![]() ![]() Up close performance is fairly good, with decent detail and contrast along with a nicely flat plane of focus. It mentally connects you to the high end 200mm F2 OIS, which is probably the point. The lens looks premium, however, and I find this particular finish very attractive. The stated reason for the finish is to help keep the temperature of the lens down even when used in bright or hot conditions, though I have to confess I’ve never had an issue with a black lens even in the hot sun. This a premium lens, and, as noted, it is only the second lens to come with Fuji’s “silver matte” finish. OIS = Optical Image Stabilization, or in lens stabilization.LM = Linear Motor, Fuji’s premium focus system.R = Ring, or specifically an aperture ring.In this case, the name includes R, LM, WR, and OIS, which is a pretty much all of them! Fuji XF 150-600mm Build and Handlingįuji likes to essentially build the feature list of their lenses right into the name, so if you learn to “speak Fuji” you can quickly get a sense of what a lens does and does not have right from the name. As always, this is a completely independent review and my conclusions are my own.

We’ll try to highlight both the strengths and weaknesses of the lens in this review to help you make an informed decision. The price tag of $2000 USD is only $100 more than the 100-400mm despite the additional reach and more premium look, so potential buyers are almost certainly going to directly compare between the two. There’s a lot of positives about this lens, though there is also one significant hurdle to overcome in its design. For now, however, let’s look at the upside: the 1.4x allows you to reach to 900mm (1350mm equivalent) and the 2x allows you to reach to 1200mm (1828mm equivalent). ![]() This is easily the longest focal length on the X-mount platform, giving one the full frame equivalent focal range of 229-914mm, which can be stretched even further by the use of either the Fujinon XF 1.4x or 2X TCs (though with some serious limitations that we’ll note in a moment). Enter Fuji’s second lens to carry the silver finish of the XF 200mm F2 – the Fujinon XF 150-600mm F5.6-8 R LM OIS WR. ![]() The 70-300mm is more of a consumer grade lens, so that left the 100-400mm as the sole professional telephoto zoom on the platform. I loved the latter lens, but at a price tag of $6000 USD, it obviously isn’t for everyone. The number of serious telephoto options on Fuji’s X-mount have been fairly limited in the past, with the standard 70-300mm ( my review here), 100-400mm (review coming soon), and then the premium XF 200mm F2 lens ( my review here). ![]()
