[Photography] A Photowalk with the Fujifilm XF100-400mm F4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR

Yes, managed to acquire the very new Fujifilm XF 100-400mm, which was released in early February, and I missed the pre-order promotion which I may get the 1.4 teleconverter for FREE..

Nevertheless, been eyeing this lens for very long, since it was released from the X lenses roadmap. I am glad it is finally out.

Before making the purchase, I was trying to find sample images, but I could not. I guess the lens was pretty niche and new, so I decided to go out take some for reference to people like me. Photographs are taken with the X-T1. The photographs have the size reduced, to view full size photographs, see here.

A random photograph of a dragonfly.

A Little Bronze Cuckoo (I think?).

A Yellow-vented bulbul.

An Ashy Tailorbird.

Size wise, the lens is slightly shorter than Tamron 150-600mm.

The Bigron (top) vs the Fuji (bottom).

The lens feels solid and dense. It is actually slightly heavier than the Bigron. It is sharp and responsive, and coupled with the superb performance of a X camera (a X-T1, or an X-Pro2, maybe?), it is a viable system for nature photography, esp. birdwatching.

Goodbye to bulky telephoto system!
