Another versatile addition to Fujifilm’s roster of X-mount lenses is the Fujifilm XF 150-600mm f/5.6-8 R LM OIS WR Lens. This powerful lens is perfect for wildlife and action-sports filmmakers and photographers. It will get creators super up-close to the subject, be it a distant surfer or a cheetah on safari. Equally important is the flexibility to go from an ultra-zoom of 600mm to a more moderate focal length of 150mm. This versatility will let you capture both the action, and the establishing shots and portraits to bring those stories to life.
