Over the weekend I did some birding with the Fujinon XF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR + XF1.4X TC WR and I was impressed. I have decided to setup an album on 500px to share my photos as I prepare them for the review. I will be shooting with the combo again this weekend at the Zoo and Renaissance Fair so follow me if you want to see the bulk of my test photos. Read More

I found a few lens comparison videos worth sharing while working on my Fujifilm XF 100-400 f/4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR + XF 1.4x TC WR review.
Fujifilm XF 56mm f/1.2 R vs. XF 90mm f/2 R LM WR
The current sales prices from Fuji are very compelling, but I have a strategy for those of you that want to pick up some gear for just a little less. If you’re patient and very good at shopping around you can actually save up to 60% on your purchase if you do not mind buying used. Many Amazon sellers are motivated to sell and since their equipment is listed along side the equipment that is on sale it is easier to negotiate more favorable pricing during sales events like the current one. So far I have purchased 3 lenses between 40-60% off retail price in like new condition from resellers with excellent ratings using this strategy. Good luck and feel free to share any strategies you’re using with the rest of us in the comments.
