Fuji XF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR lens Review:
It’s only been a few short years yet Fuji has definitely been very busy expanding their X Series system. They went from having just three fixed focal length lenses to a system that now encompasses a vast range of different fixed focal length and zoom lenses. Thanks to the newly released Fuji XF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR lens, they’ve now expanded to the extreme telephoto range. So far, Fuji have done a really good job making some first class lenses, so expectations are very high for this new zoom, especially since the asking price of $1899 makes this the most expensive lens in the X Series system so far. So, does the XF 100-400mm fulfill these expectations? Does it measure up? Read on and find out!
(For those interested in 1.4x Teleconverter, here’s my review of it). [continue reading…]
Bronx Zoo With The Fuji XF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 lens:
As some of you know, I’ve been shooting with the Fuji XF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR lens for a while now, and I’m pretty much done with it but since I’m having so much fun with it, I decided to keep it for a little longer ;). In other words, my XF 100-400mm review will have plenty of photos accompanying it. Anyway, I decided to go to the Bronx Zoo yesterday because I haven’t been there since I was a kid, and I wanted to give the XF 1.4x TC WR Teleconverter a little more exercise. It was sometimes difficult using the teleconverter with the XF 100-400mm in the city because of the sheer reach this lens has with the teleconverter attached. [continue reading…]
Photographing Some Boats With The Fuji XF 100-400mm:
I’m going to try out the Fuji XF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR lens around downtown Manhattan today, so I have to catch my bus in a bit but I just wanted to post something up real quick. The weather hasn’t really been that great these past couple of days although that has changed today since it’s like 85 degrees. It’s so strange to go from a sweatshirt and jeans to a t-shirt and shorts literally overnight :). So basically, I haven’t used the lens much these past couple of days but I did manage to photograph some boats around a harbor I live by. I’ve always wanted to photograph some of these boats but I never had the reach before. I normally would have to crop way too much. Thanks to the XF 100-400mm, now I do :). [continue reading…]

Night Photos With The Fuji XF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 Lens:
I woke up at like 5am today thinking that I’d go out and take some pics with the Fuji XF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR lens that I have on loan but it was raining a lot and it was just kind of gloomy overall. I usually have no problems going out in less than ideal weather but I was just hoping to see a little sun oday. Plus, a lot of my recent pics have been taken in this kind of weather, so I wanted a change. Some blue skies with nice puffy clouds would be nice :). So instead, I thought I’d share some pics that I took from the other night. I still may go out later. [continue reading…]
