Fujifilm XF 150-600mm f/5.6-f/8 R LM WR OIS Lens

The linear motor is design to deliver fast, silent focusing and in this case it’s claimed to get subjects sharp in as little as 0.15sec. The focusing is also internal so that the lens doesn’t change length nor the front element rotate during focusing. But that’s not all, the zoom is internal too so it also doesn’t change length when you zoom from one end of the focal length range to the other.

Fujifilm is claiming a 5-stop shutter speed compensation for the stabilization system when the lens is at the 600mm (919mm) end. That should mean it’s possible to shoot at around 1/15sec and get sharp images. As the range of compensation movement is greater with a lens when you’re dealing with long telephoto optics, Fujifilm cameras with in-body image stabilization (IBIS) will prioritize using the lens’s stabilization when it’s mounted. The maximum aperture range, f/5.6 at the 150mm point and f/8 at the 600mm end. A maximum aperture of f/8 will raise a few eyebrows but that’s the same as the XF100-400mm F4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR with a 1.4x teleconverter which boost the effective focal length from 560mm to 853mm.
