The Fujifilm X-Pro 2 is Preferable For Macro Work?

I never thought of the Fujifilm X-Pro 2 as a great Macro camera until reading discreet photons article about its advantages  and seeing his results with a third party lens. I now feel there is a good argument for using the X-Pro2 over a Fujifilm X-T2 for macro work because you do not need to move your supporting hand to make adjustments, which adds stability.

Fujifilm XT-2 and The Fujinon XF100-400mm

By Louis Ferreira | Published: September 3, 2016

Peter Delany made a pretty definitive statement about a great piece of Fujinon glass that I think is worth sharing.

“I Will Say It Again
“Best Wildlife Combination For Wildlife Photography
FujiFilm XT-2 And The Fujinon XF100-400mm”
I Have Ever Used”

This very much mirrors my own perspective on this amazing lens. The Fujinon XF100-400mm has no peers at this time and I hope to test it again on my Fujifilm X-T2 in the future. I never enjoyed telephoto photography before testing this lens and it’s one of the few lenses I miss, but can’t justify owning. If you’re a fan of wild life photography you should check out the rest of Peter Delany’s post about this great piece of glass here.
