Description — Fujifilm XF 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 LM OIS R
The Fujinon XF 55–200mm telephoto zoom is purpose-built for Fujifilm X-mount mirrorless cameras using the APS-C sensor format. Covering a versatile telephoto range, it starts at a maximum aperture of f/3.5 at 55mm and extends to f/4.8 at the full 200mm telephoto end. Optical image stabilization is integrated into the lens design, providing shake reduction during handheld shooting — particularly useful at longer focal lengths. The lens supports both autofocus and manual focus, giving photographers control over their focusing method depending on the situation.
A 62mm filter thread makes it compatible with a wide range of commonly available accessories. Weighing 580g, the lens is substantial but remains practical for everyday use. As a zoom-type lens within the telephoto focal length range, it is a dedicated option for Fujifilm X-system shooters looking to extend their reach.
