XF90mm or 55-200?

Never liked the 135mm focal length

Back when I shot film, the 135 never appealed to me. Just a bit long for portraits and a bit short on the tele end. So with the 55-200, I can cheerfully zoom right past that focal length. I do wish Fuji's zooms had marked f stops. Yeah I know that the variable aperture zooms would deviate from marked stops when stopped down, but even if relative, being able to check the ballpark setting at a glance appeals to me. My old manual vari-aperture lens has marked f stops, only a problem when using a handheld meter.
