Fujifilm XF 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 R LM OIS 55-200mm
The 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 covers a versatile telephoto range with a linear motor for fast, quiet AF and 4.5-stop optical stabilization for handheld sharpness at only 75g. It scores well for street (78/100) and portrait (71/100), and the included 62mm filter kit adds practical value.
