WTB a fuji mid-range Telephoto lens

I have a Fuji X-T20 with just two lenses. One is the lite weight "kit-Lens" 18-50. It's O.K.(nothing special) The OTHER lens is Fujis' 100 to 400mm Tele (and it is great). The X-T20 isA super little camera, and I would like to fill in the mid-range capacity, with a 50-200mm or some such. I would prefer to buy a pre-owned, in order keep the price down. Anyone out there with a fuji lens?? RSVP RJM

The much underrated lens in that range is the XC mount (same as XF) that is focal length 50-230mm lens. EXCELLENT lens, moderately priced. Reviews are very good on this lens. I have one, but mine is definitely Not For Sale. They are plentiful on eBay. Light and fairly compact.

Thank you. I have debated with that or the 50 to 200mm. What do you know of that lens

The 100-400 mm lens has mixed consumer reviews. I have read that it is soft at the long end. Have you found this to be true?

I have a 50-230 mm lens which is a good performer but it is a slow lens at the long end. I do not have the 50-200 mm lens but have thought about it. The other lenses that I have experience with are the 14 mm, 18 mm 23mm and 35 mm - all really good lenses and compact in size. KEH is a good place to find used Fuji lenses. And there is a Fuji marketplace that has a buy/sell/trade area. They have a FB page and you can participate- Fuji X USA

I remember your kindness in the past, as I was buying (or looking at) the fuji camera. I thank you again for your time and input on this issue. I really like the little camera. Your inside & info is much appreciated. RJM
