600mm

[Warren]

Hi, 

I need to go to 600mm for a trip coming up. I use a XT-4. Options? 1.4x on the 100-400? 2x on the 200? or ??

Thanks, 

Warren

You can also get a 150 - 600mm “other party” lens and use an adapter. Tamron and Sigma make some good lens in this zoom range, of course there are others. These all come as either Canon or Nikon mounted lenses, so you will need an adapter. These can be low cost mechanical types (no af, etc,) or full electronic adapters that allow you to get the EXIF data from the lens as well as control various things such as aperture or auto focus.

There are rumors these types of lenses will soon be released as native x-mount lenses, but that may take a while.

The Fujifilm 100 - 400mm with the 1.4x extender is a pretty good option. The 200mm with 2x extender gives you only two focal length options, which might cramp you a bit unless you have some other lens to go along with it.
