Fuji Showcase Fujinon 100-400mm WR samples

[P0rkh4m3r]

Took the XPRO2 and the 100-400 Rallying this weekend, performed well. Such a well balanced lens.

An excellent shot! It's the kind of shot that Ken Rockwell reckons you cannot take on an Xpro2 with 100-400!

 

[Bobby Tingle]

Sick shot!

XT2 and 100-400 were potent at a Rodeo event this weekend ....

Note grain has intentionally been added in post for some of these (TriX400 is what I was going for!)

Makes me want a 100-400. Even though I don't really shoot anything that I need a 100-400 for

 

[KillRamsey]

I already wanted one, but these are excellent. Especially like "Yee Haw"

Thanks guys. It's a lovely lens and surprisingly sharp from wide open across the focal range.
I've taken it now for field work shooting Rodeos to surfing in Hawaii and the lens hasn't missed a beat on the XT2 with boost grip.

No posts to this thread since August?! Has everyone except me stopped using this lens?
I used mine in earnest whilst on a Kenyan safari in November and was just amazed at the IQ when mounted on my XT2. We had a well-known wildlife photographer/TV presenter in our jeep for a couple of days. He's Canon through and through and using Canon's 100-400 f4 on his 1D Mkii or whatever, but even he was wowed by the Fuji combo, especially with focus peaking.
Anyway, here's one of many images from the trip - more to follow!

I shot in colour on the safari, honestly, but am starting with a couple of monos. My wife wants me to get this one printed large (she adores elephants!).

Great images. I'd love to have one of these lenses, but it's way out of my budget.

Focus peaking? Didn’t know it had zebra pattern too

Boring shot of the moon from yesterday evening...

Took my X-Pro2 and the XF100-400 to our local wetlands area today. First time out with this lens. Love the size, seemed to acquire AF well enough.

 

[SRHEdD]

Today, the 100-400 played lacrosse. Two images, the first with X-Pro2 using Velvia simulation which I find a bit too bright, it is toned down a bit here and still too bright. The second was the standard Provia setting which renders grass much more naturally.

I find the X-Pro2 gives me as high a percentage of sharps as my Sonys, the AF never let me down, and I used one battery plus a segment of the second to shoot 750+ photos thru three games over 4 hours. I prefer the ISO dial just where it is, and can easily switch film simulations on the fly. The only negative I have after this day is the battery life, but even that is minor. These are as sharp as I'd ever expect and need, both are cropped slightly and still held up just fine.

BTW we were at a pre-season jamboree and I shot from the stands. I hate the perspective here, but once the season starts on Monday I'll be on the sidelines with better access.

This one is more processed, but it is my son in green, he'll share this with his friends... and girlfriend.

 

[Bobby Tingle]

Great job on these. Making the Pro2 owners proud.

Thanks, loving the camera AND that the 100-400 fits in my bag (mostly), compared to the Sony 100-400 I just sold.
