What can the Fuji XT2 and kit lens do from a moving vehicle through a tinted window?

Quite a bit it turns out. Not perfect but not bad! Took a couple of guided tours while in Ireland which meant I didn't have control of when we could stop but definitely got to see a lot and didn't have to drive on the crazy roads there. These were all taken through the bus or van window on various tours - not easy with the speed that the Irish like to travel. I was really surprised that these were pretty sharp. All taken at shutters speeds around 1/1000 - 1/1250 f/3.2 - f/4 except the first where it was 1/500.

This one saw this guy at the last second and shot without even putting my eye to the viewfinder. Was shocked that I got him.

Good results. Not much blurring that i can see on my phone.

Considering the circumstances I'm thrilled with the results. Some I had to bin because I wasn't close enough to the glass or was at an angle and there was some reflection from the lights inside the bus (totally unnecessary that they were on btw). Once I figured out how to position the lens for best results, it was a matter of trying to look ahead for the sights and then trying to shoot as we passed by! Almost got a black eye a few times when the bus jerked suddenly and my face was to the camera which had the lens hood pressed up against the glass lol.
