No experience with the 55-200 I’m afraid.
I bought the 50-140 just after I made the switch to Fuji and it became my workhorse. Sold it as I wanted to push myself to only work with primes (16 1.4 / 35 2.0 and 90 2.0) but ended up buying the 50-140 again simply because it’s so good and versatile. Still got all the primes which I really enjoy using as well, eager to see how the XH1 will handle those.
From my experience, I would not get a lens with an aperture higher than 2.8 unless you mostly shoot outdoors or landscape.
I've got the 55-200, agonised over the 50-140 before hand, but couldn't justify the price. Have you used both? Interested in whether the 50-140 should have been the one I chose.
