I've been round and round on a decision over a dedicated prime wildlife lens over the last year or so because the one lens I would have liked to own I felt was massively over-priced: the XF 200 f2 with 1.4x TC.
Park Cameras is currently selling them in the UK for £1900 off the current RRP of £5399 bringing it to a level where (disposing of other equipment in px) I can justify acquiring it.
I'll reserve judgement on whether this has really been a good idea until it arrives and I can test it.
However, in the meantime if anyone else in the UK has been tempted by this lens in the past but felt it vastly overpriced, now is your chance to own it at a level which I think is commensurate with primes from other manufacturers in the same class (actually better when you think about the Nikon or Canon 300mm primes).
I hope this doesn't appear boastful on my part, the intention of this post really is a public service message for the UK Fuji community in case anyone wants to take advantage (not sure they will export elsewhere as we are suffering all sorts of issues post-Brexit in this country).
Just my two cents
