I really like the image quality, size, and weight of my mark II. I never owned the mark I so I can’t help with comparison though it is highly regarded as a great lens. I don’t use mine for video but I will say it doesn’t have the smoothest zoom, which seems to be common complaint for the mark II. For photos it doesn’t bother me but I would imagine would be an issue if zooming while recording video. -
Good day fellow Fuji people I wanted to ask your opinion on the subject of the 16-55mm Mark I vs Mark II. I want to use it mainly for my concert photography where I currently use my 50-140mm and a second camera with a prime lense. I would like to use a second good quality zoom lens thats why I became interested in the 16-55mm. My question is for anyone having experience with both wether the new one (which looks very promising but pricey) or the older one (much heavier but seems to deliver on optical quality and I could get that used for roughly half the price of the new one)? From what I could find online I guess in terms of pure image quality both are going to deliver. So then it would come down to usability, ease of use, maybe video ability, and longevity etc. I use my Fuji X-H2 and Fuji X-S20 currently. If anyone has thoughts I would be highly appreciative. Thank you in advance, Best regards from Switzerland, Mischa -
It'd be a bit of a rigmarole, but maybe enable the function buttons on the lens, focus on infinity (distant tower/tree/mountain/etc), then set that as a focus preset. Use a function button to return to that infinity focus when you have a bird against a clear sky. I have the same problem with my XF 150-600, so far I just put up with it, or zoom out enough to find and focus on the bird, or focus on a distant treetop etc. -

I've wondered the same thing. Years ago I learned that some very long lenses can focus slightly past infinity, for the reasons that temperature and other variables can move the mechanical location of infinity focus around a little bit, and IIRC using IR film can require focusing out further than the position that's best for visible light. I've focused on birds on distant towers, and the autofocus worked for that. Still, I'll be watching this thread for further developments. -

I was hoping to get some info on how to infinity focus the xf 500mm. I’m trying to focus on distant birds in the sky. Is there an infinity mark on the lenses? If so, I can’t find it. If there’s not one, how would one work around this?
