i drive myself crazy...

When I get like that I just give it a few days up to 2-3 weeks. If it doesn't go away, the I start to seriously read reviews, look at online images, etc... If the feeling still doesn't go away, then I buy whatever it is. Life's too short to drive yourself crazy over camera gear.

Now bags... that's a different story. 😀
 
I just talked myself out of the zoom last weekend 😀....

The more I thought about it, as good as the zoom is for Fuji, I would rather stay w/ prime lenses for it. I plan to eventually get a second body, the 14f2.8 and the 27f2.8. That would give me the same setup I had on my two CL setup (21&40).. Total of 5 native x lenses (14, 18, 27, 35, and 60).. Plus two manual rf lenses, Canon rf 50 1.2 and Konica 21/35 (dual - my zoom kind of).

well there goes my 'sure sale'!
lol!
i am a prime guy...the zoom makes so much sense in my head, especially on the x-e1 but...

there is a 60 for sale locally, for $500. that i may see if it's still there tomorrow.
 
I was playing around w/ the 2 CL setup this last weekend... That was what convinced me.. Don't get me wrong, I use zooms, just on the Fuji, I decided to just use primes. Timing is everything...

I'm a no-zoom-thanks-anyway dinosaur.

I don't like it, but I'm just patiently waiting for the XF primes I really want.

Because the Fuji APS-C X system has authentic momentum in the market, buying and selling lenses now isn't a bad idea.
 
been using mine like a 18mm prime (mostly). The lens is wicked sharp. By far the best zoom i've tried and this includes all the nikon zooms
 
Ah, i have tried the 60mm this week-end, it seems to be nice, but i'll wait for the 56mm. In the meantime, i'll just use a manual focus 50mm with an adapter (and perhaps get the 18mm).
