Thank you SO much! I did not mention that I have the "kit" 18-55, So you suggesting that I keep the 55-200 and get the Pro2 sounds great with the lower light! Then I have total flexibility. In fact, I could put the 18-55 on the EX2 and the pro2 on the 55-200…. Sounds like a great solution.

Thank you for the idea!

Hello and Help I have the X-E2 with the "kit" 18-55 and have loved it. Going to Uganda and will be trekking (pretty close) a number of gorilla families. I will be deep in the forest, no direct sun at all and pretty low light. i.e., focusing challenge:) I will be switching between photographs and movie mode. For this, I purchased the XF 55-200 f3.5-4.8 and even after updating firmwear, I am skeptical of the accuracy and repeatability of focus in dusk light conditions. I tried a XF 50-140 F2.8 and ZAP, I loved it and felt its performance was much better. As I was packing up the 55-200 to send it back I realized I might be making an error and here is where i need help. Maybe just maybe, rather than spending $1500 on the f28, I should purchase the pro2 body and keep the 55-200. No folks, sorry, I can't afford both. So the question, realizing that all the solutions make great pictures, but my concern is fast, accurate and reliable auto focus at distance, which is the best combination? 1) Keep my X-E2, latest firmware and buy XF 50-140 f2.8 2) Buy Pro2 body with 55-200 f3.5-4.8 Yes, there are different zoom ranges, I could be happy with either. Thanks in advance! Bruce
