Good zoom, but not easy to use
Up to now I often used the 70-300mm (f:4-5.6). But the deer and foxes were simply too far away, which is why I bought the 150-600m (here is a photo taken on 6 October 2024 at 6.50 pm at sunset with the X-T5 at 600mm, 1/125 sec, ISO 6400, f:8, handheld and without a tripod).
At first I was rather disappointed with the lens and wanted to send it in for repair. Fujifilm's after-sales team gave me very helpful advice, all of which I already knew, but I didn't want to walk around with a tripod because the 150-600mm is already heavy and conspicuous enough compared to the 70-300mm.
Then I took pictures with both lenses at 300mm each. I realised that the 150-600mm needed significantly more light. I use a trick for this: you can set the exposure compensation (on the outside right of the X-T5) to -1 to -1.5 so that the exposure time is reduced and the photo is sharper. I noticed that the 150-600mm, in contrast to the 70-150mm, produces less aberrations (colour fringing) (actually none at all). Some of the details were also sharper (e.g. cat whiskers).
Here is another photo of the moon, taken on 8 November 2024 at 18:00 (600mm, 1/125s, f:8, ISO 1000), slightly enlarged, strongly darkened and contrast enhanced, but no sharpening of the image. As I didn't have a tripod with me, I simply placed the lens on a garden post.
The only disadvantage is that the 150-600mm is not very handy. There is a trick for this too: the lens comes with a strap that I put around my left armpit and carry the lens on my right arm, even with the camera strapped on.Pro
- Autofocus very fast
- Image stabiliser is O.K.
- Very sharp (if used correctly)
- Processing
Contra
- Luminous intensity
Strong part
Length and weight appropriate. Vignetting and distortion very good, sharpness at least good. 1/60 s handheld generally works thanks to stabiliser. Wears very well on the supplied strap --> First choice for paparazzi ;-) Sports and nature photographers.
Pro
- Magnification up to 18x vs. 35mm
- effective image stabilisation
- Good autofocus even when filming
Contra
- Sharpness memory did not want to work with
- Plastic housing
- Image stabiliser cannot be switched off
Hammer telephoto lens!!!

Incredibly sharp
This lens delivers extremely sharp images with my X-S10 (26Mpx). I am convinced that this lens will give even better results with the new Fuji 40Mpx.
