Fujinon XF 200mm F2 OIS - worth it?

I got it when Fujifilm offered a 2000EUR cashback on the lens 1.5 years ago. Looking at alternative FOV options for FF it felt like a good deal. My 2 cts:

+ It's pretty spectacular, optically (see all reviews)

+ It's more versatile than one might expect. You can apply it for sports, wildlife, portraits, pets, landscapes etc.. But it's actually also really great for capturing smaller elements (with a caveat though)

+ The included 1,4 TC is pretty great - there's no loss of IQ honestly

- Big, heavy, though I think it's not so bad personally

- Shortest focus distance is a bit far with 1,7m, I need to get extension tubes to make it more useful for larger insects

- Distance to subject for portraits (which can be a plus if you are looking for unsuspected subjects)

In summary: if you are willing to bring it along, it will do great anywhere you use it. Also best to combine with X-H2s.

Check those flies around the mouth...

As close as you'll get

As close as you'll get pt 2

Renders colours amazingly

Foreground bokeh is OK

Tight portraits are pretty great

Background bokeh - subjectively not the best but there's a certain character to 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???
