FUJIFILM XF 70-300 vs FUJIFILM XF 100-400, Image quality compared and autofocus compared. In this third episode we look at the incredible Fuji XF 100-400 and it's little brother the Fuji XF 70-300. The Fuji 70-300 is a half a stop faster at f4 vs the Fuji 100-400 which is a f4.5 and the Fuji 100-400 is longer with a max focal length of 400. It's also huge and heavy which the Fuji XF 70-300 is not weighing in at about the same amount as the Fuji XF 55-200. But they have a lot in common! They both WR weather resistant lenses, both have a focus limiting switch, both have barrel lock, and both have OIS. Pretty great for a $800 lens vs a $1900 lens.

Thanks a lot Kirk!!! Very helpful video. I've decided to go for the 70-300. It is sharp, WR, works fine with the TC's, and it weights a lot less than the 100-400 (and it's smaller too).

@KirkWilliamsonphotography 3 года назад

Thanks Juan Carlos! I'm glad I have both. I bought the 100-400 for about half price used and it is beautiful. I'll use that for sports and some landscape applications. The 70-300 will reside in my bag for travel and hiking etc.

@mikec1851 3 года назад

Great reviews on this lens Kirk. I’ve been a Fuji shooter since they released the X-T1 but the longest lens I’ve owned is the 16-55mm f/2.8 Over the past couple of years I’ve developed an interest in aviation photography and to a lesser extent wildlife, however I’ve felt that Fujifilm were lacking an affordable lens that could scratch that itch for me, until now. After watching your reviews I’ve decided the 70-300mm fits me needs perfectly and I’m offloading my rarely used 56mm f/1.2 and old 18-55mm and putting the funds towards the 70-300mm. Can’t wait to see it on my X-S10. It is not so cheap here in Australia , around $1400 AUD. Thanks again Kirk for the great Fuji content.

@KirkWilliamsonphotography 3 года назад

Mike - It will be a sweet setup on the X-S10! For aviation photography it will be excellent.

@nancygreindl2203 3 года назад

Hello from Maine! Thanks so much! I currently own the 100-400 and I have to admit that after shooting a canon 100-400 and a Sony 100-400 I was disappointed in the Fuji version. I did recently get the Fujinon 200m prime which I love, but the weight will prevent me from wanting to use it as a hiking/walking lens. I love shooting wildlife, birds, landscape and I shoot portraits as my profession. I’m considering selling my 100-400 and picking up this lens as a replacement....I’m also now following you on IG!

@KirkWilliamsonphotography 3 года назад

Hi Nancy I was just up your way scouting for my June workshop up there. I used the 70-300 quite a bit. It’s a nice sharp lens. I used to be a hard core Canon guy for about 40 years. I used the 100-400 often and quite frankly found the Fuji version to be on par with the Canon version. For hiking this 70-300 is a great lens. It’s as light as the 55-200 and only marginally larger. Thanks for watching

@NBPT428 3 года назад

I couldn't wait to watch this. I love my 100-400mm but I have not taken the 70-300mm off my X-T3 since I got it (other than to compare to the 100-400 a bit). yesterday i was using the 70-300mm with the 1.4xTC and saw a Cardinal on a branch close by (maybe 25 feet from my deck). I took several shots at 300mm (420mm with the TC/ISO 800/ 1/200 at f8) and I was blown away---tack sharp, great colors. Kurt, I agree with everything you've experienced so far and the weight difference even with the 1.4TC is huge. My only wish so far is that the manual focus ring had a little more resistance like the 100-400mm. Thanks as always!!!

@KirkWilliamsonphotography 3 года назад

Great experience Bill. So far the lens is doing great. I love my 100-400 and it is superb for certain things. But the 70-300 is great as well and good for certain things.

@JamesStevensonPhoto 3 года назад

Thank you for the comparison - good to see! I'd been toying with the 100-400 for a long time but the price, size and weight were all a factor in holding off. I also really like the 55-200 and think this new lens could be the perfect replacement. I have it on rental this weekend, looking forward to shooting! Thank you! Sub'd and looking out for your future videos :)

I’ve ordered the 70-300 and the 1.4x teleconverter though the lens is out of stock at the moment. I love, love, love my 55-200 - it’s crazy sharp - but for birds and wildlife it’s just a bit short and I’m often forced to crop more than I’d prefer. I’m selling it to a friend who is looking for a lightweight all around tele zoom, and it’s perfect for that. Thanks for all of the 70-300 videos, Kirk. They’ve been very valuable in helping me make my decision..

