    Is XC 50-230mm identical to XF 55-200mm?

    Pascal, test the lens yourself, don’t go by people whom you don’t know !

     

    I haven’t tested both lenses BUT for the money it costs I found that the results were very good indeed! I couldn’t possibly say that the two lenses are identical though.

     

    Read here ( there are already several open threads on this lens!)

    I agree with you that testing both lenses is probably the best thing to do (if I just had the time), but I am quite sure that at the end I will prefer a lens that is better built and gives me that slightly better control over exposure and DOF. This is not to say that the 50-230mm is a much weaker lens. It's just a personal preference.

    Both lenses were tested by Photozone:

    55-200:

    55-200 seems significantly better optically, especially with regard to sharpness.

     

    I am also considering the purchase of a telephoto lens for my X-T1 and I will definitely go for the 55-200. The reach is not much different from the 50-230 really, but the sharpness and aperture range definitely is. To me this alone is worth the price difference.

    On Flickr go to your photostream. Click on the photo you want to post. That will open the photopage for that image. Click on the share icon (on the lower right, it's the third of a group of four and looks like an arrow pointing right). On the box that pops up  select BB Code and select the size you want to post from the drop down list. Then copy the link and paste it straight into the reply box on the forum. If you want to make sure it has worked you can click on the 'More Reply Options' on the bottom right and hit 'Preview Post'.

     

    Hope this helps.

     

    Thanks a lot Olli!
