Long Primes

[Jake Hall]

Hi everyone, first time poster here.

 

I'm an amateur landscape & wildlife photographer and have been shooting fuji for a year or two now and absolutely loving the experience. So far my 55-200 has served me well but the sad reality is that it just isn't long enough for most wildlife shots. I'm considering saving up for the 100-400 but am slightly concerned about reports of softening at the long end. I would almost certainly be using it at 300-400 for 99% of my shots so i'm curious about the likelihood of Fuji releasing any longer primes. A 300 2.8 would probably be too big for me as I do more walking around than sitting and waiting. A 300 f4 or 400 f5.6 would definitely grab my attention, especially if it worked well with TC's and incoming X-T2. 

 

I'm pretty happy with my 55-200 for now so I'm not in a rush, just interested in whether or not i'll maybe have more than one choice in near the future!

Welcome,

 

I don't own the 100-400 but nobody I know that owns it has any complaints

 

there are plenty of examples on this forum of the photo  quality (or just search on flickr)

Personally I would love to see 200mm or 300mm prime lens, preferably with a max aperture of f4 to keep it as light as possible!

 

Take a look at the Nikon 300mm f4 PF lens as an example of what is possible, I'm absolutely sure Fuji could do it!
