Pros: Sharp, very fast focus in good light, excellent image stabilization. Good bokeh in most situations. No chromatic aberration.

Cons: zoom creep, small lens foot, MFD is too long

Opinion: This lens is very sharp at all settings and focuses nearly instantly in good light. C-AF is very accurate with my X-T3 (haven't tried other bodies). No Chromatic aberration visible in any image so far Good build quality, and fairly lightweight for the size. Excellent hood that attaches and detaches easily. Smooth control rings. Bokeh: Most of the time the background is pleasing. Sometimes it has cat's eye bokeh. Has some onion rings at times. Photoshop can take care of the distractions. What Fuji should do next time: I wish it had a shorter MFD. It needs a bigger foot on the lens collar. I wish it had a friction setting for the zoom to avoid lens creep.

Pros: Sharpness, focal range, quality, weight and is tropicalized

Cons: The tripod collar is a bit small

Opinion: I've been using it for a month and if necessary I'll update the review. Taken for landscapes, I don't do birdlife, because in the end I discovered that for this kind of photography I like the two extremes. In 70/300 I had the opportunity to try it and I was not satisfied at all so I chose to take the 100/400. This image compression lens gives me insights that I was missing and like. It has a very good build quality and between 100/300 an excellent image quality, at the upper end of the focal range it becomes a bit soft at the edges but nothing dramatic and if you know it composes accordingly. For the kind of photos for which I used it, autofocus and stabilization count for little, I wanted to test them to understand what I had in my hands and I must say that I am very satisfied with them. I imagine that with more performing cameras than the xs-10 it is even faster in tracking but that's fine with me. Coming from another brand in the past I had never dreamed of having a zoom like this for the type of photos I like to take, too heavy and bulky as well as costing an arm and an eye of the forehead. This is not a featherweight compared to the 55/200 but if you don't have to do very long routes it is always with me and the price is also affordable considering the quality of the optics. I also tried it with a 1.4x multiplier borrowed from a friend and I have to say it holds up well.

Pros: Sharpness, colors, contrasts, excellent construction, filter diameter 77mm.

Cons: Tripod bracket too small and not Arca Swiss but solved with excellent plate, smoothness zoom scrolling?. I am a can perplexed photographers not happy with exemplary quality variation unfortunately happens.

Opinion: Arrived two hours ago for testing. Excellent impression construction, still Made in Japan, sharpness, colors, contrasts, bokeh does not seem bad at all. Measuring 21cm so 10cm shorter than the 150-600 which for me is unacceptable as a construction length, Fuji 100-400 fits in a backpack without problems. Lens hood I would say acceptable and I find it even better than the 50-140. AF accurate, but I don't do birdlife so I don't know, or read qualitative variation 100-400 specimens?. Zoom lock button and stabilizer button present. 77mm filter diameter means heavier glass than the classic 67mm, but a larger diameter I find better less vignetting etc. Cons: Tripod bracket too small and not Arca Swiss but solved with excellent small plate. I have to say I like this zoom I don't present that annoying internal noise optical group that moves, I see it more suitable for extreme landscape photography for birdlife the 150-600 zoom perhaps more suitable, longer focal length and different construction moves inside with recent AF. Tested with TC 1.4/2.0 I must say satisfactory with the TC 1.4 it becomes 560mm f8.0, with the TC 2.0 it becomes focal length 800mm at f11 closing one stop improves not impossible but you really need excellent light otherwise I see such a combination difficult. Maybe focal length 100-400 I would have preferred 50-400mm as the Tamron 50-400. Cons: Unfortunately I find zoom scrolling smoothness does not improve with time or maybe even gets worse, too hard especially from focal length 300mm to 400mm. Personal Note: The Fuji 100-400 zoom is low light with low light the AF slows down considerably I don't see it ideal for bird photography, but maybe for static objects you example photography in a zoo, safari also ideal. In the end bought I really like this optic.

Pros: Dimensions

Cons: AF, IQ, price, tripod bracket

Opinion: What can I say, the first telephoto I bought at Fujifilm, a disappointment on all fronts. IQ not up to par (maybe because for all the other focal lengths I use fixed lenses, but I didn't like it at all, even compared to other telephoto zooms from Fujifilm and other systems). Sloth AF, despite the LMs, could not hook (let alone follow) even subjects that were not so dynamic. Decidedly high price. Ridiculous tripod bracket, so small that it is barely grippable, with a single thread prevents you from tightening a plate without it rotating, it is not arca swiss (I will never understand why some insist on making brackets without arca swiss profile). The only real positive note is the size, in relation to the equivalent focal range.

Pros: Sharpness and image quality

Cons: Maybe the collar, but just to say something

Opinion: I have been using this telephoto zoom for a long time that I take to the mountains because of the small bulk in my backpack; the AF depends mainly on the Fuji camera bodies (WHICH is well known DO NOT shine in this) but the image quality and sharpness are really out of any criticism with a slight decrease in sharpness at maximum focal length. I have photographed chamois, ibex, squirrels and birdlife always with an excellent quality/price ratio. Too bad that Fuji bodies, despite having a high sensor quality, sin in AF because otherwise with this lens you could always take action photos at the TOP even if with a little technique and luck everything is possible
