XF200mmF2 Lens Rumors

Recommended Posts

I'm kind of sort of interested in the 200mm, but I'm not sure I'll be able to swallow the price of such a lens.  Especially since I'll be getting the 8-16mm for sure.

Other than cost you have to consider the weight . I would like if Fuji would build a a 200 F4

Do you know of any cheaper 200mm f/2 lenses?

 

 

More a comment that most Fujifilm shooters aren't sport or bird photographers spending that kind of bread on a long telephoto...not to mention what is probably a weight distribution issue with smaller Fujifilm bodies. It's more that a 200mm F2 at $6k is a very, very small niche when it comes to Fujifilm shooters. Probably proportionally a way smaller share than 200mm F2 customers using Nikon or Canon.

 

But to your point both Nikon and Canon make 200mm F2 lenses with image stabilization that come in under $6k (~$5500?). Those are both full frame lenses while this is APS-C so...yeah, it still feels a little more expensive than it should be. If you want to argue that the 200mm on Fuji is actually more like a 300mm on full-frame? Fine...but those are still $6k.
