Product reviewsFujifilm Fujinon XC 50-230mm f/4.5-6.7 Aspherical OIS Lens (Black)

Excellent camera and excellent value

Image quality is excellent.

Of course, for the lower price, there are some trade offs. For example, the 4.5-6.7 aperture makes capturing fast moving subjects difficult compared to the XF 55-200, which is a much more expensive lens.

Also, there is no aperture ring on the lens (as advertised). You simply use a wheel on the camera to adjust the aperture.

You can focus as close as 36" at full telephoto, resulting in about a .3X (equiv.) magnification for close-up photos.Read full review...

Great choice for an acceptable sports photography lens

Great value for a telephoto lens with a wide focal length range for sports and long lens usage without sacrificing quality of the image. For daylight lighting conditions it is more than adequate fast and yields sharp images throughout the focal length range. It is a great lens for many photographers besides sports needs, e.g. wildlife or family portraits when you want to separate the camera from the subject.Read full review...

Love my new lens

I'm just really getting into photography and was looking for a second lens. Photographer friend of mine said this would be a good one for me and so far, I'm pretty impressed! The lens itself was clean and in really good condition and it takes great photos!Read full review...

Great entry level investment.

The lens changed my learning curve and opened up the type of shots I can experiment with. The other accessories will expand my knowledge of photography well beyond my point and shoot camera.

Way better than it should be at this price

This lens had several advantages over more expensive pro oriented lenses. It's slightly smaller than the 55-200, and much lighter. It's only a tiny bit less sharp, but still amazing in its image quality. Wow, what a great value.Read full review...

Big value in a small package.

As a super cheap kit lens goes, you can't get much better than this. Image is good and the ability to zoom in (be it only a little) is very useful. Low light isn't the best, but that's what prime lenses are for. Read full review...

Excellent travel telephoto lens

Great mid quality zoom for use as a travel lens.Photos are quite good - better than expected. Light and inexpensive if you want reach but arent willing to pay for the top of the line telephoto.
