For my NX500 w/ 16-50 PZ and 50 - 200 I am looking to add a (preferably) zoomlens that goes over 200mm. The best fit would be eg fl's 55 - 300 or even 18 or 28 - 300 do it all types of compact dimensions. Use profile would be typically dressrehersals and performaces of (amateur)theater/music/performance groups.

Thanks for suggestons and/or experiences

I shoot some performances per year and the 50-200 is up to the job. Even in large-ish open theaters the 50-200 at the tele end is some times too much.

My only issue is that the focus ring is not amazing for video.

The 200mm are 300mm in full frame equivalency.

When considering buying a zoom for EF, I choose between the 70-300mm lens or white 70-200 4f and I choose the 70-200mm. If you choose for a full frame system, maybe a 300mm is needed.
