The Fujifilm XF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 R LM OIS WR offers X series shooters quite a bit of reach at a relatively affordable price as far as supertelephoto zooms go. Does it still offer the sort of performance and image quality professionals demand, however? This great video takes a look at the lens to answer that question.
Coming to you from Christopher Frost, this excellent video review takes a look at the Fujifilm XF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 R LM OIS WR lens. With an equivalent focal length range of 107-457mm, this particular lens offers a ton of range at an affordable price along with a nice set of features, including:
- Two extra-low dispersion elements for less chromatic aberrations
- One aspherical element for less distortion and better sharpness
- Image stabilization system offering up to 5.5 stops of compensation
- Minimum focusing distance of 2.7 feet (1:3 maximum magnification)
- Distance limiter switch for faster autofocus
- Linear autofocus motor for fast and quiet focusing
- Weather-sealed body
- Rounded nine-blade diaphragm for smoother bokeh
Altogether, if you do not need a large maximum aperture, the XF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 R LM OIS WR looks like a nice option. Check out the video above for Frost's full thoughts on the lens.
