Fujifilm XF 150-600mm f/5.6-8 R LM OIS WR lens

Fujifilm Fujinon XF 150-600mm f/5.6-8 R LM OIS WR telezoom

Finally! Now there is also a very popular 150-600mm telephoto zoom for Fuji cameras. These lenses of this focal length already have a clear difference from shorter lenses, but still the size and weight are kept under control. A bird and nature photographer's standard equipment!

• Powerful 5-stop image stabilization
• Cine equivalent focal length 229-914mm
• Works with 1.4X and 2X teleconverters!
• Internal zoom: size does not change when zooming
• Weight 1605g
• Weather and dust-proof construction

It is worth noting that the lens also works with teleconverters: with the Fuji 1.4X TC WR teleconverter, the equivalent focal length is 315-1350mm and with the 2X extension, a whopping 457-1828mm . Of course, the light output suffers, but sometimes the image just doesn't get close to the subject.

As usual, this Fuji 150-600mm also stands out for its quality. The mechanical quality is good, the body uses a magnesium alloy for the frame's support, plastic for parts that are less stressed, and aluminum. This results in a device that is durable and long-lasting, but the weight remains light.

Like other manufacturers, the color is light, in Fuji's case it is an elegant matte silver, this coating minimizes the effect of thermal radiation on image quality.

The optical design is complex and uses up to 23 lens elements, 4 of which are Super ED and 3 ED special elements that correct aberrations. With this number of lenses, the manufacturing process is important, so the Fuji 150-600mm is made in Japan.

Also noteworthy in terms of construction is the internally implemented zoom, unlike other manufacturers , changing the focal length does not affect the size of the lens! This makes it easier to place the lens on a tripod head and makes moving around in nature easier because so-called zoom creep cannot change the focal length.

The Fujifilm 150-600mm includes features familiar from super telephoto lenses, such as autofocus limitation. There is a button on the side of the lens that limits autofocus to only focusing on objects that are more than 5m away. This is useful, for example, when shooting in nature if there are branches or other obstacles between the subject and the camera.

In addition, the SET button can be used to capture a specific focus distance, such as a bird's nest at a certain distance or a goal on a sports field.

Focus is fast, locking in as little as 0.25 seconds, and this works in conjunction with all of Fuji's smart focus features such as EyeAF.
