I, too, am an XC 50-230 convert. If you have the light and/or don't need a fast aperture, it's a lot of value and very, very light indeed. While I expected to like it when I got mine, I didn't expect to enjoy it quite so much. I had considered trying out the 50-230 as a proxy for getting a 70-300 eventually, but my experience so far has pushed that time of switching (if it ever happens) a good while back.

I love how this lens compliments my original X-T20 camera and XF 18-55mm lens to make (for me) a perfect travel kit.

The 50-230 doesn't only complement the 18-55's focal range very well, it also shares its filter thread. Very handy for a two-lens combo.
