Fujifilm XF 70-300mm F4-5.6 R LM OIS WR Zoom

Sports and wildlife users will be jumping for joy over the announcement of this addition to the XF lineup. The Fujifilm XF 70-300mm f4-5.6 R LM OIS WR lens provides a long-reaching 107-457mm equivalent zoom range, so you can get up close and personal with subjects that are seemingly too far out of reach. This lens achieves this long zoom despite being compact and lightweight - it is comfortable to use for long periods, and you won't feel tempted to leave it behind when packing your camera bag for the next hiking trip.

Lenses that provide such a long zoom range traditionally require the help of a tripod, if users want to stop their images from being blurry and lacking clarity. This is not the case with the Fujifilm XF70-300mm lens, thanks to its including an Optical Image Stabiliser - this system provides 5.5 stops of stabilisation. A linear AF motor is also included, which focuses quickly and quietly - this is particularly handy when using the lens to frame fast-paced subjects, such as wildlife or athletes.

Despite its lightweight qualities, this Fujifilm lens has been made to a high standard, both physically and optically. Physically, this lens is rugged and reliable, with its weather-resistant qualities allowing it to be used confidently out in the field. In terms of optics, Fuji has included an aspherical element and two extra-low dispersion elements in the design, both of which enhance the sharpness and clarity of recorded images, and reduces the appearance of distortions, aberrations etc.
