Over the past year, the XC 50-230mm has been my go-to lens. In the autumn I bought an older brother 50-140. If we compare these glasses in terms of image sharpness, then 50-230 is not much inferior to the top model. The main thing is to get into focus and not smear the object with a stir. There may be problems with this, because. even during the day, my most popular shutter speeds were 1/125 and 1/250. Still, the lens is "dark". The stub on the long end helps out a lot, but if the object moves and, for example, waves its arms, there will be blurring of these same arms. Using this glass, I taught myself to shoot in series for the right result. 50-230 (75-345 in total) give great room for creativity and separation of the foreground from the background without a large aperture. In street, leisurely photography, you can remain incognito and not enter the zone of uncomfortable eye contact. 345mm and a fairly fast autofocus allow you to use the lens in photography for not very shy animals. The weight is just amazing. Before fuji systems, I had no idea that interchangeable zoom could be so easy. Paired with 18-55 it makes a good amateur travel kit.
