Short answer

The Fujinon XC50-230mmF4.5-6.7 OIS II is a telephoto zoom for the Fujifilm X mount. It covers 50–230 mm, which frames like 75–345mm on a 35mm camera, and opens to f/4.5–6.7. Autofocus is built in.

It has optical stabilization. The optics are 13 elements in 10 groups, including 1 aspherical and 1 extra low dispersion elements. The aperture has 7 blades and stops down to f/22. It focuses as close as 1.1 m, for a maximum magnification of 0.2×. Filters thread on at 58 mm.

It mounts on all 34 X mount cameras in the catalog, among them the X-T5, X-T50, X-E5, X-M5, and X-T30 III. Fixed-lens models such as the X100 series are out by definition.

The same category holds 3 other X mount lenses. Among them, the fastest is the Fujinon XF50-140mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR at f/2.8.
