Review on Fujinon XC 50-230mm F4.5-6.7 Black 📷 Camera Lens: Flexible Zoom for Exceptional Photography by Kio Park ᠌

I bought it as a telephoto lens in addition to the kit lens 18-55 / 2.8-4 for Fujifilm X-E2. It was necessary to shoot the tops of the trees. This lens allows you to get a picture, as if I were shooting close young growth, and not forty-year-old tall trees. Requires a very firm hand, otherwise shake, ideally - shoot from a tripod. It showed itself very well when shooting various events from a tripod. Given the non-everyday use of the lens, I am satisfied. The zoom is fully manual (mechanical), fast (for a telephoto) autofocus, there is the possibility of manual focusing (albeit using the same electric motor that autofocuses). This model does not have a separate aperture control ring, but it can be configured so that the wheel on the camera itself is responsible for this (electronic control, there is a mode for alternating aperture settings and additional shutter speeds), the setting can be either automatic or manual. You can install macro rings, then you get a macro lens with a very wide focus area (with a small spread of distances, even autofocus can handle it, and with a large spread, focusing with a zoom: from 0.5 m to 1.5 m). Rings can be taken both original fuji and inexpensive Chinese ones, but they must have contacts to control the lens electronics, otherwise it will not be possible to control either the focus setting or the aperture.