@awake780 3 года назад

I purchased the 70-300 on pre-order and have been blown away by the image quality from the get-go. I was curious to see how it fared against the 100-400 on the long end. Perhaps my eyes were fooling me, but the 70-300 looked slightly sharper at 300 mm as compared to the 100-400. I was also pleased to see the results with the 1.4x TC wide open; stunning really! Thanks for the great video!

Thanks for this review, Kirk. Just sold my beloved 55-200 to KEH, and received my new 70-300 the same day. Looking forward to trying out the new lens this weekend. I could see where the 100-400 would outperform the 70-300 as far as light gathering. But at my age, I prefer lighter lenses.

@kenmcdougall6106 3 года назад

Thanks for this - I've got the 100-400 but to me it looked like the 70-300 had a slight edge with image quality. I think it will be very popular though because the price point is low and the lens is relatively light. Fuji do seem to have an ethos that image quality is king so even when they're using cheaper components, the optical quality is to the same high standard of their more expensive lenses.

@KirkWilliamsonphotography 3 года назад

Ken you are absolutely correct. Just look at their kit lenses the 18-55 and the 16-80. I have no problem using either one of those lenses for pro stuff.

@ryanbell335 3 года назад

I bought the 70-300 with a used 1.4x TC last week, and I'm just as impressed as you are! The 70-300 is half the price, weight and size of the 100-400. So I don't see the extra 100mm to be worth it, unless you're a serious wildlife photographer. I've been really enjoying your reviews, thanks!

@KirkWilliamsonphotography 3 года назад

Ryan - Yes, lenses are tools, you pick the best one for the job at hand. If you don't need a giant heavy zoom for the work you do then there is no reason to own it. Thanks for watching!

I went out with my recently bought 100-400, but it is a drag to carry around. Have an implant in my right arm so I might not be average on this. For stationary shooting it is great but in the field nah not so much. I also thought of trading in my 55-200 but I really love this lens and I might just keep it even if I would own a 70-300. (won't even get half the price at the reseller where I bought it, while it is in mint condition). We'll see. Thanks for sharing your comparison.

@KirkWilliamsonphotography 3 года назад

I now carry the 70-300 instead of the 55-200. I will be selling the 55-200. The 100-400 comes out for sports and wildlife work. They are just different tools for different work.

@2DiscEdition 3 года назад

Hi Kirk, loved this comparison! I just got my 70-300mm and am also very happy with the images, but the lens is quite noisy while on my X-S10… is this normal? My 16-80mm is much more silent. I am a bit concerned cause none of the reviews ever mentioned the very noticable noise that the AF / OIS on this lense seems to make. Might I have gotten a faulty copy? Thanks & greetings from Switzerland :)

@KirkWilliamsonphotography 3 года назад

Mine is not noisy at all. More like my 16-80 but that is on an X-T3 or X-H1.

@subramoniams9850 5 месяцев назад

I own XF100-400 since 2018 and last year when travelling to my home country wanted to have something lighter. Yes, it is redundant but got a XF70-300 thanks to your video Was thinking since some months if to sell off XF100-400. It was a bright sunny day without much haze and went on to do a comparison at various focal lengths as you did. There is a bit more of contrast with XF100-400,else both seemed same. I think I'd keep both simply for the reach of XF100-400 and portability with comparable results for XF70-300. XF70-300 is more than capable and it proved in my walk in nearby park shooting some birds, flowers and my wifey. Sharp, beautiful colors and I remembered my SONY SAL70300G when I used SONY DSLR before switching to Fuji several years ago. But of course Fuji JPEGs - no work needed on the shots while SONY needed work on LR.

@KirkWilliamsonphotography 5 месяцев назад

I am still keeping both lenses. I use the 100-400 for landscapes out of the car or birds. Also for outdoors field sports. The 70-300 stays in my bag. I use it for hiking landscapes, some sports. It really is an amazing lens.

