Fujifilm XF 100-400 mm f/4,5-5,6 R LM OIS WR

The Fujifilm XF 400mm f/4.5 R LM OIS WR follows in the footsteps of its bigger 500mm silver-white sibling, with an arguably more ‘effective’ focal length, and it’s faster too

Bought this lens for both photo and video of motorsports. The picture is crystal, the OIS is perfect, weather resistant is more accurately weather proof. Filmed with this lens in a 6 hour down pour for 2 days straight back to back and the weather sealing did its job (still recommended covering your lenses). The construction of this lens is high quality metals. The AF is fast and smart. Overall an amazing lens that can be used for anything you shoot.

Good Points: The image stabilisation is very impressive.

Good Points: I have had similar product from a different manufacturer just a few years ago. Optically this is as good if not better. The design of the tripod ring is far superior - easy to fix and remove. Handheld on an XT4 the balance is good and the focus, aperture and other controls fall easily to hand. Improvement Points: Some people do not like an electronic aperture control. I have not qualms about it except that the setting cannot be viewed on the barrel of the lens. This true of all lenses on the X series Fujifilm cameras. Extending the lens works well but could be a little less stiff. though obviously some friction is essential. Cost - but I guess you get what you pay for.

Good Points: Like all Fuji lenses this is very well designed and built Improvement Points: You do need to pay for things which are this well made so make sure you really need it!
