- The Fujifilm XF 55-200 mm f/3.5-4.8 Telephoto Zoom Lens is a great multipurpose telephoto lens compatible with X-mount models. Covering a wide shooting range Thanks to its 55 – 200 mm focal range, the XF 55-200 has plenty of in-the-field applications. Covering the mid to full telephoto zoom range, the XF55-200 allows you to experiment with different focal lengths together with a large maximum aperture of f/3.5-4.8 that performs well in low light conditions. A minimum working distance of 1.1 m across the full focal range means the 55-200 is perfectly suited to up-close portraiture as well as performing well with long distance landscape and sports photography. Two ED lens elements combat chromatic aberrations, for images that resolve well, from edge to edge, giving you fantastic results across the full zoom. Shooting stability Incorporated into the XF 55-200 is an advanced image stabilisation function that gives you even greater freedom when shooting on the move. Thanks to the high precision sensors, the XF55-200 works to give you crisp and blur-free images with a 4.5 stop benefit, greatly reducing the need for a tripod and minimising the amount of equipment you need to take on photo sessions. Easy handling Shoot instinctively without having to take your eye from the viewfinder with the XF 55-200 that has a robust metal aperture and focus ring as part of its premium construction. The 1/3EV step aperture ring lets you quickly and easily adjust the aperture without ever taking your eye off your subject – achieve professional-looking, high-quality compositions every time. Rapid autofocus The XF55-200 mm uses an internal focusing mechanism that allows for rapid autofocus speeds, particularly handy when a fleeting photo opportunity presents itself. Lock onto your subject and focus in just a fifth of a second to get a sharp and honest representation of the world around you. The XF55-200 also features a multi-layer HT-EBC on the entire lens surface to help reduce lens flare and ghosting when shooting in backlit conditions, meaning that even more of your shots will be usable and free from distortion. Easy to handle, with rapid autofocus, a versatile telephoto focal range and a fantastic optical image stabilisation, the Fujifilm XF55-200 mm f/3.5-4.8 Telephoto Zoom Lens will make a fine addition to your camera bag.
