Re: Looking for a telephoto lens, not sure which option is best
I just finished bouncing around between a Fuji X-H2- and a Sony a7R V-based system.. I've had both on and off for years, including the Sony's earlier versions.. The Fujis always worked well and felt excellent, ergonomically; the Sonys always had more rez but NEVER pleased me ergonomically.. Finally this week I chose to keep my Fuji stuff and sell my Sony stuff.
I've used several alternatives for the 'long', and often my choice is my old Canon EF 70-300 F4-5.6 IS L with an adapter on either the Sony or Fuji bodies.. Today I chose this again for my Fuji system.. The advantage of this lens is its excellent rez and IS; its disadvantage is its weight, being about 1250 grams (about 2-3/4 pounds) including the adapter.. But the higher weight is an advantage, too, as it bounces about less in my hands than a lighter-weight lens does.. It's not small, either. 🙂
