The Fujinon XF70-300mm f/4-5.6 came out a while ago, and it was a fantastic option for 24MP and 26.2MP cameras based on previous reviews. Optical Limits just released its review of the Fujinon XF70-300mm f/4-5.6 on a 40MP Fujifilm camera, and the results are disappointing. You can read the full review here or check out the excerpts below:

Overall, a decent option for users using a 26 MP camera, less so on 40 MP cameras unless you are willing to compromise.

Pros

  1. Compact
  2. Good build quality
  3. Quite sharp in the low to mid zoom range

Cons

  1. Could be better at 300mm (on 40 MP sensors, at least)
  2. High CAs in RAW image (requires autocorrection)
  3. Poor manual focusing feedback
