FUJIFILM GF 500mm f/5.6 Reviews
Sharp, Light Very Impressive
By Amir
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-08-03
I've been using Olympus cameras for bird photography for many years. My workhorse lens was the olympus 300mm f4 + 1.4tc 840mm ff equivalent. I decided to add the GFX 100s ii mainly for landscape. After trying this lens tc combo for the first time here is my impression.
The lens is sharp and light, it weighs about the same as my olympus 300mm f4.
The 1.4TC is big and heavy.
Using the incredible resolution it allow for a much higher crop and gives a much wider field of view than my olympus (553 FF). The wider fov allows me to track fast birds such as swallows, a difficult thing to do when you have a tight frame over the bird.
I intially had some difficulties with the AF mainly because I'm new to the 100s II and not too familiar with it, but after playing with the setting I managed to get much better results.
