p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Fuji 50-230mm image thread


I know not a highly regarded lens. I wanted something I could easily take on walks with my dog that had some reach and I didn't care about it getting scratched up in the brush. Managed to find one on Ebay for $160. Its light, easy to handle but slow focusing so AF-C and CH are definately out. For quick shots with some reach I am quite happy with it. Not the sharpest and some of these are still pretty heavily cropped but it serves its purpose for me.

I know you say not the sharpest, but honestly several of these look great! I've seen other samples also of this lens and they're surprisingly sharp - I think this is one of those sleeper lenses that punches above its weight.

If I didn't already have the 55-200, I'd probably pick this one up!

Nice shots! I'm a big fan of this lens. Very light. Compact. Easy to walk around with and a perfect "just in case" travel lens.

Your shots look plenty sharp and contrasty to ME, especially at these sizes. I wouldn't worry as most ALL the Fuji lenses deliver when properly used, and needless to say on the X-T2 it will only get BETTER.

They have much more detail when not shrunk to these sizes. I'm very pleased with the lens, I wish it focused faster but at this price range its hard to beat for the reach it offers.

I'd say you totally missed focus in #3....should have been on the subject further back in the frame

It's a great lens and one of the best values in the photography world. It's amazing you can get this range with good working OIS at this price. It's an outdoor lens and is nice with flash indoors. I have never regretted buying mine.

I bought this lens this week because not having a long lens was killing me. Got a chance to do some shooting with it this afternoon at the duck pond. ISOs are higher than I'd like but it's very nice to have that reach and the quality is really surprising for such an inexpensive lens. AF is fast enough to catch ducks zooming around the pond too.

That's why I got it now. The usual price seems WAY too high but 199 is a steal. I've been dying without a long lens! The 90 is just too damn short for wildlife lol
