Have you used it yourself? It is weak compared to 250mm f4 but is a zoom and gives more flexibility. I can bet you don't see any differences unless you print 40x30 or higher. I had it for a while. I was surprised by it. I sold it as I needed to the fund 250mm f4.
No I haven't,but basing on what I've seen on the net and my own experience with GF 250/4, I can imagine the difference.Would ideally want to see 180/4 GF with IQ on par with 120/4 instead,but it's not available.So for the time being GF 100-200/5.6 will serve as such.

It would be nice if Fuji would update their GF lens roadmap. I am hoping that we see the two TSEs along with 55m f1.7 in 2023.
BTW - What you plan to shoot with 180m f4? I have Canon 200mm f2.8 and it works quite well on the GFX100s.
I'm not a big fan of TSE lenses,preferring to correct perspective in PP.180/4 would be used for landscapes mainly ,as will the 100-200/5.6.Concerning adapting FF lenses to Fuji GFX,I am a bit tired with adapting hundreds of lenses to Sony A7 series cameras for the last 12 years so now native mounts and electronic connections plus no need for extensive correction in PP is my choice.

I for one like TSEs. Hate spending time fixing in pp. And no pp processing sw can do tilt in post yet.
I tried adapting the Canon 400mm f4 DO mkII with the Fringer adapter on my GFX 100S. I would NEVER call the GFX 100S a wildlife camera, but I was curious how the combo would handle a static subject. This is heavily cropped, also showing just how much you can edit these files. Zero vignette with this lens, the Fringer adapter, and the GFX 100S. My distance from the heron was about the same for this shot and the one below shot with the 600mm f4.
This will make a nice addition to my telephoto landscape ability with the GFX 100S. I also tested the EF 16-35mm f2.8 mkIII, but it was quite dark already, making it difficult to properly focus and frame a shot. I saw some vignetting from 16-20mm. Bottom line - the 400 f4 DO II works very well on the GFX 100S, giving me a nice 316mm telephoto lens at f4! Next lenses to try include the EF 100-400 mkII and 600mm f4 IS mkII.
For comparison purposes, I've added a shot from today with the Canon R5 and my EF 600mm f4 IS mkII. Cropped less and definitely sharp. It will still be my go-to set up for bird photography and wildlife.
50R, Vogitlander 21mm f3.5. Vignettes hard in 4x3 but works well in 1:1 and 65:24. In 1:1 it gives a slightly wider view than the SMC, in 65:24 it is almost equivalent to the XPAN with the 30mm on it.
Has anyone tried the Canon EF 180mm f3.5L macro on a GFX camera? I was sure I had seen it mentioned somewhere, but a search of this thread for "Canon 180mm" came up empty...
