If you want a brass and not plastic lens mount spend the extra $$ and get the 55-200. The other one is cheaper for a reason, and an extra 30mm is not going to get you much further reach. The 55-200 is a decent kit-level lens, and well worth the extra $$ over the 50-230, which was designed for the smaller and lighter Fujis like the XA and XM.

And if you don't need the constant 2.8 and weather sealing, then the 50-140 might be overkill.
