Summary

The FUJINON XF100-400mmF4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR is a telephoto zoom lens for Fujifilm X Series APS-C cameras. Its 100-400mm range delivers a 35mm-equivalent angle of view of about 152-609mm, placing it firmly in super-telephoto territory for wildlife, sports, aircraft, distant action and compressed landscape work. Fujifilm positions it as a high-performance long zoom with 5-stop optical image stabilization, twin linear autofocus motors and a weather-resistant body designed for outdoor shooting.

The optical construction uses 21 elements in 14 groups, including five ED elements and one Super ED element to suppress chromatic aberration, a critical point for long telephoto lenses. The variable f/4.5-5.6 aperture helps keep size and weight manageable for the reach on offer, while the 9-blade rounded diaphragm, 1.75 m minimum focusing distance and 0.19x maximum magnification add flexibility for details, nature work and distant subjects. The stabilization system is rated at 5 stops and automatically adapts for panning by correcting only the vertical plane.

In practical use, the XF100-400mmF4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR is one of the key long-reach zooms in the X mount system for photographers who need reach without moving to a huge prime. It weighs 1,375 g, accepts 77mm filters, supports the XF1.4X TC WR and XF2X TC WR teleconverters, and has sealing against water, dust and low temperatures. It is not a small or especially fast lens, but it combines reach, stabilization, autofocus speed and outdoor toughness in a package aimed squarely at wildlife, field sports, motorsports and travel nature photography.
