Fujinon XF55-200mm F3.5-4.8 R LM OS in three days!

Yes, the lens is  coming! The short tele option for Fuji X mount. According to the rumors the new XF55-200mm lens has dual linear motor, so hopefully the autofocus speed will be similar to XF18-55mm lens. The announcement supposed to be at April 17, and the release is scheduled for May 2013. The big question is: how much?

The third zoom, wide-angle XF10-24mm F4 R OS is still planned this year. The wide-angle lens does not dual linear motor, but it is wide angle, so it should be a big problem. Actually, I may end up with XF10-24 and XF55-200: I don't need fast autofocus in rainforest, and 200mm might solve the problem of flowers on tree :)

UPDATE: according to the rumors XF55-200mm has four linear motors. Sound like SUV, or FWD :)
