It&#8217;s also where I got my new lens, the Fujifilm X 50-140 F2.8 OIS. It&#8217;s a red badged pro lens and weighs only slightly more than the slower non IS Canon F4 L 70-200 (The Fuji is 75-210 equivalent). While I do love bargains, I have bought a lot of my gear locally when I can.<br \/>\nThis lens is perfect for portraits, sports, and just for shooting things at a distance. At some stage I&#8217;ll get the other main Pro Zoom lens, the 16-55 f2.8 OIS. For now the 18-55 f2.8-4.0 OIS will handle that range-something it does admirably.  <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"4\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\">\n<div style=\"padding:8px;\">\n<div style=\" background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;\">\n<div style=\" background:url(data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAAGFBMVEUiIiI9PT0eHh4gIB4hIBkcHBwcHBwcHBydr+JQAAAACHRSTlMABA4YHyQsM5jtaMwAAADfSURBVDjL7ZVBEgMhCAQBAf\/\/42xcNbpAqakcM0ftUmFAAIBE81IqBJdS3lS6zs3bIpB9WED3YYXFPmHRfT8sgyrCP1x8uEUxLMzNWElFOYCV6mHWWwMzdPEKHlhLw7NWJqkHc4uIZphavDzA2JPzUDsBZziNae2S6owH8xPmX8G7zzgKEOPUoYHvGz1TBCxMkd3kwNVbU0gKHkx+iZILf77IofhrY1nYFnB\/lQPb79drWOyJVa\/DAvg9B\/rLB4cC+Nqgdz\/TvBbBnr6GBReqn\/nRmDgaQEej7WhonozjF+Y2I\/fZou\/qAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/p\/6m_3DYip0o\/\" style=\" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;\" target=\"_top\">Bought! #fujifilm 50-140 #lens #photographer<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;\">A photo posted by Sean McCormack (@seanmcfoto) on <time style=\" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;\" datetime=\"2015-08-20T14:57:02+00:00\">Aug 20, 2015 at 7:57am PDT<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async defer src=\"\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The lens is superb. I gave it a go first out at the summer fairground at Leisureland, using it for detail shots of the Big Wheel there. Not all the lights appear to be working on it, but I still got some great shots. As the lens has a collar, I put the tripod release plate onto it for better balance. The X-T10 is a small camera, so I&#8217;m not risking that weight on the camera mount unsupported. Obviously I remembered to turn off the OIS (image stabilizer) when using a tripod. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/lightroom-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/DSCF3343.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF3343\" title=\"DSCF3343.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/lightroom-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/DSCF3356.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF3356\" title=\"DSCF3356.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/lightroom-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/DSCF3362.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF3362\" title=\"DSCF3362.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/lightroom-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/DSCF3367.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF3367\" title=\"DSCF3367.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/lightroom-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/DSCF3370.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF3370\" title=\"DSCF3370.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/lightroom-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/DSCF3374.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF3374\" title=\"DSCF3374.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/lightroom-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/DSCF3377.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF3377\" title=\"DSCF3377.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/lightroom-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/DSCF3401.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF3401\" title=\"DSCF3401.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve used the lens for a studio shoot this week for a client, but I did play with the lens using the wifi on the X-T10 to shoot some self portraits.
