I only use native XF lenses on my two X-T5s. On a recent birding trip to Ecuador, I brought the 200mm, 500mm, and 150-600mm. The most used were the 200mm with dedicated 1.4x and the 500mm. I had some excellent captures with this set-up and the separation was superb.
Focusing in some instances left much to be desired especially when the focusing somehow "de-couples" itself. However, under brush and low light conditions it was a challenge to find focus. I know part of it is user error and still have a ways to go for birding.
