Fujifilm XF 100-400 mm f4.5 – 5.6 Lens Review | Scott Grant

Fujifilm Canada reached out asking if i would like to try the new telephoto lens; the XF 100-400 f4.5- f5.6.  Considering that i cut my photographic teeth on a telephoto lens and have been missing extended reach since switching to Fujifilm several years ago i was quite eager to try it out. A couple of days later the courier delivered a small box to my home.  At first i thought that it may have been something else i had ordered but the return address stated Fujiflm Canada.  It has to be the 100-400! I cut the box open and inside was what looked like brand new lens.  It was smaller than i expected and much lighter!  This was starting off on the right foot!  I spent years standing behind a Nikkor 500mm f4 VR.  In comparison this lens is a total lightweight which i was thinking might be very hand-holdable, if the image stabilization were up to snuff! The hood supplied with the lens is of high quality and great design.  It is sufficiently large enough, attaches in reverse position to keep size down, and has a sliding window to access polarizing filters while the hood is in place.  It connects to the lens with a designed locking tab………
