Fuji Alternative to xf 55-200mm

[seanp]

Really, I would like to buy the xf 55-200mm Len, but I can't justify the cost, especially when I consider how often it will make an outing. So I'm hoping to acheive similar with an adapted lens. Does anyone have a suggestion of something that works well. I used to own an olympus om 55-200mm f4 lens which was a cracker of a lens.. Anyone tried this, or have a similar suggestion?

Thanks,

Sean.

Sorry, clearly I should have said it was a Olympus Zuiko 65-200mm f4 lens, not 55-200mm.

Why not grab another 65-200mm OM, it's almost exactly the same weight and MFD.

Is there an adaptor to X for it?

I use a Canon FD 70-210 f/4, which is surprisingly good. Very sharp wide open, though plenty of CA in the right conditions. I may get an FD 80-200/4L which would help there.

Without any sort of IBIS, don't you run into issues when using such long lenses? Or do you always use a tripod?

The Nikon 75-150E is outstanding.
Small size and fairly fast at F3.5.

Then save for the 55-200.

There is always Fuji's new $400 50-230mm, but it's really slow F4.5-F6.7. Slow aperture but fast focusing.

I am pretty sure that fast zoom lenses will be somewhere on next year's roadmap. Now that Fuji offers tracking hybrid AF in all future X models, fast telephoto lenses should become much more attractive.
