Product Overview

Fujifilm XF70-300mmF4-5.6 R LM OIS WR is a compact telephoto zoom lens for Fuji's APS-C X-mount system. It offers a 35mm full-frame equivalent of 107 to 457mm while measuring just over 5 inches long and 580g light.
The XF70-300mmF4-5.6 offers decent magnification while offering the compression that only a super telephoto lens is able to. It further features 5.5-stops of optical image stabilization.
Combined with Fujifilm's XF2X TC WR 2x range extender, the XF70-300mmF4-5.6 is able to offer over 900mm of full-frame equivalent reach. With fast AF as well as dust and moisture resistance in such a lightweight package, the XF70-300mmF4-5.6 is a great option for not only sports and nature photography but also general photography and nature photography.

Fujifilm has ticked all the right boxes with its Fujinon XF 70-300mm F4-5.6 R LM OIS WR. It covers a focal range that's absolutely useful for photographers interested in wildlife and outdoor sports. Over the full range the lens can lock on as close as 2.7 feet (0.8m), good enough for 1:3 macro.
Pros
  • Excellent build quality
  • Compatible with XF teleconverters
  • Dust and splash protection
Cons
  • No anti-smudge fluorine
  • Small iris
