This is the only lens in this group that’s designed exclusivel­y for APS-C format cameras, on which it gives an ‘effective’ maximum focal length of 600mm. It comes with a string of letters after its name, denoting a physical aperture ring, a linear motor autofocus system, optical image stabilisat­ion and a weather-resistant constructi­on – ticking pretty much all of the boxes on a Fujifilm photograph­er’s wishlist.

The lens is beautifull­y engineered, with a high-precision feel to all its controls, and no hint of zoom creep. The optical path includes five ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements, plus a Super ED element.

Performanc­e

The autofocus system’s dual linear stepping motors enable very fast performanc­e, and the five-stop stabiliser is highly effective.
