This is and ideal lens for many aspects of photography, being light and easy to use it ticks all the boxes for myself being of the older generation (Grandma) I was totally surprised how sharp the images were and the I.S. works very well.

The Fujifilm Fujinon XC 50-230mm F4.5-6.7 OIS II is an affordable telezoom for the X system, but its narrow f-stop limits use in dim light.

The Fujifilm Fujinon XC 50-230mm F4.5-6.7 OIS II ($399) is the telezoom for X system owners who don't want to spend a lot of money on a long lens. The light zoom covers a long range, delivers reasonably sharp, although not impeccable, images, and is often available at a discount as part of a bundle. Its narrow aperture means that it's best used in sunlight, even with its stabilization system. If that covers your needs, it's a solid addition to a mirrorless camera kit. If you need a brighter zoom, Fuji offers the XF 55-200mm F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS for $700.

Very good condition...works perfectly with my xm-1 camera. Great product and arrived on time as described by seller. I am satisfied with this purchase

At this price, you should be happy to get a mediocre telephoto beginner lens. You get so much more than that! Sure, the construction is all plastic, including, unfortunately, the mount.

Used this yesterday to try and take shots of a parade, it failed miserably, the auto focus just wasn't up to the job, most shots came out blurred. I've nothing but praise for it though if you're photographing static objects, does the job well then.

Good lens. Serves my purpose

Very pleased with my lens, exactly as expected. It arrived in good time and I was kept up to date at every stage.
