In all my years as a photography, I’ve never owned a lens longer than 200mm. Until now. I rented a 300 f\/2.8 for an assignment once and borrowed a 300 f\/4 a couple of times, but for my fast and light style of outdoor photography, I just didn’t relish the idea of carrying really big glass.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Fujifilm released their new XF100-400 f\/4.5-5.6 OIS WR lens<\/a>, and I have to admit, I was wasn’t super warm to the idea of getting it. I make it a point to not own any camera gear I can’t run with, and I didn’t think this would fit that criteria. And, I wasn’t sure I’d really get much use out of it.<\/p>\n

How wrong I was.<\/p>\n

Turns out, I love the Fuji 100-400. I can’t get enough of it! This lens is serious fun, and during the past few months it’s seen more use than many of my XF lenses, including the 50-140, which is THE go-to long lens in my bag.<\/p>\n

I plan on writing up a full review of this lens, but for now, here are five\u00a0reasons why I think it’s awesome.<\/p>\n
