Fuji Finepix S5 (1 Viewer)

Hi all,

Advice needed, please:
I own a Fuji Finepix S5 Pro, attached is a Sigma 150-500mm lens.
99% of the time I take bird pictures, UK, Lesvos and Gambia.
I am considering buying a Nikon 300mm f4.
Would this be compatible with my camera, or, is the camera not up to it with such a good Nikon lens.
Thanks...:-C

Thanks everybody..!!

I don't own a Fuji S5 but my guess is that the camera would be compatible. The reason for a lack of a response may well be down to you being the only owner of an S5 on this forum, they were not common cameras amongst nature photographers ... I do recollect that there were a couple of S5 or S3 owners on the "Wild About Britain" forum. Perhaps there is someone who is a member of that forum who might be able to help.

Can't see why not.

One of the photographers I use is based in Singapore, she uses the Fuji with Nikon lenses. Her stuff is very good, let's say that I've never lost my temper with her yet, unlike others who use the other brands and think that they are professional.

There's a lot of snobbery still attached to brands, if you're good then it shows.

She gets very rich colours, partly through good advice, although she doesn't class herself as a wildlife photographer her work is along these lines.

Fuji with Nikon, good in my book.

I had a Fuji S5 last year [great colours etc. but it does'nt have Nikons AF so not quite as speedy for birds etc.]. As it's basically a D200 body the 300mm f4 would certainly be compatible - never tried that particular combo but it worked well with the 70-300 vr.
