Seeing all these fotos from the XC gives a good impression. I probably don't use the tele zoom often enough for the extra money the XF costs compared to the XC. But it would be great to have some fotos for comparison. Is there someone who has access to both zoom lenses and can provide some "identical" fotos? Your help is greatly apreciated. Thanks Frank

I am looking for a telephoto zoom lens for my X-T1. Previously I was only considering the XF 55-200mm, because the XF 50-140mm is out of my price range. And as I am looking for the best picture quality, I didn't really consider the XC 50-230mm. But after I read this interview: http://fujifilm-blog.com/2015/06/30/interview-with-mr-takashi-ueno-from-fujifilm-tokyo-why-dont-fujifilm-make-full-frame-dslr/ I am now reconsidering my first thoughts. If the only difference between XF 55-200mm and XC 50-230mm (besides the obivous differences like apperture, price and mm) is the material used, I would probably go for the XC 50-230mm. But somehow I can't believe, that the picture quality of the XC 50-230mm is the same as from the XF 55-200mm. (or do I misinterpret/misunderstand the interview?) Does anybody know if the picture quality is equal or not between these two lenses. I appreciate every help/info/link/opinion in this matter. Thanks a lot. Frank
