> Morning Luggers,
> Leo's camera called yesterday and told me that the Fuji 55 - 200  
> zoom that I had ordered had come in.
> I went down and picked it up. The construction is like the 18 - 55  
> zoom and although about twice the size it is also light for the size  
> of its focal length(s).
> It has an aperture ring without markings - you turn it and watch the  
> f stops in the LCD or viewfinder. The zooming action is smooth and  
> there is no zoom creep.
> Autofocus speed is average to slow and follow focus needs a lot of  
> work. But there is little hunting.
> The focusing speed of the next version of Fuji camera bodies will  
> hopefully be faster as the X100S has improved over the X100.
> Of course, I am comparing to the Nikon 70 - 200 VR II on the D800E  
> which is state of art -
> remember my eagle pictures. Image quality is very good - like the  
> panasonic 100 - 300 which I used in Africa two years ago. Here are a
