Fujifilm Fujinon XF 55-200mm F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS

 

There's not much bad to say about the Fujifilm Fujinon XF 55-200mm F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS—it's one of the best 55-200mm lenses we've seen, but it is on the pricey side.

Edge-to-edge sharpness wide open. Wider aperture than competing lenses. Optical stabilization system. Sturdy build.

Pricey. Lacks weather sealing.

The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 55-200mm F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS feels like a pro lens in the hand, and its f/3.5-4.8 aperture captures a little bit more light than a similar lens for another system like the Samsung 50-200mm F4-5.6 ED OIS III NX. But it's also...

Fujifilm XF 55-200mm F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS

 

Over the past few years, the digital camera market has been transformed by the arrival of mirrorless compact system cameras. Freed from film-era design constraints, these can provide image quality to match SLRs in a much more portable form factor....

Impressive image quality at all settings ; Exceptionally low chromatic aberration ; Minimal distortion or vignetting visible in normal use (via software correction) ; Essentially silent autofocus ; Very effective image stabilization ; Convenient...

Images can look a little soft on the pixel level (due to software correction of pincushion distortion) ; Autofocus not as fast as its peers ; Expensive

The XF 55-200mm F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS is a relatively portable, well-made telephoto zoom that delivers consistently fine images. Focusing is essentially silent and reasonably fast, at least with static subjects, and the optical image stabilisation works...

Fujifilm XF 55-200mm F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS Review

 

As the first telephoto zoom for the fledgling XF system, the new Fujifilm XF 55-200mm F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS is a solid rather than spectacular performer, offering an appealing combination of good image quality, excellent construction and handling, and fair...

Lens Test: Fujifilm XF 55–200mm f/3.5–4.8 R LM OIS

 

In April 2013, this 55–200mm f/3.5–4.8 OIS zoom ($699, street) joined the Fujinon 18–55mm f/2.8–4 zoom ($699, street) to round out a relatively fast and useful XF-series optical system for Fujifilm's impressive X-series of ILCs. How good is it? An...

Fujifilm Fujinon XF 55-200mm F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS Lens Review

 

Built like a pro-grade lens and shoots like an L-series lens, its price is actually quite a steal. Fujifilm maintains that their X-series was a premium segment, so a premium pricing that falls in line with the rest of their lineup is expected. What we...

Extremely well-built, Fast and accurate focussing, Effective Image Stabilization, Optical design suppresses fringing very well

Barrel extends significantly while zooming, Expensive when compared to same lens by other manufacturers, Lens barrel extends beyond the X-E1 body, making it difficult to stabilize on flat surfaces

Fujifilm XF 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 R LM OIS Review

 

Excellent performance at 55mm, Low distortion, Good build quality, Very effective optical stabilisation, Fast linear focusing motor

Drop off in sharpness as lens is zoomed towards telephoto, May be a little pricey when compared to equivalent lenses for other systems
