Yep, Fujifilm lost a sale today. So did B&H.

I just (pre)ordered a Tamron 18-300 from Adorama. They had the XE4 in stock long before B&H back when I purchased, and now they’re at least collecting orders for the Tamron while B&H is not. And, I’ve grown to dislike B&H’s policy of charging my credit card when a pre-order is placed, rather than when it ships.

I’ve seen enough reviews for the Tamron to give it a go. It fills a unique niche and will allow me two travel with a two-lens solution when wildlife is likely to be a subject. Otherwise, I’m happy to travel with the 18-135 which is what I consider the minimum to cover landscapes. I pack the 10-24 as a wide angle complement to both.

I considered adding the Fujifilm 70-300, though I was dreading the extra weight of a third lens and having to switch to a larger bag. The Tamron let’s me stay in my Think Tank Mirrorless Mover 25. Tamron saw the gap that Fujifilm left open.
