Re: Fujinon XF 200mm F2 OIS - worth it?

Yes Polarcherry, I think it is worth it!

I have had this lens since it was introduced. I use it for wildlife and BIF. Of course, I use a longer lens for most of my birding but when I need a really fast lens this 200/2 with and without the dedicated 1,4x TC is a blessing. It is very sharp full open and I see no gain to stop down other than for DOF reasons. The bokeh is creamy and AF-C works well with X-T3/4.

I have not tried it with the 2x TC.  Fuji doesn't recommend this combo, but I have heard it could depend on that the border sharpness isn't that good, but maybe it is good in the center which counts much more for birds. Anyone that have tried this???
