Well said. I have been getting used to the XC 50-230mm lately. The more I use it the more I like it -- and that's coming from a guy who has used the 90/f2 and 16-55/f2.8 exclusively for the past couple of years.

Appreciate the effort you put into this post.

How would you judge the sharpness of the lens? Because of this post I am more inclined to get the lens. Would I be able to use it wide open for portrait shots at a longer distance?
