Offering great flexibility, the Fujifilm XF 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 R LM OIS telephoto lens is perfect for a range of scenarios. From landscapes at a distance to portraits up close, this lens is all you need for versatile shooting. It has great capabilities for close-ups of people or macro shots. With an aperture range of f/3.5-22, this lens can deal with various lighting situations, even in dim light.

Sharp Edge-to-Edge Quality

Equipped with 14 elements in 10 groups, this Fuji 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 R LM OIS Lens ensures sharp images with excellent colour reproduction. With one aspherical element, two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lens elements and one Super ED element, chromatic aberrations are minimised. This gives your images sharp edge-to-edge quality throughout the zoom range.

Anti-Reflection Coating

Fujifilm's HT-EBC (High Transmittance Electron Beam Coating) stops lens reflections to reduce flare and ghosting. These colour aberrations can give your images a strange halo effect or distorted haze. By refracting light, this lens coating helps to stop these common problems from occurring.

Keep Your Shots Steady

The advanced optical image stabilisation system in this Fuji 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 lens prevents camera shake which can happen when shooting without a tripod or from a significant distance. This is an especially common problem when shooting at low shutter speeds. With optical stabilisation, images are sharper – even when shot in dim light or at long focal lengths.

Quick and Accurate Autofocus

With dual linear motor technology, autofocus is fast and precise with this Fuji 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 R LM OIS lens. Offering near silence, it won’t disrupt when you’re shooting in a noise-sensitive environment. The lens is constructed in a way that makes it easy to focus while you’ve got your eye on the subject. The aperture ring offers 17 click-stop steps that make manual control easy and accurate.
