Fuji Fuji XF 70-300

This lens should not tempt me, but it does. For cycling, it would be useless, unless I carried it in a backpack and swapped to it when I wanted to use it. Certainly not an ideal situation. But for short walkabouts, it could be useful. I still like to occasionally photograph songbirds around the yard, and I currently have nothing that will do that.

If I still had Fuji gear this would be very interesting to me. It could also plug one of the holes I see in the Fuji lens lineup, the gap between the 200/230mm and 400mm zooms.

If it works with the teleconverters, this will be very interesting for me.

It looks like a sweet lens. Thank heaven I have the 55-230 to dampen my enthusiasm to switch.

Your wish is granted. Check out photo #10 in the photo section of the article about yesterday's summit. I've been thinking of picking up a lightly used 50-230 II or 55-200, but this one has me wondering if holding out is a better option. Unfortunately, it will probably run around $1,000-1,200.

I’m interested. Long lens is my favorite. I’ve really come to appreciate the quality of the 50-230, so if this is as good/better and longer...could be a good mate to the XT3.

This lens does sound intriguing. The 100-400 gets filed under too big and too heavy in my book. But this might be interesting. On the other hand, I sold my X-T3 and X-H1 a few months back and I'm not sure that I'm going to replace them. The 70-300 might not be be a very good pairing with my X-Pro3.
