Ooh that final image is just exquisite. The whole set is great but the last one is chef’s kiss.

Great advertisement for the lens.

When the lens was announced, I was curious but always thought I would want a faster telephoto prime. Then I started seeing some of your images here and decided to try renting one from the Fujifilm loan program in the UK.

Well, after just 48 hours with it, I was convinced. I took the lens to Richmond Park in London and was amazed by the handling, size/weight, and, most importantly, the image quality.

The UK Fuji loan service is exemplary. I have used it for lenses and bodies and on occasions ended up buying the product.

Richmond Park is an excellent location for deer. We go there quite a lot.

One seldom sees this type of scene in the UK. Another excellent and, if I may say, unique image.



Like this one too.
