The lens is working out fine for video. I am still struggling with video settings but it is starting to come together. If only- you know that refrain- it was a bit longer- the lens not the video lol. As for stills it is ok but I like the IQ better on the cheaper 55-230 mm lens. The Fuji X-T2 struggles a bit with continuous auto focus or maybe I should say I struggle with it. I find that that focus goes in and out if I'm not really diligent. It's probably my settings. And I know those that are good at video are probably doing manual focus but I can't seem to coordinate that with fast moving birds. I do have to say though that the video is very smooth, not jerky at all and that is hand held. Imagine if I put the camera on a tripod! It's all trial and error. My first videos were really overexposed but I found that I can adjust the expose during the video so no reason now for poor exposure.

Lol - what I meant was..I have only had this camera for 5 months and STILL haven't gotten into its capabilities (nor have I had much time to use it lately because of work) I think that since you are loving video work, you have made an excellent choice - I hear the X-T3 is outstanding! When I master this camera, I will upgrade if not just for the autofocus improvements alone. By the way, how is the 55-200 working for you?
