FUJIFILM XF 100-400MM F4.5-5.6 OIS WR LENS

Until the XF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 release, Fuji’s marketing was directed primarily towards portrait, wedding, landscape, and travel photographers. This lens, however, is aimed squarely at the sports and wildlife sector of the market. The twin linear motor autofocus system makes the lens quick to focus on fast-moving subjects. And the lens’s 35mm-equivalent of 152mm to 609mm make it ideally suited to photographing distant subjects.

The lens offers excellent optical image stabilization. The OIS, combined with the lens’s relatively lightweight (compared to Nikon and Canon 500mm prime glass), make it easy to handhold and shoot in low-light conditions.

The XF 100-400mm lens is compatible with all of the X-series interchangeable lens cameras. However, the lens is particularly well suited for use with Fujifilm’s X-T2 camera. The X-T2’s fast continuous shooting and ability to create a user-defined AF-C custom preset compliment the lens beautifully.
