Thanks,

Its more or less what i expected. Its kind of a stupid thing that, although telezooms are most used for parents on their kids sports, running or playing arround, amateurs shooting birds or wildlife, no mirrorless system has an accessible telezoom with fast AF.

Its not even about having the best image quality of kit zoom (IMHO its the fuji by the way), because image quality doesnt matter if you cant get that moment in focus.

What is the point of having super fast focus amateur cameras when its only usable with pro lens?

In Fuji even a 700EUR telezoom like the 55-200 seems to be no better than the 50-230.

Cheers

55-200mm is a completely different league of AF to 50-230mm XC. If you want blazing fast try the 90mm f2, 50-140mm f2.8 16-55mm f2.8 unless their prices are what makes the inaccessible. But in that they are no different to DSLR cameras/lenses.

The f2 primes are best for kids from what I've read.
