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

The Fujifilm XF 55-200mm F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS is a zoom lens for Fujifilm X (APS-C) that covers 55-200 mm at f/3.5-4.8 and weighs 580 g. Next to 5 other APS-C Fujifilm X zoom lenses in its focal range, it suits you if you shoot in low light or want a blurrier background. If you want something lighter to carry all day, or you want a wider view at the short end, look at the Sigma 50-120mm F2.8 DC OS. If you want more reach at the long end, every other one that does better on reach gives up brightness.

Worked out by code, not stated by a source

  • Read from the lens name: each maker marks the sensor size a lens covers (Sony FE/E, Canon RF/RF-S, Nikon DX, Tamron Di III/Di III-A, Sigma DG/DC); every Fujifilm X lens is APS-C and every Micro Four Thirds lens is Four Thirds.
  • Prime or zoom, read from the focal length in the lens name.

  7. Filter thread0.5

    Lower wins once they are 5 mm apart.

  8. Lead for a pick1

Our pick or our take adds up the importance of each real difference, with these importances and thresholds: a gap smaller than its row's threshold is too close to call and counts as the same. They are our editorial choice, not a measurement, the same on every page, and they never read prices, sales or who sells it.
