Re: Fujifilm 50-230mm - both versions

I've been very satisfied with the IQ and performance of the 50-230ii. As others have noted, the XC lenses are probably the best value for the money, at least in the Fuji lens lineup. It obviously does not have the WR and overall construction of the 50-140, but the overwhelming consensus is that it is a great performer for its class. It's realtively small, light, and fast enough on the right body,

I would recommend the OIS ii version; there isn't much detail about how exactly it differs from the OIS i, except that it is (in the words of another forum member) "OISier" If there are future firmware updates for it, the second version is more likely to be upgraded than the first version, as indicated by Fuji's update page.
