Hi Chris, wow...such a useful review...best I have seen! I have a naive question for you...you mention the OIS stabilisation as being very impressive and in the same breath mention the use of a tripod...but I thought when the camera is on a tripod the OIS should be switched off? And also what shutter speed did you achieve and ISO did you use with the deer images, bearing in mind the f8 aperture? thanks in advance for your reply.

I just love your videos. You’re so friendly...and everything you explain is so easy to follow and to understand. Love ya❤️🙂 I’ll never leave your channel! I do have the X-T3, with the 18-55mm and the 100-400mm and I’m planning on getting a few more things for it, the teleconverter, the grip and maybe a 1.2 or 1.4 f lens :) God bless you!❤️🙏

Chris once again a great review. I have to get that kit for my XT3. Thank you very much. Loved your photos especially the air show. I shoot mainly with a Pentax K1, my first love, beautiful camera. Like you I get excited over subjects and the pictures produced. Once again all the best and thank you.

Thoroughly enjoyable and useful review, some brilliant photos and tasteful edits- but your personality and obvious passion for photography got me to subscribe!

Great video Chris, Awesome combo with the 100-400 + teleconverter. Pure viewing pleasure as always..

Great video! the pictures from the air Show were amazing, and also a really good combination with the music. Fun to watch, thanks

Fantastic review chris some lovely aircraft shots this lens is defiantly on my shopping list along with the xt-3

Your work is amazing and I loved the review. Subscribed. Thanks for posting this.

Excellent video, thanks. Seriously thinking of getting out of Nikon after 30+ years, your channel is just what I need so obviously I've subscribed. Cheers. PS looking forward to seeing your other videos.

This is so very informative and down to earth. I love it. A great not up your arse video. Well done that man !

great work again Chris , brilliant still shots , and the video great work ,

Review aside, amazing job editing this. The Video came out great loved the transistions cant wait to pick this lens up my self.

Thanks Chris great video. Love the way you have edited the planes. You should do a video on that.

Those were fantastic videos and photos. Great review!

Nice bit of kit there Chris and what stunning results video and stills!

I found this really useful, thank you. Have had my XT-2 and 100-400 lens for about 18 months - still learning but love wildlife photography and was looking for a review of this converter, hence came across your video on here. My only concern is the weight as I already find the camera + 400mm lens heavy to lift, and not keen to use a tripod as that's just more to carry and slightly cumbersome when you need to act quickly. Your wildlife images were brilliant, by the way!

I loved the WWII plane shots and some of the aerial footage was absolutely Supermarine....

The Fuji 70-300 x mount lens can connect to these teleconverters

Some really excellent images with the aeroplanes :)

Chris, once again an enjoyable video and great shots ... camera combination seems like a fun set up to use although it only shows your ability and talent as a photographer. I have a Nikon D7100 with a Tamron 150 - 600 that I like to use only problem is the weight sooo heavy.

Hi Chris, there is a way to fit the teleconverters to other Fujinon lenses, it involves using the 16mm extension tube, when fitted to the back of the lens you can add the teleconverter without it's projection going too far into the lens. When you do this, of course you then are able to get closer to your subject but unable to focus on more distant subjects!, what i does is turn some of the other lenses 'up' as it were into slightly more macro and smaller aperture, of mostly academic interest, but when you combine the ext. tube and 2x teleconverter with the 80mm macro lens you can get as much as times two magnification, I have one shot on file of 12mm of a tape measure occupying the entire width of the frame!, perfectly in focus. There is one slight problem with the 100-400 at full stretch, its a bit soft wide open, if you look closely enough you can see that it gets sharper and sharper all the way up to F16 with the 1.4!, this means that very sharp shots of birds in flight are rather difficult, but with the IOS I can shoot still subjects down to a shutter speed as low as 1/30th sec.!. this works really well for close-up s on insects and butterflies because the small aperture gives you the sharpness as well as adequate depth of field. Cheers, Richard.

Thank you Chris. I want to buy that combo!

Would love to see a video with fuji/focal reducer and m42 takumar lenses I use it and love it

Awesome video friend..subscribed...Love Fuji❤️❤️❤️

Excellent review sir. Thank you.

Chris: Great photos at the 9:00+ mark. Thanks for sharing.

Superb images, all of them. I recently got the 50-140 with the 1.4 converter from Wex but I’ve yet to give them a good airing. I’ve been too busy figuring out what to do with all the free bags of air they sent with it 🙂

That’s for your review and sharing the great images. Have almost a film look to them. Very pleasing

Awesomeness

Have almost the same setup, save for the 100-400, whereas I am using the 50-140. That said I am looking at the 100-400 (though I am lusting after the 200mm f2, just wish I could scrape up $6k). Having shot Canon for well over 35 years, I recently made the switch to Fuji earlier in the year. During that time I have played with teleconverters and getting acceptable results on 300 2.8 and 400 2.8 glass, though nothing award winning with the Canon system. I am looking at investing in the 1.4x maybe even the 2x as I hear good things about these converters and your images pretty much sold me on the idea of acquiring the 1.4x. BTW, thinking about the X-T3? I'll likely hold off until say Spring. My X-T2, X-Pro2 and X-E2s will do nicely for the time being.

