Re: Fujifilm 50-230mm and 55-200 - Comparative Samples

You lost me in your veranda. I am sure the points are all excellent (best I can recall), but then the veranda swallowed me up. I want your veranda.

Oh, reality. I had no idea about the flare resistance. We don't get sun in Minnesota. Hence, few verandas. Can't get off the theme.

Seriously, I do think the newer bodies might make the most out of the limited light gathered by the 50-230. The X-T20 might get better AF response than the X-T1 (but I sure would love that heavier duty unit as my back up for bad weather). That AF in low light has been my most unanticipated takeaway with the slow zoom. Tracking a fast, erratically running dog in heavy overcast without a problem in the majority of shots taken. Not imaginable on a Pentax even with a good prime, but not a problem at 200mm f/6.4 (wide open) on the Fuji.
