I’m 100% convinced I would be able to get fantastic images from this camera and lens combo… Chris and Jordan have had a stinker in their review, plain and simple. And all it’s doing is fuelling the Fuji troll train.

I’ve read elsewhere that they admit to not having it set up correctly, is that true?

Yeah possibly Alan, maybe in the video... the sample gallery of the 150-600 is woeful, loads of weird settings by the looks of it too, lowish shutter speeds like 1/200 (which I personally would avoid using at long focal lengths even for still subjects) and narrow apertures when it should have been wide open.

The 150-600mm gallery wasn't shot by Chris and Jordan, or with an X-H2S, so wasn't in any way factored into what they said in their video.

That’s fair enough Richard, and honestly I don’t normally like to criticise anyones photos, in fact generally I despise that kind of thing… but my massive issue here is the feeding frenzy this gallery has induced, and it’s not just on this site either, there are people now all over the rumour site and YouTube etc quoting that article as the status quo for this lens. All because of these early impression images.

It would almost be better if DPreview just didn’t bother posting anything to avoid this kind of nonsense.
