As a fan of zoom lenses, and telephoto zooms in particular, when Fujifilm announced the XF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 R LM OIS WR lens, on January 27, 2021, I placed an order with Kenmore Camera (before I worked there!) that day.
I was interested in this lens for several reasons. First, was the focal length range of 70-300mm, as my previous maximum zoom lens was the XF 50-140mm f/2.8. Second, was relatively small size and weight - especially compared to the XF 50-140mm and XF 100-400mm. And third was the relative value of the $799 USD price (again compared to $1899 USD for the XF 100-400mm).
I’ve had the XF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 for almost three years. During that time, it almost always gets added to my camera bag - a Peak Design Everyday Sling II 10L. It’s relatively small size (5.2”, 132.5mm) and light weight (1.3 lbs, 580g) make it an easy addition to my every day gear.
As of the time of recording this video, Kenmore Camera has XF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 in stock - kenmorecamera.com/fuji-xf-70-...
