Fuji 55-200mm a well-built "economy" lens

http://www.dpreview.com/articles/566...-5-4-8r-lm-ois I got mine for $499 from B&H, and for that price I can't complain. It is well made, with a solid finish, and does all I expect of it. Fujifilm makes good lenses. -- Regards, Savageduck |

It is well made, with a solid finish, and does all I expect of it. Fujifilm makes good lenses. I'd consider a Fuji camera if they put IBIS into the bodies, created bodies with a decent grip and (at least) 24MP. This new X Pro 2 has a useless optical viewfinder and is very expensive. Fuji could have designed a more ergonomic camera, rather than sticking to a rangefinder design. -- Alfred Molon Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

I'd consider a Fuji camera if they put IBIS into the bodies, created bodies with a decent grip and (at least) 24MP. This new X Pro 2 has a useless optical viewfinder and is very expensive. There was a reason Fuji went down that road. They are selling all the X-T1, X-T10, cameras they can build with 16 MP sensors, and there is a waiting list for the 24MP X-Pro2. All those folks buying Fuji cameras don't seem to have the same issues. As for the Hybrid EVF/OVF, the X-Pro1 had one, so it made sense for those who wanted to see fundamental design retained in the X-Pro2. The new 24MP X-Trans III sensor and CPU will arrive in the new generations of X-Series cameras soon enough. Regarding the grip. The idea of the Fuji concept is to go smaller. If you want a larger grip, you can add one. Fuji could have designed a more ergonomic camera, rather than sticking to a rangefinder design. They could have, but more ergonomic for who? They have a winning formula now. BTW: Have you even handled, or tried any of the X-Series cameras? -- Regards, Savageduck |

Enough to figure out that a decent grip was missing. -- Alfred Molon Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |
