heavy Fujinons. My 16x70 Fujis came with a version of the Op/Tech Pro strap w/o the quick releases; they say "Fujinon" instead of "Op/Tech". They're too heavy for ANY strap but the curved 2-1/2" wide Pro model would certainly make the 50mm Fujis more comfortable around the neck.

The 2" wide Classic strap may be enough:

Even in hot weather these straps are cool and comfortable; I wore my Nikon E2s/ Fashion strap all day in baking sun at the NASCAR road race in Sonoma on Sunday with no ill effect.
