Rodeo: XT-2 & 55-200mm

[JimP]

I went to my first rodeo and took along my XT-2 and a new (to me) Fuji 55-200mm lens. I have to admit that this lens is really great and focuses fast for the price. I was going to purchase the 50-140 2.8, but the price and the size pushed me to the 55-200. Here are some of my favorites.

Enjoy

I could feel the pain coming on with the top two images. Nicely captured.

Agreed, looks like that landing is going to hurt. Love the third shot. I own the 55-200 and I'm still amazed at how sharp it can be.

Great images!  I too chose the 55-200 over the 50-140 --- actually, the 50-140 wasn't available when I purchased the 55-200 but that's ok.  I LOVE my 55-200.  It's tack sharp, focuses fast, and it's lightweight compared to the other behemoth Fuji is cranking out.

Nice work! I can really feel the pain from that landing.

Great shots! thanks for sharing! Do you remember your (motion #'s 1 thru 5, or custom #6) settings?

Man these are great images!!!   I too love my 55-200 lens! It's so much lighter, and cheaper than the 50-140.  Beautiful images.

Great shots. Now I am caught between the 55-200 or 50-140.

Nice Work! I brought the same set up to an indoor rodeo and it was a disaster. I think that lens works great when there is enough light! Well done!

What do you recommend for the best focus settings with the xt2 and this lens. I just bought the 55-200.

It's the only Fuji tele zoom that impress me with its rendering.
