Pros: Very sharp, lightweight, very good OIS, detachable Arca-Swiss foot, price.

Cons: None

Opinion: I've owned many super telephoto lenses from Nikon, Leica and Fujifilm. This one is by far my favorite. Well balanced, quick, small and light and inexpensive relatively speaking. Works great even on the first GFX bodies, I use the 50R and very pleased with the focus speed and accuracy. Seem to be well built. The hood locks and has a sliding door like Fujifilm's other telephoto lens hoods. Overall first impressions are extremely favorable.

Pros: Lightness.Image quality, very high and uniform sharpness from the center to the edges, stabilization. It is well built, on the barrel there is everything you need.

Cons: Tripod bracket a bit short and angular; We lack 2 cm in length and a soft upper cover that would have greatly facilitated grip and carrying comfort

Opinion: It is the first extreme and modern telephoto lens made for medium format. There is even nothing similar even for Fujifilm X (apsc) demonstrating how much the Tokyo company wants to focus on this "great" system! The purchase price, not low, is all in all correct, it costs a little more than its brother Sigma 500 F5.6 made for Full Frame. The autofocus is totally silent, and in my opinion, it would also be fast and accurate, the problem is that it is limited and slowed down by the camera bodies, which for obvious reasons, are not as fast as many other Full Frame or like Fujifilm Apsc. This behavior limits its use a little in the most extreme and fast areas and situations, but it does not take away the possibility of taking many beautiful photos in dynamic, sports and poop situations, including birdlife, both posed and in flight, over all distances, including birds of prey at high altitude. On the contrary, its lightness facilitates it and inspires its use freehand in wandering hunting, where it does not tire even after a day of use. Too bad, unfortunately, for the support foot which is slightly short: two cm are missing in length which would have favored and made the grip and transport much more comfortable, which instead are a bit uncomfortable in the long run. The bracket (ark swiss) should be a little longer and a little less angular, and have a soft upper part, as is the case with all valuable super telephoto lenses. The construction however is appreciated, there is everything you need, very nice and comfortable the ring for the apertures (even if you would need a lock for each value) very soft and pleasant also the ring for manual focus. The lens hood is equipped with a window, essential for adjusting any 95mm filters. The image quality is very high, the sharpness is excellent and above all it reaches its peak already at full aperture and is surprisingly constant from the center to the extreme edges. The blur is captivating and intense . Perhaps to be very fussy and super "strict", as I am, the images lack a bit of mellowness. A more pastel rendering would have been more appreciated, in order to differentiate itself even more than the Full Frame format. In fact, in my opinion, the high sharpness and the bright colors (of some profiles such as Velvia, and of the RAW worked) are a little too pushed, probably also at the hands of the 100mpx sensor that contributes to removing a bit of softness / "poetry" from the images. However, there remains a great ability to isolate the subject and highlight it. But they are dreams of a "poor" madman like me. nowadays no one notices it anymore, indeed this type of quality that the GF 500 has is just what everyone expects and desires. And the direct rivals (Nikon Z400 F4.5 / Sigma 500 F5.6) are like him. Moreover, if today, as usual, photographers pass over eight hundred coats of Sharpen and Denoise trash. they are really speeches that are worth nothing; ) Another positive note concerns the stabilization: freehand you can go down to really slow times, around 1/25 with great success. I sincerely think that with the release of this telephoto lens and the new GFX 100 II and 100 S II, those who are in possession of a double kit (GF for static and Full Frame with super telephoto for dynamics) can really do without the Full Frame kit and can fully use the Fujifilm GF kit alone with great satisfaction, "renouncing", unless you are a super handle with manual focus, a few super difficult photos with small subjects in fast motion. At this point we are also waiting for a 400 F2.8 and a 600 F4? ; ))

Pros: Amazing sharpness in all situations, and in medium format; lightness and compactness for the focal length, especially multiplied; low price compared to the same performance of the competition.

Cons: -

Opinion: Since I got it, for long focal lengths I'm only using this lens on 100s: remote macro, photo hunting, etc. (the 100s doesn't do badly at all, upgrade to 100s ii perhaps useless, we'll wait for 100s iii, if anything...) instant focus, effective stabilization, tropicalization. I go out light and without worrying about the weather... possibility of implausible cropping.
