FUJIFILM XF 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 R LM OIS Lens (USED)

Premium Metal Telephoto Reach with Class-Leading Apertures

The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 R LM OIS Lens is a high-performance telephoto zoom built specifically for Fujifilm X-series APS-C mirrorless cameras. Providing an expansive 84-305mm full-frame equivalent focal length, it serves as an excellent companion for sports, wildlife, portraiture, and compressed landscape scenes. Defying the standard plasticky reputation of most variable telephoto zooms, this premium lens boasts a robust, mostly-metal barrel construction that offers immense confidence in the hand. It is also notably faster and brighter in low-light environments than competing lenses in its class, stepping from a bright f/3.5 wide open down to a respectable f/4.8 at the maximum 200mm telephoto range.

Advanced Optical Core and High-Speed Dual Linear Focus

To maintain razor-sharp, corner-to-corner resolving power throughout its zoom spectrum, the sophisticated optical design utilizes 14 elements in 10 groups. This layout integrates two Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements (including one Super ED element that rivals fluorite glass performance) and one high-precision aspherical element to completely suppress chromatic aberrations and geometric distortions. Individual optics are treated with Fujifilm's multi-layer Super EBC coating to eliminate ghosting and flare in harsh, direct sunlight. Focus tracking is driven by a rapid, near-silent Dual Linear Motor (LM) system that acquires lock on fast-moving subjects in a fraction of a second, making it an exceptional choice for both action stills and smooth video focus pulls.

Powerful Handheld Stabilization and Physical Control Rings

Because tiny physical micro-movements are highly magnified at long focal lengths, the built-in Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) system offers up to 4.5 stops of camera shake correction. This enables photographers to confidently drop their shutter speeds and capture sharp, handheld images without hauling a heavy tripod along. True to Fujifilm’s traditional ergonomic layout, the barrel features a tactile, physical zoom ring, a smooth focus-by-wire manual ring, and a dedicated manual aperture ring that allows users to make quick exposure adjustments in 1/3 EV steps. Users should note that the physical lens barrel lacks weather sealing, so taking proper precautions in heavy rain or dusty environments is recommended.
