Product Details / Description:

Renting the FUJINON XF100-400mm allows Fujifilm users to capture details and action that are far beyond the reach of standard lenses. This lens is perfectly suited for documenting Japan’s diverse birdlife, covering sporting events, or capturing far-off scenic views.

The optical formula features 21 elements in 14 groups, including six ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lenses and one Super ED lens. This elaborate construction ensures exceptional image clarity and effectively suppresses chromatic aberration, which is vital for sharp images at ultra-telephoto focal lengths. The autofocus is powered by twin Linear Motors (LM), providing the necessary speed and responsiveness to lock onto fast-moving targets. The 5.0-stop OIS is a critical feature, allowing photographers to shoot the massive 609mm equivalent focal length handheld without relying on a tripod in all but the lowest light. Despite its long reach, the lens weighs approximately 1,375g and comes equipped with a dedicated tripod collar/mount for balanced support, and full Weather Resistance (WR) for peace of mind in adverse conditions.

Faqs:

How effective is the 5.0-stop OIS at the 609mm equivalent focal length?

The 5.0-stop OIS is highly effective and crucial for this lens. Without it, the slightest handshake at 609mm would blur the image. The OIS allows for surprisingly stable handheld shooting, dramatically increasing the keeper rate for both stills and video, especially when tracking moving subjects.

Can I use a teleconverter with this lens to get even more reach?

Yes, this lens is compatible with Fujifilm’s XF 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters. Using the 2.0x teleconverter would extend the maximum focal length to an incredible 800mm (1200mm equivalent), though the maximum aperture would decrease to F11.

Why are ED and Super ED elements necessary for an ultra-telephoto lens?

Chromatic aberration (color fringing) becomes far more pronounced at extreme focal lengths. The six ED and one Super ED elements are highly specialized glass types that correct this aberration, ensuring that images remain sharp with clean colors and high contrast, even at 400mm.

What is the benefit of the Linear Motor (LM) system in this lens?

The Linear Motor drives the heavy internal focus groups very quickly and precisely, which is essential for successfully tracking birds in flight or athletes in motion. The LM system also focuses silently, which is beneficial when approaching skittish wildlife.

Is this lens heavy to carry all day for travel?

At 1,375g, this is a substantial lens, especially when combined with a camera body. It is designed for serious photographers who prioritize reach. For optimal comfort and stability, it is recommended to use the included tripod mount on a sturdy monopod or tripod for prolonged shooting sessions.
