Product Description
XF70-300mmF4-5.6 R LM OIS WR makes it easy to take super telephoto photography with you on your greatest adventures and create images that convey the true excitement and awe of the experience. This remarkably versatile X Series zoom lens offers an equivalent focal range of 107-457mm and a minimum close focusing distance of 32.7in (0.83m) throughout, achieving 0.33x maximum tele macro magnification. It is also possible to pair the lens with XF1.4X TC WR and XF2X TC WR teleconverters to achieve a huge equivalent focal length of up to 914mm in exchange for only 2 stops of stop-loss. Autofocus is driven by a linear motor for fast, near-silent autofocus precision, while the built-in Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) provides up to 5.5 stops of vibration reduction. All this ensures you're always ready to make images, whether it's the undergrowth beneath your feet, or a tree on a distant horizon. This much ability often requires a trade-off in size, but XF70-300mmF4-5.6 R LM OIS WR's 17 elements in 12 groups, including two ED elements, are housed within a highly portable body that measures just 5.2in (132.5mm) in length and weighs 1.3lb (580g). With a dust- and moisture-resistant construction and the ability to operate in temperatures as low as 14°F (-10°C), this lens makes the perfect companion, wherever your next adventure takes you.

Great long range telephoto.
Great telephoto lens! The extra reach vs the 55-200 is well appreciated on top of also being weather sealed.

Amazing travel lens for landscapes
This is an amazing lens for the Fuji X series of cameras, and provides extra reach in comparison to the 55-200 mm lens. It is small and light enough for traveling.

Nice lens
Nice lens, it’s a bit heavy and a little bit difficult to make the lens extend but nice lense
-

Stellar telephoto option that's affordable!
Overall: If you want to expand your reach beyond the kit lens, this telephoto zoom lens is an great choice. Build Quality/Size: This lens is weather resistant (WR) and adds peace off mind when shooting in the dusty, rainy conditions. Considering its zoom range of 70mm-300mm it is fairly compact and weighted nicely, not too heavy nor too light. Comes with a good size plastic lens hood that will prevent any unnecessary sun flares. Zoom ring is fitted with a tactile rubber grip, and it turns smoothly without being overly tight. The manual focus on the other hand feels loose while turning, it is very smooth as your turn it, but definitely the least resistant I've felt compared to all the other Fuji lenses I own (10-24, 18-55, & 50 f/2). Not really an issue because I would rarely use manual focus anyways. Image Quality: The Images I get out of this lens is sharp with beautiful separation from the subject and the background. Bokeh is pleasing and smooth, it is very easy to isolate your subjects to give it that "professional" look. This lens has fast autofocus, even paired with my ancient Fuji X-T1. Features: OIS: The optical stabilization works really well, very quiet, and aids in nailing that sharp photo especially in the longer focal lengths because camera shake is even more pronounced the longer the zoom is. Since this is a newer Fuji lens there is no ON/OFF Switch in the lens body, it must be turned on/off in the camera. WR: Pair this lens with a weather sealed camera body and you can tackle pretty much any shooting conditions without much worry. Zoom Lock: The lens is equipped with a LOCK SWITCH on the lens body (prevents the barrel from extending when not in use) A common feature on most zoom lenses with barrel extending zooms, but the neat thing with their implementation of this feature is that it auto unlocks once your start moving the lens barrel. My previous 18-200 Nikon Zoom had this lock switch but it required you to manually unlock it each time - which can be costly when it comes to capturing fleeting moments in photography. Autofocus Limiter: The lens can be left on FULL (the autofocus system will go through the whole focus range as it tries to nail focus or you can leave it on 5m to infinity. Useful feature in specific scenarios. Its a nice touch considering its not a "red badged" professional XF Zoom lens. Things to consider: It is a variable aperture lens, so at 70mm it is f/4 which is nice and bright, but as you zoom to 300 the widest aperture is f/5.6 Misc Thoughts: Pair this with the Fuji 16-80 and you have a 2-lens kit that has OIS, WR and covers 16mm-300mm focal length. This lens is great for portraiture, also for macro type of shots, and anything that requires you to get closer to your subjects such as wildlife, bindings, sports, etc. The last two images I included shows the zoom capability from 70mm to 30mm.

Do yourself a favor and buy this lens
To start, I’m a graphic designer and relatively new to the photography scene so this isn’t a technical review. This lens blew my expectations out of the water. I own the Fuji 23mm 1.4 LM, Sigma 30mm, and Fuji 18-55mm and I love them all for their unique abilities, however this has quickly become my new favorite lens. The sharpness across the board is amazing, great background blur on subjects and the ability to photograph wildlife without getting too close and sacrificing quality makes this a forever keeper in my book. The price point is great and it’s compact enough to travel with. Can’t wait to take it to Disney World this summer.

Get this.
This lens is a gem: light, fast to focus, water resistant and sharp. I wish the hood was smaller and that it had a dedicated aperture ring, but other than that, this lens can take on the much more expensive and heavier 100-400.
