When combined with the in-camera IBIS system of the X-T4, total stabilization increases to 6.5EV.

Fujifilm XF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 OIS Lens Rumored to Arrive in Early 2021

is expected to be announced in early 2021. It is said that this telephoto lens, which will be added to the company’s product range and is currently on the XF lens roadmap, will have a budget-friendly price.

Encompassing a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 105-460mm, this lens will serve to bridge portrait length to true telephoto perspectives and integrates several mechanical features in order to produce sharp, clear imagery.

Previously there were questions on whether the upcoming Fujifilm XF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 OIS Lens is weather resistant or not. We now know from the mock-up displayed at the Fujifilm X summit, it is marked as “weather resistant”.

Finally good thing is that, if you want to put together a set of Fujinon lenses to cover a wide focal length range with fewer optics, you could combine the 10-24mm, 16-80mm, and this 70-300mm. In other words This will complete a new lightweight, weather-sealed trinity with the 10-24 f/4 Mark II and the 16-80 f/4 a better companion for the similarly tough X-T4 and X-T3.

See the updated Fujifilm X-mount lens roadmap.
