    Fujifilm XC 50 - 230mm F4.5 - 6.7 OISII lens.

    I found myself missing out on some good photo opportunities recently by not having a lens with a long enough focal length. A photography acquaintance uses this lens and recommended it. It's a focal length that I wouldn't use on a daily basis so I didn't want to spend a fortune. At f4.5 - 6.7 it's not the fastest lens so wouldn't be suitable for hand held photography at night (fine on a tripod though) but by day, images are sharp throughout the focal length and decent bokeh can still be achieved. I've now used it a few times on my Fujifilm X-T2 and have been very pleased with the image results. At under £200, this is a very decent lens indeed.

    OK, but not pin-sharp

    Honestly, I wasn't impressed with the XC50-230. I recognise that it's a good budget lens, and has some key qualities such as lightweight, good range, reasonable auto-focus speed, good OIS and acceptable aperture (for a cheap lens). But, the results were just too soft for me. I spent a day shooting with it at a range of aperture settings and shutter speeds then spent a night reviewing the results. I found that at f5.6-f8 it was "OK" at most zoom positions. At f11 the results were good at 50mm but less good at 230mm. Overall, I just wasn't happy with the results and ended up selling the lens the next day.

  • Good lightweight telephoto zoom

    The main thing to be aware of with this lens is that the bayonet fittings are plastic and not metal, rough or accidental treatment can see them breaking off. Apart from that the lens gives nice images, focuses pretty fast and, for a telephoto zoom, quite light. Just treat it gently and if you do break the bayonet, then you can but replacements on eBay, but they cost £60 - £70

  • Same optics as the XF zoom lens, just in a plastic housing, complements the shorter focal length XC 16-50 OIS II

    One of the two zoom lenses in the XC range from Fujifilm, this XC lens uses the same set of optical components as the XF lens of the same focal length, but is in a black plastic housing to reduce cost. When paired up with the XC 16-50mm zoom lens, this extends your photographic range from the portraits, macro and landscape options to wildlife shots and inaccessible objects at a modest distance, such as a visit to the zoo or details on architecture. The OIS II system and accurate manual focus (if the newer firmware is installed*) allow for many such shots to be taken without a tripod. AF is not the fastest on the market, but more than snappy enough at this budget. I bought the "white box" version - just the lens packed in a white carton - but all the lens' technical features are accessed via the camera controls and are well documented. *The original 1.0 firmware is perfectly functional, but the settings are better on the later version available from the FujiFilm website and easily updated.

  • Fukifilm budget telephoto zoom

    Construction: All plastic with a plastic mount but feels sturdy. Handling: Has no switches, just a focus and zoom control. IOS: Has 2 main settings each with an aditional option. Can be switched off all using the in camera menu. Get the settings correct for the subject and the IOS works well.Some user input may be required. . IQ: Very sharp with good colour. JPGs show little to no distortion. Usage: From portraits to wildlife. At the wide end 50mm, it is F4.5 which gives reasonable backgrounds for portraits and subject photography.This is noticible compared to the 15-45mm kit which is F5.6 at 45mm. SUMMARY: Genuine FujiFilm lenses are not cheap and this is one of the budget lenses. I don't like plastic mounts and an IOS switch on the lens would be good as the IOS cannot be set and forgotten about if the best results are to be obtained. Otherwise it is a good buy in my book.

  • Unbeatable zoom and picture quality for the price.

    Exceptional lens for the price, lightweight but well built for what is basically a "Kit " lens, sharp and good focus speed/accuracy when coupled to my X-T10 and X-T3. Needs good light as it is not the fastest lens in the world with minimum F6.7 at the long end. OIS is not very good (doesn't appear to really do anything on mine), I have a Tamron 70-300 VC for my canon and that is 10x more stabilised than this lens so maybe it's just my one is faulty as there is no on/off switch for OIS to compare the difference.

  • For only a little better you would have to pay a lot more.

    Used cost Vs quality makes this five stars. Extremely quiet and accurate focusing with excellent image quality. Can you get better? A bit, yes, but for many times the price. I am extremely happy with what I got for a hundred odd quid.

  • Don't Believe Me!

    This lens was not designed for the camera I use it with i.e X-Pro1 and X-E1 because its part of the Fuginon XF Lens series. It employs a lot of plastic. This makes it lighter and some say less durable, however as I am not planning on dropping it anytime soon, the latter doesn't really apply. The inline motor is really smooth and it's surprisingly good in low light,but not so good for low light video, no surprises there. I knew this before I purchased. This lens is getting difficult to find especially in all black. The silver version looks cheap. Don't forget to acquire a tripod, necessary for low light and zoom situations.

  • Excellent lens, lighter than other metal lenses, not meant for night shooting but great for telephoto - esp for the price.

    Understand that this XC lens isn't part of the Fujinon XF series of lenses - there are some sacrifices to the build quality made to get it cheaper than their XF series. But the lens itself is absolutely amazing to use. Image quality is pretty great, especially when one factors in the price - some might miss having an aperture ring on the lens though, as this lens does not have one. You'll need to adjust it using your camera somehow (probably command dial). It also has a plasticky build compared to the more refined metal XF lenses. The aperture of this lens as well is quite poor in comparison to other XF lenses - at 50mm, you get f4.5 and that drops all the way to f6.7 when zoomed all the way to 230mm, so this lens is much better suited to good lighting. Nonetheless, if you can look past these flaws, you actually get a lighter lens as well - because of the plastic build, it's not going to be as heavy on your camera as the metal ones. So if you are in need of a telephoto lens, and prefer shooting in the day or well-lit scenes and can look past the plastic build and lack of aperture ring, look no further than the XC 50-230mm.

  • Awesome cheap telephoto.

    Even with a slow aperture, it still has a shallow DOF and the OIS keeps the handheld photos sharp even at 230mm. It doesn't feel as rugged as an XF lens, but that's why it costs and weighs so much less.
