It is scheduled to get to me via FedEx on Tuesday. http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/x/fujinon_lens_xf100_400mmf45_56_r_lm_ois_wr/ Enjoy Thanks. I understand that this 100-400mm performs quite well with the 1.4TC. So I might do something I have preached against, and buy that TC to give me a 140-560mm (35mm equiv 210-840mm). OMG my pacemaker just went off. FWIW: I often use a TC. The disadvantages,n focus tracking is a tad slower, and I lose clarity with macro work. Not all cameras will autofocus at f8. my D500 and D800 will, but at center point focus only. The latter is only a issue for me with my 80-400, or any 5.6 lens . -- PeterN |

My loaded SLR rucksack weighs maybe 5kg with 3 lenses and paraphernalia. As I like taking photos while walking, weight really is the single biggest reason why I don't use the DSLR that often. With that load of camera bodies (X-T2+battery grip & X-E3) along with all of my Fujinon lenses (7), 5 spare batteries, and some filters, it weighs about 20 Lbs (9Kg). I wouldn’t dream of travelling with all that kit unless I absolutely had to. It is just convenient to be able to have all of it in one bag. I have several other shoulder bags including a Domke 803, and a Think Tank Retrospective 30. If needed I have a moderately sized backpack and a similar sized sling bag. If I am flying that load will probably be pared down to a single body, and 3-4 lenses, I could probably get by with 2 carefully selected lenses. I learned my lesson with my last overseas trip when I packed both camera bodies, and 5 lenses. I found that I only used the X-E3, and three of the lenses I had packed, and I probably have made the entire month away from home with a single lens. ...and a quick handheld Moon shot OIS on. https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-XNvZJq8/0/ded0f464/O/i-XNvZJq8.jpg Impressive. Thanks! I had just unboxed the 100-400mm, and I was looking for a target of opportunity, the full moon was obvious in a cliché sort of way. I should have stopped down to f/8, but it was good enough for a first shot with a new lens. -- Regards, Savageduck |

My camera bag with camera, four lenses, four batteries, external flashes, filters, accessories etc. weighs 4.2 Kg. Not a problem to carry that the whole day. -- Alfred Molon Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at https://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ https://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

I would guess that for me, a typical walk-around load in a smaller bag would be similar. Perhaps one camera, 3-4 lenses, extra batteries, a few filters, a flash will depend on the goals of that day. So some where around 3Kg-4Kg. More often than not, I will only be carrying a camera. If it is the X-E3 I will have a spare battery in my pocket, if it is the X-T2+battery grip there is no need to carry extra batteries. -- Regards, Savageduck |
