The proportions are all wrong

The nasty laws of physics being what they are, we now have this. I feel that the small cameras are great but when the lenses are bigger than the cameras it is funny. It just looks wrong.

  Fujifilm has  now officially introduced the Fujinon XF 55-200mm F3.5-F4.8 R LM OIS telephoto zoom for the X system of mirrorless cameras. Notable features include optical image stabilization with a claimed 4.5 stops of anti shake, dual linear stepper motors for focusing, all-metal barrel construction, and superior optical properties . The lens also sports an aperture ring like that on the company's XF 18-55mm zoom. Fujifilm has also updated its roadmap of upcoming lenses to include the XF 56mm F1.2 R, which is half a stop faster than previously projected, and scheduled for release in January 2014. Finally the company is promising firmware updates to improve the autofocus speed of both the X-Pro1 and X-E1, which will be available to download in July. Very exciting no matter what the results may look like to the eye.