Just found your Chanel and subscribed.. Great video!

Thanks for this video. I've never considered wildlife stuff, but your approach to it makes me want to try. Have you ever looked at super zooms like the Panasonic fz1000.. Obviously a huge penalty with IQ but ultra portable...

Hi Chris, just seen your video today ... it's great! I loved the WWII plane shots and to do a gift to my friend that use radio-controlled aircraft, I'd like to take pictures when he flies them, then post-produce the photos like you did ... fantastic. Can you show me a video of how to do this exceptional post-production? What programs did you use and everything you can tell me about it? That would be great. Oh, I forgot ... I subscribed to your YT channel. Eugenio G. - Italy -

Good video. Love the Lestah accent. I worked there’s for a few years and now call rolls cobs lol 😂

Hi Were the dogs at 21:36 Bedlington Whippet crosses, lovely images 😁

Chris, Great images. I picked up the XF100-400 last week. Did you ever consider the 2x extender instead of the 1.4x?

Nice one mate. What shutter speed was you on with the air show bloody nice photos. Love your processing as well

Hi Chris just wondering tripod a 1:4 converter shot then take the converter off and just use the 100-400, just wondering the difference in image thanks Mate

Hi Chris, I recently purchased a Fuji 100-400 to go with my X-PRO2, XE-1, and other lenses; almost filling my camera case. Every picture I take of birds results in me cropping so I am considering an extender. Now that the 2x converter is available, which one would you chose as a first? Also, I am impressed with your dramatic post processing and having see this done before with cars. I would love to know how to do it? I have Photoshop. Thanks for the video. Chris B.

Great overview Chris. How do you rate the autofocus performance of this lens for wildlife? I was considering getting it with the new Fuji X-S10. Mind you, that new Fuji 70-300mm looks tasty too; you can even use the TC's on that one as well!

Was there heavy editing involved in those aircraft shots? They were breathtaking, I couldn't believe these are real photographs. Amazing!

I've been thinking on this combo and also on the combo Fringer EF-FX PRO II and Sigma 150-600 5-6.3 Contemporary, do you know something about this combo on the X-T2? It`s quite cheaper. Thanks.

Great idea about putting the LR presets you are using up on the vlog. That works for me. Great vlog. I think you are in love with the Fuji........😘

Thanks for the video. I just can't get over the size of the box and the air bags for such a small item. Really?

What did you shoot the unboxing with? Specifically, what app were you watching yourself on your mobile?! I love my XH-1 but the one thing that is annoying is having to set up a monitor to see yourself. Great review and I really love Bradgate Park. Stunning views and walks. Cheers from sunny Los Angeles!

Great review. May I ask what film simulation you used for the SOOC animal/wildlife shots?

Hi Chris Its strange you doing this just now. I just got hold of a second hand (Wex) X2 fuji teleconverter to try on my 50-140mm. I was expecting a slight loss of sharpness after pushing the lens out so far but surprisingly after taking a picture of a RN cruiser way out on the Clyde it was frightening!! the detail was amazing. Jim

This TC works with three lenses. The 80mm micro, 50-140 and the 100-400.

Nice video Chris. My xt3 comes on Friday and I'll be very interested to hear how yours gets on with the 100-400. Should I keep my 7d mkii/100-400ii or trade in and go fully fuji? I await your video. Many thanks Matt

It's like opening a parcel from Amazon. Massive box to protect a really small box 😁

Great video Chris. How do you get these Photoshop Vintage 6 stuff? Yes I have photoshop!

Hi mate. What time can you enter the park on a Saturday morning? Thanks.

Thanks for the video, my son (scottsharman.com) user two of the latest fungi l have been a canon man since the 60s but l am really interested in fugi once again thanks for the video Oh yes l used to use the canon 100 - 400 with the 2 x converter and the 1.4 x converter which were quite good just one more thing have you ever tried the Sigma or Tameron tellphoto lens and l see you have the same Peak design items like us regard Allan in stoke on Trent

Here's a stupid question, what are those red tabs on the side of your xt2

A little under exposed on video of the plane's in the beginning suggestion could you apply -1highlight +2 shadows to expose for the planes Very nice images I love the deer video spot on

Well we know now that Wex in Norwich are one of the least environmentally aware providers of camera gear. That size box for that teleconverter? Really?

Great review and great images (loved the aviation ones!) Check out Moose Peterson for some awesome aviation photography.

117th.

one day i will own this lens. i been holding back since xt2 came out. hard to shell out $2k usd.
