You should send them back this lens : the refurb lens does not fit to the description in the contract.

it's good enough for A4 print, but not more. I am not surprised by these results . You canno't expect more with such a combo. Even my 300 2, 8 LIS and TC 2 combo (600 mm F5,6) is not that good. I ...

With very small lenses, yes it will make a difference in favor of the XT30. With heavier and bigger lenses, I will favor the XT3 with the grip (16-55 , 50-140, 100-400 , 80 macro ...)

For me 4 is the winner, next, 1 , 3 and 2. It's close between 4 and 1, but I find that 3 and 2 are "washed"

Just made a quick comparison between the Two using the 80 macro lens in Full AF range mode. Albeit not perfect, the XT3 is way superior than the XT2

The 55-200 is a nice travel lens. It's sharp (not as good as the 50-140 , but it's perfect for A3 print) , light, and fast enough (F3,5 F4,8) . BTW the AF is not as good as the 50-140, and perhaps ...

It depends on the lenses. True parfocal lenses exist in the Fuji line, it's Cine lenses. The parfocal thing, combined to the smooth manual focusing, is the major difference between the normal and ...

There is no difference in term of details, but the enhanced picture has less noise, and less wormy effect. The picture is more natural.

I presume you used, the 100-400 with the TC 1,4 ?

The second pic is sharper , but does it proove anything ?

Thanks for sharing. You demonstrated, that you can shoot BIF with a the 100-400 TC 1,4 combo. The problem is that I don't see any interest in term of reach, of using the combo instead the TC 1,4 ...

Thanks for sharing : great shots. Did you have a lot of misses ? Is the AF very fast, how the AF compares with others lenses ? (I am considering buying this lens for summer vacation)

Yes, it make sense. When you shot building , you can't always step back to have the right frame. A super wide angle zoom is a great plus. The 10-24 stopped down at F5,6 is very sharp.

Yes the main advanantage of the XT3 is AF speed . In your case, the XH1 seems to be the better choice

Hard question, especially if you only own , one of the two brand. If you like to shot like the old days, with many dials , the ergonomy of the Fuji is fine and fun. If you love to dig into the ...

Yes the F2,8 lens has the better motor, but there was no difference in term of sensitivity . Fabien Bermal a blogger tried the Fuji 200 combo and did not noticed any difference in term of AF with ...

I have tested in very dim light the 35 1,4 against the 16-55 F2.8 on both my XT3 and XT2 and the winner is the 16-55 . 2,8 is not a problem for AF even in low light. F8 (the TC 1,4 100-400 combo, ...

The XT2 has focusing issues with wide angle lenses. This is one of the big improvement of the XT3 (several people reported that) A relatively fast aperture wide angle lens like the 23 mm  F2 is not ...

It doesn't mess for AF (it's a mirorless camera), and with the TC it's as good as the 50 mm F2 ... That's said, I will prefer a 500 F5,6 of high quality

You were unlucky with a bad copy. A good copy is from review I have read, better than the 10-24, but as you said, the 8-16 is heavy bulky, expansive , it's WR, wider, have a faster aperture, but ...
