Another of Dustin’s “definitive reviews”. No thanks
What do you find wrong with his reviews? Not asking to argue, just to get your POV. I have found his videos quite good. If a bit long but entertaining. I personally enjoy that he isn't too worried about technical testing like MTF charts. We always have Christopher Frost's excellent channel for that end of the content. Just my 2 cents. Would love to hear yours.
Paul is a chronic complainer. He thinks when Dustin uses "definitive" it means no one else's opinion matter. I've already explained to him that's not what it means when Dustin uses it.

I have this lens and used it with XH2. I must say the review is excellent. My experience was exactly as he described. I got better results with XT2 than XH2. I got it for the reach but without good light most images were of modest quality. I think 100-400 mm is far superior lens. Despite the cost, F2 200mm with its built in extender is definitely one of the best even though you may get only a reach of 400 mm. If you are choosing between 150-600 and 100-400, I recommend the later.
