Fujifilm Fujinon Teleconverter XF1, Have done a couple of theatre shoots where the lighting was not great and this lens combined with the Fuji XT1 produced

I have been pursuing photography for around 8 years and recently switched from sony to fuji x. I have never owned what i would call a pro lens before and i had some trepidation when spending so much on a single camera lens. What a difference a constant f 2. 8 telephoto has made to my photography. Have done a couple of theatre shoots where the lighting was not great and this lens combined with the fuji xt1 produced some amazing images. When taking portrait shots the bokeh and compression this lens gives really makes photos pop. This will take your photography to the next level.

The quality of the construction is superb. It is silent, fast and the image quality is just brilliant. It isn’t light, but there is a lot of glass. It isn’t a cheap lens either, but for the quality it is very good value. My first test shot revealed detailed cobwebs in my neighbours garage gutter i didn’t know were there. It fits nicely on the xt1 but may be a bit unwieldy on a smaller body. I may have to purchase an xt10 to check that theory out.

It took a while before i took the plunge for this lovely piece of glass. 8 afs which is one very lovely lens which delivers stunning sharpness but i have steadily been selling off my nikon stuff to finance my move to fuji. On saturday i used this lens at a wedding and the results were stunning and as good as my nikon with really nice bokeh. It’s a lot of money but the build and results are worth it. On the day i used this, the 16 f1. 4 and the 10-24 and they covered everything.

Beautiful lens , sturdy build quality , a lens i look forward to using in the future.

I own a few amazing xf lenses and needed this one for motorsport photography. The ois works really well and it focusses very fast. Image quality is overall good but i would describe the bokeh as nervous and not as nice as some other fuji glass like the awesome 90mm f2.

I recently got hold of a fuji 50-140mm zoom which is a fantastic lens but not especially long at the top end of the focal range, so it’s a perfect candidate for the 1. I did quite a bit of research beforehand and the 1. 4xtc seems to be almost universally regarded as one of the best (if not the best) tcs made by any manufacturer. It’s literally not been off my 50-140 lens since taking it out of the box. On this lens, it will give you a focal range of 70mm-196mm which is a pretty decent improvement. As the fuji x-t2 i’m using it with is a crop sensor body, that’s about 100mm-300mm in full frame terms. You lose a stop of light with the 1. 4xtc, so my maximum aperture with the 50-140 of f/2. This isn’t really a problem and there’s very little loss in image quality. The extended focal range more than makes up for any small iq loss. It’s made of the same materials as the lenses and is very light, so won’t add much weight to a potentially already heavy lens. The attached image of the moon was taken at 140mm with the 1. 4xtc and then slightly cropped, so effectively about 300mm.

This and the 16-55mm are the best two lenses i’ve ever had. I really don’t need any primes, they are that good.

Sublime

“The best teleconverter ever made”

Amazing glass

Great lens purchased for newly acquired xt-1. 8 aperture throughout enables handheld capture in low light and great bokeh.

Have used on a few jobs now, and has never let me down. Gorgeous photos, beautiful skin tones, great dof bokeh, superb autofocus. Is very big on my x-e2, but doesn’t bother me particularly. X-t1 will be better for it when it arrivescan’t recommend this lens enough.

8 are the only lenses you need for fuji xt2, maybe a fast prime just if you want something light 35 or 23 1.

The best zoom lens i’ve ever owned.
