New Fuji 70-300 is a winner!

[SquarePeg]

Very happy with the results of this new lens. These were taken from quite a distance. My daughters seat was on the 30 yard line and I was outside the end zone about another 10 yards behind the fence so about 50 total yards away. Great AF with this lens and the OIS helped when at full zoom. These are jpegs. I’ve cropped them a bit and made some minor tweaks in iPhoto.

f5.6, ISO 200, 1/500

Looks good. Glad to hear it is working out for you.

nice photos ... however I'd consider to check if fine tuning the autofocus won't help a bit .. but this is just a generic thing .. it's usually a little more visible on macro and long zoom lenses when there is a little room to grow in the meaning of AF tunning .. look please for inspiration here

I know you have different lens and camera but see the part starting at 2:10

My (very limited) understanding is that the Fuji focus system focuses at the sensor, it doesn't require calibration like a DSLR
