Fuji XC 50-230mm f/4.5-6.7 Review

64

The Fuji XC 50-230mm f/4.5-6.7 lens is a budget-friendly option with good image stabilization. It's not the best in low-light situations, but it provides decent image quality for its price.

The build quality is functional, but the lens is made of plastic and can feel cheap... The optics of the lens are okay, with satisfactory image quality for casual shots, especially when using a 16 camera, although it may not meet the demands of a 24 Fuji X-T2.

Pros
  • Budget-friendly
  • Good image stabilization
  • Decent close-up image quality
Cons
  • Plastic build
  • Dark maximum aperture for low-light situations
  • Smudged bokeh

The lens also has decent close-up image quality and works well against bright lights. However, the narrow maximum aperture makes it difficult to achieve out-of-focus backgrounds, and the bokeh tends to look smeared.

The Fuji XC 50-230mm f/4.5-6.7 lens is a budget-friendly option with good image stabilization, making it suitable for still pictures and wildlife photography. However, its maximum aperture is quite dark at F 4.5, narrowing to F 6.7 as you zoom in, so it may not perform well in low-light situations. The build quality is functional, but the lens is made of plastic and can feel cheap.

The lens also has decent close-up image quality and works well against bright lights. However, the narrow maximum aperture makes it difficult to achieve out-of-focus backgrounds, and the bokeh tends to look smeared. Overall, the Fuji XC 50-230mm f/4.5-6.7 lens is a satisfactory kit lens, but it may not be a standout option in terms of optics, build, or maximum aperture.

If you're looking for a budget-friendly option with good image stabilization, the Fuji XC 50-230mm f/4.5-6.7 lens is a satisfactory choice for casual photography needs.
