Versatile telephoto zoom is designed for APS-C-format FUJIFILM X-mount mirrorless cameras and offers a 107-457mm equivalent focal length range.
Two extra-low dispersion elements are used to greatly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to produce high clarity and color fidelity throughout the zoom range.
One aspherical element controls distortion and spherical aberrations in order to achieve high sharpness, accurate rendering, and low distortion.
A 5.5 stop-effective optical image stabilization system Minimizes the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting in low-light conditions and with slower shutter speeds.
Linear autofocus motor delivers quick, quiet, and smooth autofocus performance that is especially beneficial when working with fast-moving subjects.
Minimum focusing distance of 2.7' and a 1:3 maximum magnification ratio suit working with close-up subjects.
A focus limiter switch on the side of the lens barrel lets you constrain the focusing range to either the full range of 2.7' to infinity, or from 16.4' to infinity for faster focusing performance with distant subjects.
Weather-sealed lens body protects against dust and moisture, and to enable worry-free use in inclement conditions and freezing temperatures as low as 14°F.
Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contribute to a pleasing out-of-focus quality to benefit the use of selective focus and shallow depth of field techniques.
Compatible with optional XF 1.4x TC WR and XF 2x TC WR teleconverters.

FUJIFILM XF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 R LM OIS WR Reviews

versatile lens with impeccable image quality

By Tom

I bought this lens to use as a travel photography lens for wildlife and it did it's job perfectly. It's fairly lightweight for the amount of reach you get. Paired with the XT5 it's incredibly sharp and a great match. I was able to get some incredible photos because of this lens. I wish it reached a bit further, but at the weight and size I can't really complain, some compromises had to be made. My only regret was I didn't buy this lens sooner.

Highly versatile and fun lens with great optics

Having been the owner of the excellent 55-200mm Fujifilm lens for quite a few years, I didn't even pay attention to this 70-300mm when it was released.  My copy of the 55-200mm provides highly detailed images at the 55mm end at 5.6 and stopped down a bit to f7.1 at the 200mm end, so image quality was never an issue in my case.  However, I found myself frequently shooting at the 200mm end and wishing for a little more reach.  My search naturally led to the 70-300mm as a compact alternative suitable for my travel and everyday carry needs.  And the frequent reviews stating the superior image quality of the 70-300mm piqued my interest.  Could it really be better? I can now advise that...yes, the 70-300mm IS sharper, at least wide open, but towards f/8 there is little difference between the 2 lenses at equivalent focal lengths.  Since most of us probably use these lenses wide open a lot of the time due to the already slow maximum apertures, that is definitely a factor to consider if absolute image quality is a concern.  However, the 55-200mm is no slouch, and still one of my favorite Fujifilm zooms. The 70-300mm is a bit more plasticky, and I would not want to bump into that lens when the long barrel is fully extended at 300mm, but with a little attention I have no doubt that the build quality with hold up over the long term. When focused at distance, the 70-300mm is very sharp at 5.6 through most of the range, but at 300mm I feel while it is more contrasty at f5.6, it may show a little more fine detail stopped down to f8.  Really, it seems to be competing against the limitations of diffraction when stopped down to f8, and at f10 or smaller we start losing detail, but that is due to the laws of optics and we see similar softening with all lenses on APS-C format, so not in any way a fault. When focused close, the 70-300mm retains very good sharpness at 5.6, but gives a little better definition at f/8.  Still, this is a very good performance as a lot of zooms get annoyingly soft at closer focus distances. All of the above info applies while nitpicking with the 40MP sensor on an X-T50.  On a 26MP body, I can shoot away at any aperture at f/9 or wider and get sharp, contrasty images at any distance. The image stabilization is simply superb.  This feature has come such a long way from the early days, and has partially changed the way I shoot, allowing hand held shooting with perfect sharpness at 300mm and 1/40 of a second.  It can probably even do better than that, but I have not fully tested this. And last, but not least, the fun factor on this lens is HUGE.  It has stayed mounted on a camera and gone everywhere I have brought my Fujifilm camera bag since I purchased it.  And the fun factor is one of the major reasons I got into Fujifilm X series in the first place - allowing high quality professional grade imaging without lugging around huge clunker full frame DSLRs.
