Hi All;

I’m looking at the 100-400 XF lens for my XT-4. I already own the 50-140 and may not use the 100-400 a ton, but there is a good instant rebate on it now.

I read on multiple forums and watched a few You Tube videos that indicated that it isn’t very sharp at the long end. What have you heard? How does it compare to my 50-140 XF Zoom?

Thanks!

I struggled with this lens for a long time and eventually sold it. When you are very close the detail and sharpness can be excellent. At a moderate distance it was not so much. After 3 years and several thousand images later, I bought a Nikon 500 PF and a Z7II. Razor sharp and super fun to shoot with. I still love Fuji. The telephoto lenses definitely need some help.
