I have the 100-400 Sony G lens and the 100-400 Fuji zooms. I have 1.4x teleconverters for both.

I’ve been doing some side by side shooting, hand held, with both systems.

I thought I’d share some images. In all cases these images are heavily cropped. Usually what I’m shooting is far enough to need that.

I’ll begin with a couple of turtles. The annotations for the images should tell you which is which.

This little bird provided a good opportunity to catch a sequence of images. First with the Sony:

Then with the Fuji:

And, just to end up, here’s the first photo in a sequence where two turtles deal with sharing issues for a log:

I think there’s a lot to like about both lenses. The Fuji may be my favorite. I’m still learning the Sony.

Thanks for looking!
