This is a pretty sick little combination here. It rained pretty well today, so I just fired off a few shots close to the house.

Some of these I just liked these Vibrant colors, so I took pictures of them with the lens.

Don't ask me what she got on her face, I have no idea what she got herself into. 😄

How quick was the AF? Did it affect the camera's overall performance at all? I ask because I tried the fringer adapter with the 300 pf, and also the 80-400 G lens, on my X-T3 and had poor results. The AF hunted a lot, and it somehow affected the camera performance; e.g., reviewing images took 2 seconds just to get the LCD to respond, and navigating the menu was also significantly delayed. I checked contacts, and everything was updated, so not sure if I just had a bad copy of the adapter? I had to return it and haven't tried again.