@subramoniams9850 5 месяцев назад

@@KirkWilliamsonphotography I don't make any money out of photography (electrical engineer by profession). So again the mind is getting confused if to keep 100-400. Have a Fuji XS1 for the reach of 600mm. So???? Had I not got that Fuji XS-1 from 2012 I'd not have moved to Fuji camp from Sony. A wonderful bridge camera with 600mm reach (in 35mm terms), super sharp images, excellent colours. Shooting birds, butterflies, dragonflies, fruits, flowers that don't "flee" is as good as any APSC. Tracking AF performance cannot match current crop of cameras though or DSLR of it's days. Got about $200 for a 9 year old battered Canon Powershot S45 on a trade-in for XS-1 and couldn't resist.

@icogicog8287 3 года назад

Thank you. Great comparison and very informative. At this point I am primarily a GFX shutter but I do carry the XT4 with a long lens for the extra reach. The 70-300 plus the 1.4 teleconverter is now my kit of choice (although I am toying with the idea of grabbing a X-S10 as it is smaller and lighter)

@KirkWilliamsonphotography 3 года назад

Either way you can't go wrong. The X-S10 is a great camera but the X-T4 might be a better for a longer lens sine it's a little heavier.

I went from canon to Fuji and I keep both teams using canon lenses with the Fringer Pro II on the XT1, 3 and 4. and with good results with the canon FF - EF L IS 70-200 L IS 2.8 etc. I get better results than with the 55-200 and I have even compared it to the 50-140 from fuji and I like the canon result but it weighs more. I was thinking about the Fuji 100-400 but now you make me wonder which one to buy for both nature and sports, including the TC 1.4. I am waiting for all the possible advice, (For reasons of operations in hand I have to use almost always monopod, so stabilization is important, although I usually use the XT4 mostly) (Also the lower weight is interesting)

@KirkWilliamsonphotography 3 года назад

My favorite 35mm film camera lens was a Soligor 90-230mm which lived on the camera. This 70-300mm sounds like the closest to that range and when I get one probably live on the XT4. The 100-400mm is a great lens, but you are right "it's a beast", so due to weight it comes out selectively.

@KirkWilliamsonphotography 3 года назад

I tell you I love using the 50-140 with the 1.4x for short field sports like softball or Little League but it’s only a 294 so only around 300mm. I’m hoping I can use this 70-300 for the same type of work but it really has issues with zooming while using continuous AF. It’s to bad the 50-140 is not a 70-200 f2.8 so in FF terms a 105-300 then with the 1.4 a 420 f4 on the long end. So really for hiking and travel the 50-140 and 1.4 much to heavy. But for certain things awesome lens and TC.

@KirkWilliamsonphotography 3 года назад

Gary if you do a lot of portrait work I would go with the 50-140 it's a beautiful lens for that purpose. Shooting at 2.8 makes a big difference for knocking out the background. The 70-300 is a nice lens but I look at it as a travel, hiking, walk around lens a do everything type of lens.The 50-140 is, well, a beautiful internal zoom lens much like the Canon, Nikon, and Sony 70-200 f 2.8 lenses that pros use for portrait work.

I have both of the lens you tested and have done my own testing similar to your process with similar results. One interesting thing I found was that the 2X converter produced better results with the 70-300MM than the 100-400MM lens. Anyone else observe this? Kind of a mystery to me.

@KirkWilliamsonphotography 3 года назад

That's very interesting Val. I don't own that TC so I could not test it.

@koolkutz7 3 года назад

Nice overview Kirk. That 70-300mm lens look awesome value for money. It even looks sharp with that 1.4 TC which is good to know. The AF looks very snappy too, great for bird photography I reckon :-)

@KirkWilliamsonphotography 3 года назад

Should be a nice setup for birding.

@jenesuispasbavard 8 месяцев назад

Any idea how the 70-300 at 400mm with the 1.4x teleconverter compares to the 100-400 at 400mm *without* the teleconverter?

@KirkWilliamsonphotography 8 месяцев назад

Honestly they are pretty close.

