  • Happy New Year, guys! What a way to end a splendid year on TH-cam with you: trying a new lens, an old lens and shooting together.
    Sorry I didn't have time to label the camera settings. Hanging with the family this week. No time.
    First time here? Hi, I'm Omar Gonzalez, a professional portrait and event photographer in the NYC/NJ area. On this channel, we talk about cameras, lenses, tech, and techniques to improve our photography.

    The 18-55mm along with the 55-200mm makes a winning combination for a walkabout system. Lightweight and full coverage for most situations. Cheers and a Happy New Year to you, G

    I purchased this lens and have found its optics excellent. Fine lines are sharp without distortion I've discerned throughout photos. Paired with the 10-24mm it's an ideal setup for landscape. Beautiful photos you took! Happy New Year to you!

    Incredible shots at the end! The lens is an extension of the great 18-55 Fuji kit which is a beautiful lens itself. Great value lenses to cover every scene

    Happy New Year Omar. Have owned the 55-200 for around 4 years now, I feel its a bit soft at 200mm but is great for travelling especially on a motorbike. I wanted longer reach for wildlife and unfortunately the 55-200 isn’t compatible with either of the Fuji converters so ended up buying a used 100-400mm which is an absolute beast! Keep up the great work and happy shooting in 23 👍

  • @pithaupert
    @pithaupert ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I was considering getting this decent 55-200 but then Fujifilm released the 70-300 which gives me a little more reach while having weather sealing. If I pick up my X-T2 it is often with that lens because it's so compact while offering me a range that's hardly achievable on a full frame without sacrificing portability. Thanks for your insight Omar and happy new year y'all!☺

    Great video - Happy New Year. I sold my 55-200 for the 70-300, loved the 200...loving the 300's extra reach...both great lenses IMO. Looking forward to more of your content in 2023!

  • @Honkus
    @Honkus ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This was one of the first Fuji lenses I had purchased.back in 2017, and I really loved it. So small and light, and image quality is much better than I expected. Stupid me sold it around 2019. But I got the 70-300 after it came back and it is even better, and works with the TC and is WR too. You can't go wrong with either. Fuji makes some solid lenses. Omar, thanks for all the great videos you have put out, you have really helped me in many ways.

  • @christopherbgriffith
    @christopherbgriffith ปีที่แล้ว

    The 55-200 is a nice lens I used for over a year and got lovely results from. I ended up selling it when the 70-300 came along because between it and the 50-140 I had those focal ranges sufficiently covered. But it’s no slouch and definitely a good travel zoom lens. Happy new year, Omar! 🎉

  • @desmondpainter7313
    @desmondpainter7313 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I always thought the 55-200 is a bit underrated on the Fuji forums I frequent. I bought one on sale early 2022 and really loved it. On my X-S10 it made for a compact, lightweight setup, perfect for day trips (up Table Mountain, a river cruise, etc) but besides the convenience I also just got really lovely images. Then I got out of the car, had to tend to a child, didn't realize the camera bag was open, and dropped it on the pavement... camera fine but lens broke at the base. Urgh. Thought about upgrading to a 'better' zoom but then realized for the stuff I want to use it for, the upgrades are too expensive and the 55-200 high quality and fun enough to use. I will replace it. Nice video this. Thanks for a year of great content: always super informative and fun to watch. Happy 2023 Omar and everyone here!

  • @wilfs1196
    @wilfs1196 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Had a 55-200, sold it, shouldn't have. It was my 2nd Fuji lens after the 18-55 which I also enjoy & use a lot on my X-E4. I did purchase the 70-300 which was a good move on my part.Recently acquired a X-T4, so we get to start over again, but the learning curve won't be as steep as my 1st Fuji , the X-T3. All the best to you & yours Omar & may good health in the New Year be your best gift !.

    This is one of the first Fuji lenses I bought 5 years ago. Even though I later added a 50-140 and the 100-400, this lens and the 18-55 remain part of my everyday carry kit. For 99% or my longer zoom needs, it has definitely proven itself.

    Happy New Year !!! Thanks for all your content. The longest focal length that I owned for years was 56mm. But then I decided to pick up a longer length. I bought a used 55-230mm fuji. I love it for shooting soccer games and when the need arises for other things. I'm sure it isn't as great as the 55-200, but it's a great choice fun for messing around.

    @jamespkuzman ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I bought this lens, sold it to get the 70-300 (which immediately became impossible to find) and ended up with a used copy of the 55-200 again. It’s a gem of a lens that punches way above its weight, and used ones are plentiful and affordable. For a general purpose tele zoom that’s easy to carry around, you can’t beat it.

    Great shots, Omar! And happy new year! That Canon 70-200mm L IS II USM is the first lens I ever fell in love with and showed what good glass means! I just took mine for some head shots at 200mm wide open and to say it's a bokelicious background obliterator is an understatement! The rendering in general is mind-blowing! I shot my first wedding ever with it and just couldn't believe the results! It still shines and performs after all these years! What a marvelous piece of glass!

    @joao.s.cardoso ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have it for some years now. Great lens. I’m considering the 75-300 as an alternative to have a bit more reach because I got a 18-135 and it’s overlapping a bit. Would love to get the 100-400 but that’s a huge lens and would probably stay at home most of the time. Have a great 2023!
