A detailed, hands-on review of the Fujifilm XF150-600mm lens with sample photos and video. Recorded in a canoe
A few notes:
This video was produced with pre-release hardware/firmware, and Fujifilm has asked me to indicate that some elements may still be changed before release.
The name badge of the X-H2S is covered with black tape, as I recorded this video while under non-disclosure.
None of the samples were taken from a canoe. I did take photos from the canoe following the recording - in general, canoes are so unstable that, although the X-H2S's is very good - it's not really possible to shoot at 600mm in a canoe. Sorry.
The audio blip at 4:30 is wind overloading the Zoom F2 recorder.
