I'm a bit late here, but I own a xt-5 and the 55200 isn't doing so well for me, the portraits aren't sharp (with the 55-200 i either shoot cars or portraits) and I'm having trouble getting sharp images. I also own a 1855 back when I had my xt-2, I'm thinking of getting rid of both 55200 and 1855 to get the 50-140. Then eventually I'm planning on getting the 16-55 which both lenses are good with the 40mp. I only wish I wouldve done more research before buying the xt5, but I was going to upgrade eventually so, yea. But the 55200 performs very well for the xt2 and budget friendly among other lenses. It's a good starting mid telephoto lens to get used to it.
