Welcome back to another wild review!
This review is all about the Fujinon 200mm F/2.0 AKA "the great white sharp" which I have had the pleasure of borrowing from Fujifilm for 3 weeks and I really tested it out in lots of ways including: wild brown bears in Slovenia! I hope you enjoy!
Stay Wild!
Victoria :)

Hehe i should screenshot those and send it to Fujifilm! Ah I hope they do, that would be absolutely amazing! I had to send the lens back unfortunately but maybe if they make me an ambassador then I can pick that lens ☺️🙏🏻

You can use it with the regular x2 teleconverter as well if needed. The only issue, as the x2 isn't tuned to the lens, is that you get a dreamy glow wide open (which I quite like in some scenarios). Stopping down by 2/3 to 1 stop cleans everything up again. I love mine. Keep up the great work, I love your naturalistic and practical lens reviews.

Hi Victoria, Another wonderful lens review, and what a lens !! The most expensive of the X-series lenses. This is a fantastic tool, and it looks like it matches both X-H2 & X-H2S cameras very well. I'm working with GFX cameras, and I can't imagine a lens like this for the system, it would be fabulous but "un-buyable" !! ha ha I'm glad I found great lenses to use for my work, but there's always great tools to try, everywhere. Take good care and thank you. Colin

The images of the brown bears taken with the 200mm f2 are beautiful. I have this lens & use it for sporting events that I can get reasonably close to the athletes while they are competing in their respective event(s). It is tack sharp wide open at f/2 & the images have wonderful contrast. I use it with a monopod & I like that it has detentes at each rotation [90 degrees ]when switching from horizontal to a vertical image. The “matched” Fuji 1.4 extender still provides excellent sharpness when attached to this lens. ( I did not see any image degradation.) Build quality is exceptional, although it is heavy, weighing in at about 5lbs. Definitely an expensive lens. However, if you are patient & shop carefully, you may find one on the second hand market at a good price. I like your sense of joy & enthusiasm in all of your videos. Best wishes & safe travels.😊

The test I have been waiting from you for months! This lens seems to be so amazing but when watching your bears series I could not that easily find out which one was from the 200mm and which one was from the 150-600. And they have the same aspect and mood making it very very smooth to move from one pix to the other. Is that due to youtube compression ? Could you tell us about this duo? Again congratulations for this test and this amazing series in Slovania.

As always, incredible content! I do own this lens. I really lucked out. I found a used copy in good condition that had a damaged lens hood - I was able to buy it for less than half of the market price. Its my goto lens for wildlife and outdoor event photography. I sincerely hope something opens up for you to own this lens. Your talent and creative eye shows me you are someone who should have this lens. Maybe see if Fuji would be interested in having you as an ambassador. I don't know if being an ambassador would allow access to gear, but you should have this lens.

Victoria, thank you for an impressive series of videos on this 200 f/2 prime lens. As a previous comment stated, Fuji should give you the lens or offer you a deep discount especially if you are able to sell some lenses for them. What struck me the most was the 3200 ISO you needed to even shoot stills at 1/250 sec. at f/2. The IQ is simply wonderful. Did you use any noise reduction on these images? I can see why you stated in a previous video that the XF 150-600 lens f/5.6-8 could not keep up with the prime in such low light. Still, any parting comments about the usability of this zoom lens with the X-H2s camera? Looking forward to your next adventure...

This lens has been on my radar for some time. I live in South Africa and have the privilege of having access to African wildlife within 2000km from home. Is this lens suitable for wildlife photography and birding? Often subject can be more than 75m from where i am in a vehicle (we dont walk around the national parks). Id be interested in your thoughts. The bears i guess were pretty close by, photographed from a hide??
@wildandfreevictoria
@wildandfreevictoria Ай бұрын
Ooo that is a tricky question, my first thought it maybe no it wouldn't be enough for what you would be needing it for. I think at least a 400mm - especially for birds would work better for you. You could try the 200mm with the teleconverter but I have also heard Fujifilm will be releasing a 500mm for the XF series later on in this year so maybe wait for that :)

In your opinion, which is better between the xh2 and the xh2s with the 200mm for wildlife photography? 40mpx is perfect, but not as fast as xh2s - dilemma
@wildandfreevictoria
@wildandfreevictoria 2 ай бұрын
It’s a good question!! So I love having both cameras because I do photography and filming. If I could only pick one it would be the XH2s only because of it’s filming capabilities and that I can do photography as well. But if I didn’t need to do filming e.g this content for KZfaq, then I would pick the XH2 as it’s fantastic for photography- with still great filming 🙂
