Is new XF zoom only EVF?

[Buzz40]

Hello, friends
As I'm about to order an XPro1 and several lenses, I'm wondering if anyone has heard a definitive statement if the 18-55 zoom will be usable with both OVF/EVF or if it will be EVF only. I've only read a lot of speculation thus far. It seems that Fuji should be able to project the variable framelines on the OVF to work with the zoom. Although I prefer primes and OVF for "serious" work, I will be using this as a travel/convenience lens, and will live with EVF if needed, so it won't sway my decision. Anyway, just wondering... ;-)

Well, I just answered my own question. I found the review of the zoom lens on dpreview.com, and they report that the framelines on the X Pro will automatically follow the focal lengths set while zooming with the lens. The optical magnification will still be set manually, as desired.
