Loved the pictures. I was planning on getting this lens when it goes on sale, but with how things are going I wouldn't be surprised if it goes up in price. 😄
Thank you for watching! You should definitely rent it and give it a try. It is not perfect but it is honestly more than enough to produce quality pictures!
Personnellement j’utilise très peu la plage 50-70mm et le 16-55 est suffisant. Ca dépend vraiment du kit que tu as. Le 55-200 eat pas mal non plus mais je pense que le 70-300 est un meilleur investissement
I enjoyed this one. I’m debating between this and the 50-140 now, but leaning to the 70-300. So far I have the 16-55 f/2.8, 35 f/1.4, and the 10-24 f/4 II. The concern is the lack of focal lengths between 55 and 70.
Awesome video, agree with all you stated. It's an amazing and useful lens. Just curious if you noticed that when zooming in video, it loses focus until you stop zooming? It happens to mine in all ranges. So when recording a video, I have to avoid changing the zoom... Same with my fuji 16-80 f/4. I didn't experience this back with my older sony zooms, even the kit zoom.
It is pretty much the same behavior, you loose focus when you change focal length, especially at the long end. Not a big deal for me as I tend not to zoom/unzoom when recording but it can happen
After using this lens for over three months on the X-T4 I'm extremely satisfied with it's performance, I've been considering getting the 1.4 teleconverter but I have some doubts, you mentioned sacrificing auto focus and light, I'm not very concerned about the low light issue since I shoot mostly between f/5.6 and f/8 but I am concerned about an auto focus issue, I would appreciate it if you could elaborate a little more on the subject. Be well and stay safe.
Sure. When using a teleconverter, because you are losing light transmitter to the sensor, the auto-focus mechanism will have less information to work with, which could make it hunt a bit more.
Great honest and concise video and like the outdoor setting. This is a great lens. I have the 16 1.4 (debating on replacing with the 18 1.4) and the 33 1.4. Great combo and the 70-300 compliments nicely to grab some detail shots.
Does your lens make noise when you pan it? Mine does and I find it rather loud. The sound is picked up by my camera making video's with the raw sound unusable.
I don’t use film simulation. All the pictures you see are edited in Capture One. However I usually start from a Classic Chrome or a Provia profile to edit
For travel Yes For wedding, I am not sure because you might lack light in some situations, I would go for something like the 90mmf2 or the 50-140 for this kind of event
Do you enjoy this type of content outside? Have you used or plan on using the XF70-300mm?
This was a great video man - and yes, I've been thinking of getting this lens instead of the 100-400 which is just a little too big for me!

J'hésite bcp entre lui et le 55 200, il est quand même plus lumineux et 70mm pour commencer c'est quand même serré. Je ne parviens pas à me décider 😅

The image of the swan is insane
I'm getting XT5 at the beginning of summer and your video made me choose 70-300 as my first lens, thank you ^^
Great review! May I ask where is the specific place you took the swan photo? Thanks~
Thanks for the video, Thierry! Fuji just released new firmware for this lens...would love your thoughts on the update! Cheers!
I haven’t updated my lens yet but I will try to!
It’s been back ordered for over 6 months in the US, I placed order over a month and still waiting for it.
Must be a great seller lens.
I hope you get it soon
Hang in there, it will come :) I ordered mine in October 2021, and got it last month. It's worth the wait.
Excellent review, short and informative. Thank you!

I use the 1.4x and yes indeed, autofocus is less than ideal.
@@davidsuurland3146 Thank you.
@@ThierryGibralta Thank you.

Great honest and concise video and like the outdoor setting. This is a great lens. I have the 16 1.4 (debating on replacing with the 18 1.4) and the 33 1.4. Great combo and the 70-300 compliments nicely to grab some detail shots.
Thank you for watching. I personally replaced my 16 with the 18, no regret there. I made a video about it if you want to check it on the channel
I checked it the video. Confirms my feelings on wanting to get the 18 1.4. Hoping to do so in the upcoming weeks. Thanks again for the info!
No problem! Cheers
@@ThierryGibralta very different focal length 16 and 18...
Yes…. I also talked about that in the video
Great video! Really love your content!
Thank you for watching
Hi Thierry, how does this lense fit into the Peak 3l bag, thogether with another 1.4 lense (the 33 or 23 lm)?
Are you talking about the Sling bag?
With a camera as well it might definitely be a bit tough to fit them all
@@ThierryGibralta Yes, the sling bag; thank you for the reply!
Is there some way to lock the aperture in that lens or similar like the 10-24 mark I?
No, the only thing you can lock is the zoom ring when at minimum focal length
hi Thierry do you have some video footage shooted with the lens?
You can check the latest video I made about how I use the 70-300. I show some videos taken with this lens
Does your lens make noise when you pan it? Mine does and I find it rather loud. The sound is picked up by my camera making video's with the raw sound unusable.
I do not have that noise when panning the lens.
What kind of film simulation you are using? Could you tell us more on your settings, thanks
I don’t use film simulation. All the pictures you see are edited in Capture One. However I usually start from a Classic Chrome or a Provia profile to edit
I have other videos where I share my edits. Feel free to check them out!
Great review!
Thank you for watching!
Is this good for filming concerts ? Thank you
If you are ok to crank up your ISO it should do fine
@@ThierryGibralta merci Thierry ! J'imagine que si cela ne détériore pas trop l'image...pourquoi pas !
Very nice to explain.
Give me one suggestion can I invest this lens for travel & wedding photography (portrait ,pre wedding & candid etc )?
For travel Yes
For wedding, I am not sure because you might lack light in some situations, I would go for something like the 90mmf2 or the 50-140 for this kind of event
