DPRTV: Fujinon XF200mm The Great White Sharp Shot on GFX100
DPRTV created a short film about the Fujinon XF 200mm F2 R LM OIS WR while attending Fujikina in Japan using a pre-production Fujifilm GFX100. This is our first look at a video created with the GFX100 for those considering creating similar work. Below are excerpts from the quick look:
- This is a heavy lens at almost 5lbs which is similar to a 300mm f/2.8
- Custom focusing buttons and nice controls
- Good IBIS they can do about 1/15th
- Arca Swiss plate cut out of the foot
- High price point at just under $6,000
- Awesome optical performance
- Hard to say anything negative about optical performance
- Even with the supplied 1.4x teleconverter, it is very sharp
- Nice bokeh fall off
- Can be a beautiful portrait lens
- Very well corrected lens
- Great for action and wildlife
- At home on Fujifilm X-T3
- Very fast focusing
- Min focus distance just under 2m
- Manual focusing for stills isn’t great because it is a very long turn
- Great lens for video and stability, but the focus ring is unusable for video
- Reminds them of the quality of the XF8-16mm
- Very comparable to Canon and Nikon 300mm f/2.8, which are great lenses
