Tamron announced a version of their 150-500 for Fuji X and it's the second best option on my list for almost everything...
BUT it's the best option for macro by a lot, since it's meant for full frame and already has enough magnification at the wide end that reviewers say the subject has to be INSIDE the hood
helpMagnification sort of matters to me for this lens bc when I'm out walking around with my current long tele setup (nikon 1 v2 + nikon dx af-p 70-300) I like being able to do closeups of bugs and stuff because that setup has 0.594x magnification due to 2.7x crop tiny image sensor
it used to be that I wasn't buying a good tele lens setup because it's expensive but now that I specifically budgeted for it I literally have no idea which one is the right option for me anymore
