Fujifilm XC 50-230mm ƒ/4.5-6.7 OIS II Photography Lens with Fujifilm X-Mount
Overview
The Fujifilm XC 50-230mm ƒ/4.5-6.7 OIS II Photography Lens with Fujifilm X-Mount is a super-telephoto 50-230mm zoom covering APS-C sensors. Super-telephoto focal lengths reach subjects that cannot be approached, the working range of wildlife and field sports. A ƒ/4.5 maximum aperture suits well-lit work and subjects that want more depth of field, closing to ƒ/22. Optical stabilization steadies the frame, widening the range of shutter speeds that can be used handheld. Autofocus lets the camera's own subject detection drive the lens, which is what makes it usable for tracking moving subjects and for video. It mounts via Fujifilm X-Mount. Closest focus is 3.6 ft, for a maximum magnification of 1:5.
Features
Key Features
Super Telephoto APS-C Coverage
The lens covers APS-C sensors. A super-telephoto field of view reaches subjects far outside the action, which wildlife and field sports depend on.
ƒ/4.5 Maximum Aperture
ƒ/4.5 is a moderate maximum aperture, suited to well-lit conditions and to work that wants deeper depth of field, such as landscape and product photography. It closes to ƒ/22.
Autofocus
The lens focuses under the camera's control, so hybrid shooters can use the body's own subject detection and tracking rather than pulling focus by hand — the difference between catching a moving subject and losing it.
Optical Image Stabilization
Optical stabilization compensates for hand movement, extending the range of shutter speeds usable handheld and steadying the frame for handheld video.
1:5 Maximum Magnification
A maximum magnification of 1:5 sets how large a small subject renders on the sensor, with a closest focus of 3.6 ft.

Optical Design
50-230mm Zoom Range
The 50-230mm range covers a scene without a lens change, which travel, event and documentary work depend on.
7-Blade Diaphragm
7 blades hold the iris closer to a circle when stopped down, which keeps out-of-focus highlights round rather than polygonal — visible in portrait backgrounds and night work.
Mount & Build
Fujifilm X-Mount
The lens mounts via Fujifilm X-Mount, which sets the bodies it fits directly and those it reaches through an adapter.
Electronic Lens Communication
Contacts in the mount pass aperture, focus and focal length between lens and body, so exposure data is recorded to EXIF and in-camera corrections for distortion and vignetting apply automatically.
