Fujifilm's go-anywhere super telephoto is an excellent performer with a deluxe but fair price
It's the only telephoto available for the Fujifilm XF system so it's a good thing this is an excellent lens. I have directly compared this to the Sony 200-600mm and, despite the obvious autofocus advantages in the Sony, the printed images are more often indistinguishable. To my mind it's slightly behind image quality in the Nikon 200-500mm and Sony 100-400mm GM but equal to the Sony 200-600mm and Sigma 150-600mm telephotos. What that means is that you will not be disappointed in the image quality. The autofocus was actually quite excellent on the XT3, XPro3, and the XT30. If you are using an older generation, you might find a drop in hit rates on the XT2 generation sensors / AF systems. This is a decent value zoom when bought used, and a little pricey for an APS-C telephoto zoom brand new. All that being said, it does the job and it finds its way into my backpack due to its weight and size more often that my Sony 200-600mm for opportunity birding.Read full review
For Fujifilm interchangeable lens camera owners, and if you like to take photographs of wildlife, this lens is perfect. It is a bit heavy, but balances well with either the X-T2/T3 or X-H1 with added grip. It is well made and the quality of the lens shows in the way it focuses and zooms so smoothly and in the resulting photographs. For me, the reach is perfect for those zoo trips with my grandkids or my treks into the mountains for pictures of elk, deer and birds. Get one and enjoy using this gem.
Purchased this lens primarily for birding as I was looking for more 'reach'. Using it with my XT-3 and yeah, the lens is a bit heavy and cumbersome to handhold (but what 400mm lens isn't). I ended up using it with the additional battery grip which gave me better control managing it. Putting the tripod bracket on it and using it on a tripod makes it very manageable if I'm shooting stationary subjects. Using it for flying birds is still challenging. The images are tack sharp and the it hits focus rather well. Overall I'm very happy with the lens. A few of my shots are attached.
Very good lens if you need a long telephoto for fuji. It is heavy and expensive but worth the price.
The OIS is also very effective and it is quite impressive to be able to hand-hold a 600mm equivalent lens with great results.
If you plan to use this on a tripod you should consider buying a foot replacement with a arca-swiss foot.
The lens will feel a little big on your fuji but it's nothing compared to some of the DSLR telephotos. More importantly, you can get tack sharp photos and great detail from this lens, plus it's extremely durable and well made. OIS is amazing
