Fuji XF 55-200mm lens review | Mark Richards

The Fuji XF 55-200mm F3.5-4.8 zoom lens is a bit of a monster compared to other XF lenses – weighing in at 580gm excluding the hood it is no lightweight and is a bulky addition to your X system body. It is, however, quite compact when compared to a zoom lens from a DSLR. In use I have found it to be a remarkable lens capable of producing crisp and clear images across the full zoom range. It is now one of my essential lenses and if I could only have two lenses for the X-T1 this would probably be one of them. The performance of the lens depends to a large extent which body you have it attached to. When used with the X-Pro1 the focus was prone to hunting and was pretty slow and imprecise. It could still produce good images but was weak when trying to capture movement or action. However when married with the X-T1 the performance is totally different – it focusses quickly and accurately with minimal hunting and overall is an excellent lens for catching the action….
