    Nice job with the review. The Fujifilm autofocus system continues to lag behind the competition but the lens is much better than the experience you shared on this video. Ive owned the lens for several years I've photographed many different sporting events and shot lots of birds in flight and wildlife, I can assure you it's better than the experience you had, not perfect but not awful. Also my understanding is the only the provided 1.4 extender is to be used with the lens. Thank you

      I did not use a 2x extender. Only the 1.4. I miss the lens so much I’m currently saving to buy another. Fuji is just so much easier to edit(color grade) than anything else I’ve tried. I’ll deal with the focus issues and lack of lens selection. Hopefully they’ll catch up. I think they missed the boat by making the 150-600 f8

    Too many viable options on other systems under $6-7.5k… nobody paying that much should accept anything less than stellar performance. Fuji can’t seem to keep up with af and the 150-600 was disappointing with such slow aperture.

      Its 5.6 from 225-276mm and 277-473mm at 6.4 its really not that slow. All those sony, nikon, and cannon only go out to 500-600mm not 900mm

      @@shanevassar9884 false… but even if that were accurate, it’s slow for a $2k APSC lens… According to Dustin Abbott: 150-182 = f5.6 183-310 = f6.4 311-520 = f7.1 521-600 = f8 The 100-400 zooms have same / similar aperture to the Fuji 100-400 f4.5-5.6 but have the advantage of mounting both FF and APSC sensors. Canon 100-500 gets to 800mm with it’s 1.6x crop while still being 1/3-2/3 stops faster aperture and much better af system.

    Hi Brandon. I just purchased the Viltrox 75mm f1.2 lens & I am looking forward to getting some portrait images with it. I noticed your Fujinon 200mm f2 lens in the background . AWESOME lens. I am fortunate to also have this lens in my kit. Both of these lenses offer fantastic image quality. Best wishes for your channel.😊

    Your issues are not lens-bound… they are bound to the autofocus implementation in the X-H2S

    Damn. That’s a bummer about the focusing speed with objects coming at you. 😢 You mentioned football. Did you get to try this lens out at all shooting football?

    • @MrBthames2000
      @MrBthames2000 ปีที่แล้ว

      It was fine with larger objects(ie not birds or squirrel sized animals) and I think using a zone autofocus instead of eye it would do well with sports. I’ll probably save up and purchase another one at some point.
