This lens is sold in a kit with the new Fuji XE1 camera.
In the box was all the normal stuff from Fuji plus a 2GB SD card containing Firmware updates for the XE1 and XPro1.
I didnt need the firmware as my XPro1 was fully up to date. So a nice 2GB spare card.
The lens hood supplied is a petal hood. Nice and light but not as good as a metal tube as on the 60mm or as neat as the hoods on the 18mm and 35mm lenses from Fuji. Not sure if this is a plus or negative.
The lens when in OIS mode 'ticks' so I have it switched off until such time as I need to use it.
The aperture ring has no markings but the aperture is clearly shown in EVF/OVF so its not a problem.
The lens itself is a joy to use.
Fast focussing. Definitely better than the primes. This is great and now begs the question will these original primes live in their lens bags while I use the zoom more. Frankly this would be a shame but practicality wins. Only time will tell.
The OVF frames zoom very nicely and this will be a winner for me. The EVF just works fine.
So all in all a very good lens from a handling perspective.
Now to go and test out in real life use.
If the lens is as good as reported then I will be extremely happy.
