Product Overview

Fujifilm XF 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR is a super telephoto zoom lens for Fujifilm X-mount. It covers the APS-C image circle. Introduced by Fujifilm in 2016, it has 21 elements in 14 groups.
Like most zoom lenses, the Fujifilm XF 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR is externally-zooming. Fortunately, Fujifilm has provided a zoom lock that at least stops zoom creep. For incremental weathers, Fujifilm is kind enough to include weather sealing. On the lens barrel, one can find a physical aperture ring. Those who wish to focus manually can have the best of both worlds (with the usual caveats).
As a super telephoto zoom lens, the Fujifilm XF 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR can be quite useful for wild-life and landscape photography. Built-in image stabilization is almost a must-have at this focal range, and this lens does not disappoint on this front. Owners will also like the available tripod collar.
