I'm kinda surprised by the sharpness at 400mm on the fuji lens. I used to own one of these, and wide open it's pretty soft at 400mm. I pretty much always stopped down to f/7.1. That being said, I'd suggest everyone shopping for one of these to get a used XF 100-400 or the Tamron 150-500. You can get the used XF 100-400 for like $800-1000 and the Tamron lens is quite a bit sharper wide open and gives you more range.

I had 3 copies of the Fuji2 were very good and sharp even wide open. Never stopped them down. The last one I got was a shocker. Had to stop down to f7.1 and f8 to get acceptable results. It was a used lens bought from a dealer. I used the Sigma 100-400 on Nikon D810 as second gear to my Nikon D5 and Sigma 120-300 with 2.o TC I was very happy with both Sigma lenses. The 100-400 I packed for business trips and always take a camera and 2 lenses to shoot landscapes and wildlife. Also used it on Nikon D500. Produced great results and good fun with light gear. My experience with Fuji 100-400, A great lens

Nice to see that real wildlife photographers like Tony and Chelsea reviewing this lenses. Many potrait, wedding and event photographers does not use this lenses and so without knowing are not checking the important issues on the lenses. Good to see that Fuji is allowing third party manufacturers like Viltrox, Sigma and Tamron into the X-mount system. Now with the release of the X-H2 and X-H2s this incentivate more manufacturers to support the X-mount.

Does anyone know if the Sigma 100-400 will work with the Fujifilm 2X teleconverter? If not, that gives a serious edge to the Fujifilm lens. For me the real competitor to the Sigma lens is the Tamron 150-500. If you're deciding between the Fujifilm and the Sigma 100-400 then cost is probably the deciding factor and in that case you get quite a bit more reach with the Tamron for an additional $350. The Tamron also avoids overlap with the Fujifilm 50-140.

Is there any reason they didn't mention the Sigma lack of an aperture ring? It could be a bit of an issue for X-T shooters. Should I read anything into that they were shooting on an X-H2? I really like Tony & Chelsea, but unless I'm missing something this seems like a sin of omission.

I would disagree with your "Sigma is better because it's half the price" way of looking at this comparison. I doubt many people buy the Fuji 100-400 at list price since there are so many used copies available. An excellent used copy of the Fuji 100-400 with a tripod collar is around $1100+/-. The sigma with the optional tripod collar is over $1100, so essentially they are the same price. So I think that's how the average photographer is going to compare these two. Nice video though.

This is good-enough lens. Now we wait for m43 version. Olympus 100-400mm is basically a rebranded previous DSLR version of this Sigma lens, so why we couldn't get this one for m43? Olympus 100-400mm does not benefit from SH2 50fps nor Sync-IS features so lack of these functionalities on the new Sigma wouldn't be a major problem. Of course mark II of Olympus 100-400mm based on this new Sigma that would Sync with IBIS and support SH2 50fps would be awsome, but at that point we have nothing to loose? Without such a lens I wonder if I should ditch OM-1. For wildlife 20MPix, 20fps C-AF, and UNSync-IS is nothing to write home about. 600mm f8 FF equivalent Olympus lens that is optically great but not stellar FOR $3000!!! or 300-1000mm f9-11 FF equivalent lens that is optically very good but not great for $7500!!! $#^%#^&#&!!! to use it with 20Mpix body is not a reasonable option for anyone except for OM-System ambassador. Regular wildlife users of OM-1 needs a reasonabluy priced zoom lens with very good optical quality (not neccesarily great) that let them benefit from OM-1 two key unique OM-1's wildlife-related assets: great IS and super fast drive modes.

Not that I think it matters much, but the Fuji is also about 1/3rd of a stop faster across the range. Regardless, the performance of the Sigma is 95% of the way there at 50% of the price. Just goes to show that Fuji optics, while great, were/are pretty overpriced prior to opening up the platform in earnest to third parties like Sigma, Tamron, Viltrox, etc.

This review was unbiased but it was also uncritical and lacked the important context that this lense is really obsolete in the FF world. I don't know enough about the Fuji ecosystem of lenses to know what else is out there. As a Sony shooter who bought this lens to play with for $300, I've always noted how bad it is now compared to just about every other option in this segment. Which makes it interesting that its somehow noteworthy in the Fuji mount. I feel like this is more of an ad for Adaroma then a review, and that you couldn't rain on the whole Fuji parade because that wouldn't move any product. When you do ads / vids for KEH it's more excusable because things are used and cheaper, but honestly a similar problem applies, because your critical eye that we all appreciate is tempered. I love you guys, but it is annoying and makes your videos less interesting.

I told him to let me know what they offered for the lens and I'd probably beat it. They offered 250 and I gave him 300. It's great for taking to the zoo or my kids sports, but it's not a pro lens. In low light my 70-200 takes basically équivalent images because despite the extended reach, this lense's high apeture means hi iso and more noise, basically canceling out the extra reach. It's just not very sharp at 400 also. Side by side with my 70-200 taking photos of a speaker at a conference from the back of the room they are so similar cropped that I don't even bother to consider this lens. Maybe someday I'll use it on a tripod from the back of the room for video. It I was going to shop for a zoom leblns I'd get basically any other option before this one for e mount.
