- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2021
- In this video we compare the AF performance and image quality of the Fuji 100-400mm lens against the Canon 100-400mm Mk1 lens on a Fringer Pro ll adapter.
Will the Canon lens perform as well as the native Fuji lens.
The Fuji 100-400mm is on my X-T3 and the Canon lens is on my X-S10 with a Fringer Pro ll adapter and I am testing them in a real world wildlife situation at Tom Way Photography's Fox Hide.

Superb video! Not too many folks trying these fun comparisons while showing us the EVF live view.
Great review. Some awesome images as well.
Thanks for this. I've just moved over to Fuji and have a Canon 100-400 I was planning on selling. Looks like I'll be keeping it after all.
Thank for the review.
Nice comparison video. Both images (lenses) looked great. 👍👍
I did own the canon 100-400 years ago, I sold it and got a tamron 150-600 for my full frame canon. I then started using a canon 7DII instead. I moved to the Fuji system for a lighter set up. I purchased the Fuji 100-400 and love it. I still have my canon full frame and a few nice canon lenses so I'm considering getting the fringer mark two so that I can use those lenses. I like both brands but mainly use the canon these days for portraits only. The Fuji XT3 with five lenses in total is my go to camera, love it
Exactly my situation. I already got the canon100-400. Thanks for comparison
The Tracking Focus on the fuji even the XH2s is really way behind the competition. I have used the Fringer with the XT$ and XH2s with Nikon 500 pf f5.6 and 300 f4 pf and they work as well as the fuji 100-400. But stay away from the AF-C tracking and subject detection except with the subject fills more than 60% of the frame. The eye detection on animals and birds is erratic en not reliable. I use zone again if it covers the subject or different size boxes. The Animal subject detection in my view is better than birds especially smaller birds if they only fill small part of the frame. I have shot these two camera's with the 100-400 fuji and the Nikon Pf lenses extensively and tested all kinds of focus settings as the fuji system is "complicated and some setting unreliable, but if you understand the limitations and the strength it produces fantastic results. I love fuji it is a fun system, produce great results but have its issues, that makes it fun. I got bored with Sony as it is a really sterile experience. I also use Nikon for many years and the Z9 is amazing fast and make up for the instances where Fuji struggle. Shooting them side by side is great fun with great results
Thanks for the video. I primarily use a 5DIV body for wildlife with a 600mm f4L lens, but I also use the 100-400L (mine is Version 2). I bought a Fuji X-T3 to use as a walkabout system for family outings and the like, and I also bought the Fringer adaptor. The plan for the Fringer was to have two systems on the go when I photograph wildlife - the 5DIV with the 600mm as my main rig, and the X-T3 with the Canon 100-400mm-plus Fringer for closer subjects. Unfortunately, I have an issue with the Fringer - I can shoot for a few minutes with it, but then it randomly starts hunting back and forth before locking up completely and I can't do anything with it. The only thing I can do is remove the battery from my camera, and start over until it happens again. I have updated the Fringer firmware but that didn't help. It's disappointing really - I've never had an issue with my other Canon lenses on the Fringer, only the 100-400mm. I am going to have another go with it, but with stabilisation turned off to see if that is the problem - but really it's not an ideal solution.
Hi thank you for your comment, it sounds like you have a faulty adapter as I have used the Mk2 version of the 100-400mm on my X-T3 and Fringer with no issues. But you could also try cleaning the lens & adapter contacts as I have had that issue with Fuji glass and that cured that.
@@GrandadsReviews Cheers David. I'll clean the contacts again to see if that works. It might be the lens contacts - I know I cleaned the Fringer contacts but can't remember if I did the lens! If it works, then that would explain why the Fringer works perfectly with my other Canon lenses :-)
Hi thanks for sharing! Just a quick question.. does the adapter has a locking issue? I heard when you attached it the adapter doesn’t have a full stop and you can still rotate it 360 degrees?
Thanks
I read the same thing but no such issue with mine so they may have been a faulty one's
@@GrandadsReviews yayyy! Thanks! Stay safe!
Nice video. Do you know if IBIS works on the XT3/30 with this adapter? From what I can see on their website looks like its only for select camera like XT4.
Thank you for your comment. The X-T3/X-T30 do not have IBIS if you mean in lens stabilization like IS for Canon then yes that still works and actually works very well, on the X-T4 and X-S10 which have IBIS this also works with this adapter.
@@GrandadsReviews Thanks for your reply! Ah for some reason I thought the XT30 had in body stabilisation, thanks for the correction. I think I will go ahead and order the Fringer adapter and treat myself to a new lens.
hey, really awesome content, can you per chance also test the xt30 with both lenses? would be curious to see how that camera would handle.
cheers, keep up the good work!
Hi thank you for your comment i'm not sure I will get time to test both lenses on the X-T30 as the Fuji 100-400mm has to go back to Fuji soon and my friend with the Canon 100-400mm is still using it but I would imagine the X-T30 would perform just as well as it has the same sensor and processor as the other cameras just the auto focus has not been updated recently but that shouldn't make too much of a difference. But if I do get a chance to try them on the X-T30 I will do.
Do you have a video of what your AF settings are for shooting wildlife with the Fuji? I have an XT4 and having some trouble
Hi I don’t as yet have a video on my settings as each situation requires different settings but I am looking into doing a number of af videos covering these different situations.
here´s a good one: ruclips.net/video/5L8Jr0R5wmE/видео.html
Great comparison, I wonder how the mk2 fares in image quality, people boast about compared to the mk1
Thank you for your comment, I have used the mk2 version and too be honest I couldn’t see any real difference in the image quality the af seemed slightly snappier but that was about all.
