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

This is my first telephoto, and in general, the experience of filming is still small. But I can compare with other Fuji lenses: with a classic whale zoom 18-55 2,8-4 and with a fix 35 2.0. Sharpness, of course, loses to both. Doesn't ring. But the question of what is considered sufficient sharpness - everyone has their own requirements in this regard. I have enough of this. The lens is plastic, but doesn't feel cheap either in appearance or feel. As for aperture - yes, sometimes it is not…

The toy is excellent, for such a price it is difficult to perceive it differently, but it gives a picture, and what else is needed. Pixel-drochers and very picky people who do not know how to build a composition, when all the objects are clear, most likely will not like it) But I advise you) Televisions, of course, are a one-time thing, they are most often stored in a closet and warm only by their presence, because of their weight they are used extremely rarely. and you can always take this)

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…

There are a lot of them on the secondary market, you can buy inexpensively and then also sell if it doesn’t come in. Pros below: A light, small and cheap telephoto for those who need a light, small telephoto or need to inexpensively understand whether a telephoto is needed at all. I realized that I needed a telephoto, I wanted to buy an expensive 50-140 2.8, but it is huge and weighs a kilogram, so I left this one. Dimensions and weight allow you to take it with you almost everywhere and even…

Itcommes with a hood, which is very nice. I was also pleasantly surprised that the filter thread diameter is the same as my kit XC16-50mmF3.5-5.6 OIS II. Below are two frames without any processing,commparing the XC16-50mmF3.5-5.6 OIS II kit lens with the XC50-230mm f/4.5-6.7 OIS Opening the package + zoom test:

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)…

In general, the lens was a pleasant surprise. From an optical point of view, it is practically not inferior to the expensive and heavy older brother XF 55-200. Sufficiently sharp, holds backlight well, moderate aberrations. The body is completely plastic, including the mount, but the plastic is good. On the one hand, this does not contribute to reliability, but on the other hand, it allows it to be really easy. The assembly is Chinese. Despite this, the quality is slightly higher than analogues

Impressions are twofold. On the one hand, this is the only ultra-budget telephoto in Fuji Park. Good opportunities for use as a macro. The stub is quite powerful and normally works out the stir on the limiting FR. As a traveling and vacation portraiture, it is also suitable. On the other hand, in pursuit of cheaper prices, the developers have deprived the lens of everything that could be deprived without a critical loss of user properties. Sold after one session of use, somewhere in a couple…

There is a mistake in the specifications here. The zoom ratio is not 4.6x. The actual zoom ratio is from 3.1x to 14.5x. I took excellent shots in the evening in the dark at maximum zoom handheld in the cold. In my opinion, the weight of 375 grams for such sizes is not much. At maximum zoom, its length is ~18 cm. The lid sits tight. The total length of the hood is 64 mm. The shape is a small cone, almost a cylinder. With the hood on, the cover can be removed without problems.

I bought it on x-t10, it’s difficult without a telephoto, there is no money for an expensive option. On Nikon he worked with Tamron and Sigma 70-300. This one is way better. Sharp, pleasantly blurs the background, sharp focus, does not creep back and forth. Indoors it is more difficult, a bit dark, you need to use a flash. And for street reporting is very good.

About sharpness: 50 at open f4.5 is much sharper than 16-50 at f8-9. At f9-10, I did my favorite pentax 50 1.4 on similar focal lengths, which is also better than 16-50. Despite the fact that 16-50 is better than all analogues from kenon and nikon. Stabilization: identical to the one at 16-50 and the stub allows you to shoot at 1/15, 1/30 with some accuracy. What saves, because without a matrix stub it is really possible to get a frame without movement only by 1/100. I use it as the main lens…

The Fujifilm XC 50-230mm F4.5-6.7 OIS is a good addition to 18-55mm and 16-50mm lenses, giving good telephoto performance at a relatively small weight and size. Sharp at the edges and in the center already at F4.5 - F6.7, but with focal lengths from 135mm, optimal sharpness cannot be achieved up to F11. The background is easily blurred and the 7-blade diaphragm forms the background (bokeh) quite nicely. There is practically no vignetting, chromatic aberrations are present, but they are easily
