I'll probably get the 55-200 as it means that I have the option to have a camera and three lenses 10-24, 18-55, 55-200 that weigh less than 2.5kg but covers an equivalent of 14mm-300mm FF.
I can then also review where I want to be with my DSLRs. I might cut back to just a D800 and D600/D400.
I know where you are coming from. But I need to convince myself that the X system can take front stage in my photography. Only then would I commit to a suite of lenses. Although its an attractive prospect to have such a lightweight system with such a range, I can't get passed the fact that the XE1 (at least) lags behind DSLRs in speed of use.
While most subjects don't necessarily need rapid response...some do.
Last week I was struggling to capture the decisive moment in some action sequences. I suppose I could have used AFC mode, but with a DSLR (even the slower D7000) I don't need AFC...I can fire predictively and the camera responds.
It's early days for me. The next couple of months will settle it for me as I will exclusively use the X system.
