I did it!

I put in my pre-order today for the Fuji XF 100-400.  I live in the Black Hills of South Dakota, surrounded by wildlife of all kind.  I do a lot of shooting with two friends who are both Nikon shooters (I was for 40 years) and they have great long lenses - one has the Nikon 400 and Nikon 600 and the other has the recent Tamron 150-600.    I sold all my Nikon stuff last year and have missed the long reach, but now I am going to be out in the field again with the bison, antelope, deer, prairie dogs, waterfowl and herons that live here in the beautiful Black Hills.

Show us the fruits as soon as you can!

Congratulations! I've pre-ordered one too, but here I mostly get to use it with birds and alligators. It sounds a lot more interesting there.

You really need to say that and make us all Soooo Jealous  I must wait before I pop for the 100-400.  Timing was really bad - it was announced right after popping for a 27" iMac for my Post Processing.  I can't complain and don't regret it - the iMac is marvelous, but the 100-400 is likely going to require a good tax return or something magical.  

 

I know Patience, Patience, Patience!  I  will be seeing what can be sold and saving my pennies!

Nick05 - I got to chase my first egrets and alligators a year ago on a trip to Louisiana. That was a whole lot of fun. And NOLA was a photographer's heaven. But I can't wait to put this long zoom to use - anywhere!

Yeah, this lens is due to be released right at the beginning of Egret nesting season. It should be fun. I've had to use either the 55-200 or my 6D with the 70-200 in the past.

 

I'm also hoping to get back to Colorado this year and maybe Yellowstone so I'm really looking forward to it. May also have to take it to the coast a few times and the zoo.
