  • This lens is sharp and good build quality, all sharp in whole range
  • the super sharp but heavy built-like-a-tank Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8D ED zoom lenses
  • Solid build, sharp sharp pictures, excellent color rendition, a vey good range when you want to pull things in, but can also be used for portraits in larger rooms and concerts etc...
  • Very nice build quality, coming from a 18-200mm lens on another system
  • A solid and well built lens, the 55-200 also takes great images

Reviews around quality (4.71 of 5)

  • Its quality just falling shy of excellent for a zoom, but good enough for pro work
  • The image quality and sharpness are outstanding; the build quality is just as good
  • The mechanical build quality of the lens is good to very-good, with a nearly all-metal construction, tight fit and finish
  • Fuji has a cheaper zoom lens and i dont know the quality, but i would recommend to buy this lens

Reviews around bokeh (4.56 of 5)

  • When zooming in closely, the bokeh is great for a zoom camera such as this.
  • Very sharp and great bokeh as well, which is unusual for this kind of lens.
  • superb lens; sharp and responsive; good bokeh; compact and lightweight compared to my
  • This lens on an XT1 is as sharp as Canon's 70-200 f4L on a 5dm3, but its bokeh is not as nice, and has surprisingly good color rendering
  • I found myself wanting the extra reach that this lens provides, and fully expected it to perform like the stabilized 70-300mm zooms offered by Nikon and Canon; which is to say decently sharp when stopped down, with messy, noisy bokeh.

Reviews around result (4.49 of 5)

  • Operationally, the OIS is outstanding, and I was able to shoot hand-held at maximum zoom with great results (and I don't have super-steady hands).
  • One thing I will say is that through careful sharpening, you can get very good results.
  • It's nice enough and well made, it's unusually fast, it has good contrast, and when it deigns to focus, the results are plenty sharp
  • It's nice enough and well made, it's unusually fast, it has good contrast, and when it deigns to focus, the results are plenty sharp
  • It is possible to shoot at 200mm and 1/20 second with good breathing technique and get sharp results

Reviews around camera (4.49 of 5)

  • It was meant for those of us that could never afford a Leica "M".
  • The photos are a little soft and not as high quality as I would like for the money.
  • Coupled with your favorite Fuji X camera (take your pick of model), you'll be able to knock off quality shots that are sometimes simply amazing
  • I love the camera, and the 18-55 kit lens is superb and saved the day for the Alaska photos, and the 14mm wide prime is also an excellent lens.
  • The photos are a little soft and not as high quality as I would like for the money.

Reviews around picture (4.40 of 5)

  • The new Zooms lens XF 55-200 mm makes amazing pictures
  • Especially when there are a lot of specular highlights, it can get confused really fast (well, actually really slowly, but either way you get a blurry picture)
  • What good is a lens when you can't take a SHARP picture of the a moving object because the lens is not able to focus fast enough
  • My concerns are it's focusing speed and ability to take a very sharp picture of a moving object
  • At maximum zoom, it produces sharp pictures with the usual Fuji colors and contrasts

Reviews around light (4.33 of 5)

  • Make sure you make both the speed and depth of field (ie aperture) have enough margin for error -- to do so, you must have enough light or
  • I was a bit concerned by the slow aperture (3.5 to 4.8) but in good light this proved not to be an issue.
  • Generally larger is best for good light, while smaller is better in poor light
  • While the long end is a little faster that typical consumer zoom lens, it still needs good light or the ISO will have to be cranked up pretty high.
  • This often brings the lens close to the actual range of the object, especially if there is sufficient light

Reviews around mm (4.16 of 5)

  • I use the Fuji 14mm f/2.8 (superb glass) a Rokinon 8mm fisheye for Fuji mount, and Tamron 90mm f/2.8 adaptall manual macro
  • Sharpness - its sharp, its in between 16-55mm and 18-55mm
  • The 90mm is a bit sharper, but only if you are peeping.
  • Speed - I would say its fast in daytime as fast as 16-55mm f2.8, then struggles to lock on at dusk
  • (Most of the Fuji X lenses, including the spectacular 14mm and the 35mm models, are extremely light)

Reviews around color (4.10 of 5)

  • Solid build, sharp sharp pictures, excellent color rendition, a vey good range when you want to pull things in, but can also be used for portraits in larger rooms and concerts etc...
  • Super sharp and has great colors that makes the images pop
  • No nasty color casts, good sharpness, great stabilization, built really
  • This lens on an XT1 is as sharp as Canon's 70-200 f4L on a 5dm3, but its bokeh is not as nice, and has surprisingly good color rendering

Reviews around zoom (3.53 of 5)

  • I do get some zoom creep, which does bother me; all in all, I really prefer zooms that are all internal, but do like the fact that I can just squeeze this into my Hubba Hubba Hiney case with my body and two other lenses—something I wouldn't be able to do with an internal zoom lens
  • When zooming in closely, the bokeh is great for a zoom camera such as this.
  • It was meant for those of us that could never afford a Leica "M".
  • It is very nicely weighted and the zoom, focus, and apperature all work smooth as can be.
  • It has a very useful zoom range , about 80 to 300 35mm equivalent
