First shots with my *new* used XF 100-400mm
18

Yesterday i picked up a copy of a used XF 100-400mm lens at my local store. They had it on sale with an extra 10% discount. It looks like it's hardly used and comes with a 1 year waranty so i took the risk.

I was loocking at the 150-600mm but at a 900€ cheaper price this was a steel.

I took a few test shots with and without the 1.4 TC and i'm happy with the results.

Just need some more practice to get my keeper rate up.

Great Tit . PP in C1

Blue Tit. PP in C1 and Topaz sharpen

PP in C1 and Topaz sharpen

Female great Spotted Woodpecker. TC1.4 and PP in C1 and Topaz sharpen

She almost took me by surprise. I didn't see her comming because i was "shimping" my photos on my camera.

Thanks for watching.

Philip

Excellent woodpecker shot, the ones that come to my feeders are always 180 degrees from my lens (ie behind the feeder) so all I get is the occasional head shot

Thanks Morris.

I use your settings for the XT3.

It's a big help.

Cheers,

Philip

OP, it took me a short time to start getting more keepers with this lens. Honestly, I thought my used copy had issues, but time has proven I wasn’t dialing in the right ISO/shutter speed for whatever light conditions and subject movement that challenged me.

The weather was heavely overcast so i was trying to keep the ISO down and the SS up. But with the right conditions i think this lens is fantastic.
