The f2.8 zooms are big but will be top quality. For me, any lens slower than f2 doesn't belong on an aps-c camera. The exception is for super wides.
I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this statement from Fuji's XT-1 page:
The EXR Processor II corrects even fractional blurring at the edges of the lens, as well as diffraction blur caused when narrowing the aperture.
I had an X Pro1 and wide M mount lenses blurred at the edges - one of the reasons (and the god awful AF) - that gave rise to me selling it. Is this functionality that Fuji references meant to address the blurring experienced with wide RF lenses?

Thus only apples to FUjinon lenses with on-board data chips that store the correction parameters.
Yes.. I believe it started w/ the xe2 release, they added correction info to their own lenses.
There is also some correction info for m lenses when u use their OEM m adapter, but I would suspect it was not designed to to do anything that is as sophisticated as what they are doing for their own lenses.

I'm making a tentative approach to my camera supplier to see what I could expect to get for my X100s and the X-Pro1 body as a trade-in. It would depend on the balance left over whether I could afford the X-T1 body. At least I can still use my three prime lenses with the X-T1 so no need to invest in new lenses. The X-Pro1 is a 2012 model and the X100s is only five or six months old an little used.
List them here in the classifieds - might get you more than at the dealers!
That's a good idea. Never thought about that. Cheers.List them here in the classifieds - might get you more than at the dealers!
Not a fan of the XE series. RF style cameras need a VF window to look right (ok, I'm shallow).
