Fujifilm XF 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR

Pros: Optical performance, lightness, build quality, AF motor, easy handling.

Cons: If you want to be picky, it would be useful if the rotation of the bracket included a click in the 0-90 degree positions.

Opinion: I've been using it for a few days and it has already convinced me. For my back it's a dream, I'm only 1.3kg. It is easily used freehand. Construction at the highest levels, excellent stabilization and superlative performance already at TA (f/5.6). You can crop thanks to its sharpness. The bokeh is pleasant, nothing to do with the "nervous" bokeh of the zooms. I equipped it with a great Chasing Birds cover to preserve it from scratches. Price absolutely adequate to the performance. My best purchase in many years. Vote 10

Leica Telyt-R 350mm f/4.8

Pros: Blurred, three-dimensional, color, robust.

Cons: Fringing, focus travel too long.

Opinion: Built starting in 1980, without compromise, it cost the staggering sum of 7 million lire! Very robust, all in metal, the optical scheme is by W.Mandel, preparatory to the creation of the masterpiece 280mm APO 1:4 It provides an image with a gradual blur that is not found in modern canvases with ED glass, the three-dimensionality is excellent. The resolution has been designed for film, let's not expect the surgical sharpness of the latest generation glass, on the other hand the overall rendering is very pleasant. I don't appreciate the long focus range that makes it unsuitable for action shots, I would use it for landscape photos or even in portraits where the rendering is masterful. The weight is considerable, about 1.8 kg to use on a tripod.
