Is the fujifilm gfx 50s ii good for wildlife?

It's a mixed answer. The GFX 50S II is a medium format camera, so its strength is detail and tonal quality rather than speed. Wildlife is the hardest thing to shoot, as wildlife and sport explains, and this page doesn't cover the camera's autofocus or burst rate, so check those before you commit.

The reach is there in the GF lineup. These three are the best fits:

• Fujifilm GF 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR: like 395mm on full frame, for distant birds and animals
• Fujifilm GF 250mm f/4 R LM OIS WR: like 198mm, a more manageable step up
• Fujifilm GF 100-200mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR: like 79-158mm, the most flexible if you shoot everything from wildlife to sport

Long lenses are expensive, and good lenses hold their value well, so buying used is the easiest way to try one before you commit.
