Review on πŸ“· Fujifilm XF55-200mm F/3.5-4.8 R LM OIS Lens by Steve French

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fuji does it again for me! Love this lens even after a full day indoors!

Updated: 05/03/2015 Well, damn good so far! I've used this lens fairly regularly and it hasn't disappointed me. Yes, he can't focus at times, but hey, so DID 56 1.2, which eventually returned to Revain. It sucks. I've also attached some pictures taken during the holidays; some hand held, some tripod mounted, but you can see the quality and three of them are sold on two different sites. If that says anything. I am very happy with this lens and think I made a good choice of choosing this 55-200 over the 50-140 due to the weight. The whole purpose of the Fuji system for me was superior image quality: CHECK. Printable up to 24 x 18 inches without Photoshop adjustments like image resizing: CHECK. Lightweight: CHECK. Mission accomplished Fuji! I received this lens today. It was a difficult choice between this and the new 50-140 F2. . 8. Won this lens by a wide margin, mainly because I did not want to burden myself with the weight and dimensions of the 50-140, although all the reviews are very positive Since I already have 18-55, 35 1.4 and Zeiss 12mm, I chose 55-. 200 as a telephoto I opened the box, put it on my X-T1 and my first shot was 1/7 x 172mm, shot at home, I can say WOW! OIS works amazingly combined with perfect sharpness - even at ISO 2500 And I'm totally amazed! Now I can safely sell my Nikon 70-200 F2.8 (an incredible lens in itself). I'm slowly trying to give up my Nikon gear and it's just another stepping stone on my way there. The lens feels very solid! i love the feeling Children k rovatka The zoom ring is tight, I like it. The balance of the X-T1 is also excellent. By the way, I have a metal grip for my right hand on the X-T1. But it's still a beautiful piece of glass. I wish it was waterproof but I can live without it. I'll say I got through my 18-55 in sleet and snow with no ill effects, so I'm not overly concerned. The price here at Revain has been solid; I'm very glad I chose it instead of the 50-140 beast.

Pros