@keeleyorku 3 года назад

Great comparisons. Surprisingly, the 70-300 actually looks a little sharper than the 100-400 to my eyes in your side by side samples.

@KirkWilliamsonphotography 3 года назад

Honestly with my eye site and reading glasses I had a hard time telling the difference between the two. So I’m happy 😃

@kztraveler 2 года назад

If only the 70-300 were available to buy new, used, or refurbished! I'd buy a used one in a heartbeat even if it was scuffed up a bit but the glass was in top shape. Leaning towards the affordable and packable 55-200 or the costly 100-400. I have a 16-80 which I love but want more reach. The 100-400 has the reach and weather sealing I want but the 55-200 has the price. Despite the 100-400 being quite large I'm not as turned off by it as I originally was. It's superior reach and weather-sealing is king! I'd be nervous with the 55-200 and it's lack of weather sealing. Can capture some great pics on misty/wet days. Options options...

@KirkWilliamsonphotography 2 года назад

If you can swing it the 100-400 is a great lens.

@donho6523 3 года назад

Just finished a one week rental of the 70-300. I sold my 50-140 and I'm buying one asap! Light weight, (I will actually take it out for a walk) Image quality, autofocus, I shot my Jack Russell Terrier running full speed towards me and it got 9 of 10 in focus! I will miss my 50-140 for lower light but I can always use flash!

@KirkWilliamsonphotography 3 года назад

Don its a great lens and yes you will use it more.

Hola Sr kirk a usted cual le gusta más 70-300 o 50-140?

@KirkWilliamsonphotography 3 года назад

Depends on what you use them for. Hiking and travel everyday 70-300. Portrait, sports, etc 50-140

@qdogg290 3 года назад

In some respects, I wish this lens wasn't a killer. I love my 55-200 but, ever since the reviews started to pour in, I've begun to think about moving it for the 70-300.

@KirkWilliamsonphotography 3 года назад

Dan I agree! But on the other hand it's what Fuji customers asked for the most.

@edbertcadavero14 2 года назад

better to turn off your OIS on 70-300mm to sharpen your image.

@Jekay 3 года назад

I must have gotten a bad copy because mine is a mess at 300mm :(

You need t send it back mine is beautiful at 300

@Jekay 3 года назад

@@KirkWilliamsonphotography Just want to thank you. I sent the lens back after this and finally this week got a new one, and it's excellent!

@Corné-o6h 3 года назад

Why would one still want a 100-400? The quality of images looks the same if not better with the 70-300. The extra 100?

@KirkWilliamsonphotography 3 года назад

Well it really depends on what you are using it for. I shoot a bunch of sports for our local paper and it’s a superior lens for that. For moon rises I use it exclusively with or without the 1.4 x for the compression with lighthouses etc. So for certain things its the choice but for carrying in a backpack hiking for a landscape location or traveling the 70-300 is the lens for me. Basically if I’m working out of my trunk then the 100-400 comes along for the ride.

@Corné-o6h 3 года назад

@@KirkWilliamsonphotography So if the 100-400 would be as compact you would go for that I suppose because of it's long range? I actually own the 100-400 but after seeing some reviews get the idea I bought the wrong lens. As you mentioned it is not very comfortable carrying it on a hike, that's when I take my 55-200, but decrease in range. Still not an easy choice. Pretty happy with the results of the 100-400 though, so best enjoy that as long as I stick with it. Thanks for uploading and your quick response.

@DUCzillaMonster 2 года назад

Twice the money? Here in the netherlands, 1999 for the 100-400 and 800 for the 70-300😉

@KirkWilliamsonphotography 2 года назад

Sounds about right. Better deals on the 100-400 used like mine for $950. The 70-300 is awesome for the backpack and the 100-400 for me is for shooting field sports and out of the trunk landscape work.

@DUCzillaMonster 2 года назад

@@KirkWilliamsonphotography do you know, why the x1.4 and x2.0 have so huge price difference? And do you lose some stops when using?

@parranoic Год назад

Lightroom is not a very good tool to show image quality, it doesn't read Fuji raws properly.

@KirkWilliamsonphotography Год назад

Dan - Lightroom has come a looong way and for me is quite good. They have corrected many of the problems that they used to have with Fuji raw files.
