Fujifilm XF 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR

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

Cons: Just to be picky, the rotation of the bracket takes place without reference clicks in the 0-180 degree positions.

Opinion: I've only been using it for a few days and it's already won me over. For me, and for my back, it's a dream. It weighs only 1.3kg. You don't need gym biceps, you can use it for hours freehand. Impeccable construction, fearsome stabilization and excellent performance already at TA. Being very sharp, it is possible to crop much more, with excellent results. The bokeh is soft, nothing to do with the "nervous" backgrounds of the zooms. Absolutely adequate price. 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: It is a lens built starting from 1980, sparing no expense, it cost the staggering sum of 7 million lire! Exceptional robustness, all in metal, the optical scheme was designed by W.Mandel, preparatory to the realization of the 280mm APO 1:4 It provides an image with a gradual blur very difficult to find in modern canvases with ED glass, the three-dimensionality of the image is excellent. The resolution has been designed for film, so let's not expect the surgical sharpness of the latest generation glass, on the other hand the overall rendering is much more pleasant, even in color. I don't like the long focus range which makes it unsuitable for action shots, I would use it for selective landscape photography or even in portrait because the compression of the planes is masterfully rendered. The weight is considerable, about 1.8 kg to use on a tripod.
