Fujifilm's go-anywhere super telephoto is an excellent performer with a deluxe but fair price
It's the only telephoto available for the Fujifilm XF system so it's a good thing this is an excellent lens. I have directly compared this to the Sony 200-600mm and, despite the obvious autofocus advantages in the Sony, the printed images are more often indistinguishable. To my mind it's slightly behind image quality in the Nikon 200-500mm and Sony 100-400mm GM but equal to the Sony 200-600mm and Sigma 150-600mm telephotos. What that means is that you will not be disappointed in the image quality. The autofocus was actually quite excellent on the XT3, XPro3, and the XT30. If you are using an older generation, you might find a drop in hit rates on the XT2 generation sensors / AF systems. This is a decent value zoom when bought used, and a little pricey for an APS-C telephoto zoom brand new. All that being said, it does the job and it finds its way into my backpack due to its weight and size more often that my Sony 200-600mm for opportunity birding.