Two questions... 1) Is the adapter weather resistant? 2) With the adapter and Canon on, do you still get a FF equivalent length of 150-600mm as with the Fuji lens?
The adapter is not weather resistant but I’ve not had any issue with it when photographing in the rain, and yes the focal length remains the same FF equivalent the only time that would change us if you use a speed booster.
Hi David, would you recommend buying this to replace my Viltrox adaptrr and buy a bunch of Canon lenses? I own the 50mm f1.8, Sigma 70-300 dg, 18-55 kit lens, Tamron 17-50 canon lenses already.
Hi yes I would highly recommend you purchase the Fringer Pro ll adapter and stick to canon lenses see my video here about that ruclips.net/video/GhBROgrcPbM/видео.html
@@GrandadsReviews thanks again for the quick response, a shame it's so much more expensive than the Viltrox as the Viltrox is almost there with its functioning.
@@souldigital8148 I would look for a secondhand one I got mine of eBay for £100 in mint condition
Indeed, a former Canon shooter (35 years) who made the switch in 2017, selling off ALL or trading of my Canon gear...At the time, there was no Fringer adapter, had there been, I might have kept some of my ‘L’ glass.
I have been looking at the Fujinon 100-400 over the past year, as more of my assignments involve fast-paced subjects. My 50-140mm, is stunningly fast, even with a 1.4x or even on rare situations, a 2x converters, still a native 100-400 range glass is preferred. So, what was your hit/miss rate with this test? I am debating whether to get the Fuji 100-400 or wait until the 150-600 is officially released. That said, if the 150-600 is over $3k and I suspect it will be, then it will be the 100-400mm.
The Fuji 100-400mm had a very good hit rate only poor lighting and lack of contrast in the subject caused any problems I would highly recommend the Fuji 100-400mm, the trouble with waiting for the 150-600mm is even if it’s not overpriced availability will be the biggest problem
@@GrandadsReviews Good point about the 150-600, I am still waiting for a few items to be delivered after 2-3 months. I might pick up the 100-200, as a stopgap rent the 150-600 when it becomes available, and go from there.
5:00 Is that tracking on your X-S10? Because my Fuji X-T3 doesn't have the tracking option you selected there. But while I've stayed up-to-date with the firmware versions, I've not read an updated manual and still have the 2018 one that doesn't say anything about tracking.
The X-T3 has the same tracking feature as the X-S10 it’s part of the wide/tracking when in focus mode S it’s the wide mode but when you are in C focus mode it’s in the tracking mode.
@@GrandadsReviews I looked up some tutorials on this. It absolutely blows my mind that this has completely flown off my radar. I've always thought it to be a major missing feature from my X-T3. Now I might finally be able to do some shots I wasn't able to do before.
Fuji colours and contrast are way better ,sharpness look very similar but I never buy Canon for Fuji body...Simply images from Fuji lens looks more rich...
I’d love to buy just Fuji lenses but buying used canon is way cheaper with very similar results.
Version 2 of the Canon 100-400L is much sharper than the original and the stabilization is also much improved. It looks like you were shooting with the version 1 Canon.
Yes I have the version 1 but have tried version 2 and it does appear slightly better than the mk1 but a lot dearer.
Hie between 50 to 140 mm and 55 to 200 mm which one has a better bokeh
I would say the 50-140 would have a more pleasant bokeh but I cannot confirm that as I don't have both to compare.
@@GrandadsReviews I think he's referring to the Fuji 50-140mm and the Fuji 55-200mm
@@jimmason8502 you are correct I re read the question must have been in a hurry the first time.
I shoot both Fujifilm and Canon and I have experience with both of these lens. Something you didn’t talk about in your comparison is the look of the background. I shoot Elk and other wildlife in the Smoky Mountains. To my eyes the Fujifilm 100-400mm give somewhat of a swirling effect to the out of focus Area while the Canon 100-400 has a nice even blurred background.
I owned the Canon for many years and sold it. I have rented the Fujifilm but I am having trouble deciding on the purchase of the Fujifilm. I might purchase another Canon 100-400 instead.
You are correct about the swirling with the Fujifilm 100-400mm. I've used Canon 100-400 v2, Canon 300mm F2.8, Olympus 300m F4, Nikon 200-500mm, The fujifilm 100-400m has some weird issues. Noticed that 99% of my first continues shot is the best, the others are always blurry or very soft. The Fuji 100-400mm has very slow focus for BIF, I compare it to the Nikon 200-500mm Focus, But the Nikon 200-500mm was sharper. I use the X-T30 and ordered the X-T4, hoping it makes a differents in image quality. (For those people wondering settings, CF. I tried BIF with OIS on and off, and shutter speeds from 1/500 up to 1/2500 and still have same issue of soft images and yes on a tripod and handheld)
@@MrSmashtitan when using the Canon 100-400mm on the Fujifilm camera do you still see the swirling background?
I am trying to figure out if this swirling background is a lens issue or the camera?
@@russellmann8297 Camera, Tested my new X-t4, 10X better , Haven't seen any swirling
two system. you will be broke trying to buy two lenses for each brand name. stay with native lens in each native body. small system vs. heavy system.
Hi I’m not buying two of the same focal length lens Fuji loaned me the 100-400mm for free, weight wise the Fuji 100-400 weighs approximately the same as the Canon lens so no advantage there,the reason I’m getting Canon long glass is because they are cheaper and there are a lot more available secondhand plus L glass is known for its quality. Fuji glass is excellent and on-par if not better in some instances but availability secondhand and the high cost makes them hard to get on a tight budget if I could afford all Fuji glass that’s what I would buy so thought a video series looking at Canon glass as a affordable alternative would be of interest to my viewers.
