I just rented the 100-400 for an airshow. Unfortunately, it was damaged so they swapped it out for the 150-600. It's a HUGE lens and difficult to handhold, but I do agree with you on the internal zoom. The 100-400 would be just about perfect with that.
Thanks for your thoughts about that lens! I like the size, weight and maximum aperture. AF is really okay, and the price is good, especially at the moment Fuji gives you 400€ Cashback, that is a great deal. Had the Tamron 150-500 before which is so heavy and bulky. Cheers!
Hey Felix, great video and cool photos you were able to capture. I agree with you. I won't miss this lens in my kit - I'm also a nature photographer/filmmaker and often go on long hikes or spend several hours in nature, so a lens with this form factor is perfect - it's such a versatile focal length and pretty fast for this "compact" lens. I guess the 150-600 will get its place in my kit as well for certain scenarios when I need more reach... but I'm thinking about the F/8 - it might be a bit slow in the forest. And yes, you should try the latest FW ;)

Great video, have you updated the firmware on the 100-400? Just came out.
Thanks 🙏🏻 Actually I haven’t yet! Thank you for the reminder
