Fuji 50-140mm f/2.8 vs. Fuji 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 | Jordan Steele
While the two lenses share much of their range, they are certainly not identical lenses. The 55-200mm is about 2/3 the length, features a body made predominantly of high-grade plastics and features a non-weathersealed extending zoom mechanism. The 50-140mm f/2.8 is an internally zooming, weathersealed lens made of metal and plastics that is not only larger but notably heavier than the 55-200mm. In fact, it’s 71% heavier than its slower sibling. The 50-140mm is by far the largest current lens for the Fuji X System, and it’s one of the largest mirrorless lenses period. However, it’s still roughly the same size as a full frame 70-200mm f/4 lens, so we’re not talking enormous, but it definitely will require a good size bag. Overall, the 50-140mm is the better constructed lens, while the 55-200mm handles much easier and fits better within the ‘small camera system’ mentality. There’s also a rather hefty price difference, with the 55-200mm available right now for only $550 (regularly $700), while the 50-140mm will run you a whopping $1599….
