  1. Most of my work with Fuji X system get submitted to stock agency. Issue with 28/2 becomes at the point when I have to "pixel peep" every file for chromatic aberrations or (near center) lack of sharpness due to poor quality of image on 2.0-2.8 range (my usual working F-stop with this lens). I would say 75% of images are great with this lens, but I need it to be far closer to 100% as other Fuji primes I have. Again, this is totally nitpicking... Comparing to any other lens system I used i recent years on digital (except Leica, but being manual focus - not classified). My Fuji line up is so much better in performance than prime EOS kit I use to own or large FX kit from Nikon I use now on my D800/D810... Being primarily "wide angle" shooter, my 14,18, 23 give far better performance than anything else. Even Leica M glass I owned (again being manual focus and only used on range finder) did not give me such a high number of "keepers"...
  2. New and improved 18/2.0 please!!?? (With the same size and appearance of the "old" version)...
  3. Like many others, it's "love vs. hate" with this lens: love the size and FOV! Hate that this is the only lens out of all Fuji (primes) line up I have, that I need to watch out and correct in LR when developing files (aberrations, sharpness, etc...). I wish Fuji will update this lens with same size, max. F-stop of 2.0 and improve obvious inferiority to the rest of the prime champions...
  4. Since coming over from digital Leica, I got only used X bodies: two of Xpro1s and recently an XT-1. I was so pleased using XT-1 and (borrowed 50-140!) on my recent stock photography trip. I am keeping XT-1. But, I'm also keeping xpo1s simply because they are great machines for what I do. Just for sake of having a body attached on each great Fuji prime means more than $400-500 CAD I can get on used market... I will eventually get xPro2 (and even XT-2), but not right away. Not being a beta tester for a digital camera company, even Fuji. After the entire debacle with Leica M8 and to the extent each digital Leica body I had after (one of the reasons I gave up on Germas in general), I'm not naive as much as GAS syndrome is in my blood. It's just not worth the grief... I hope xPro2 will be a success "out of the box" with no hick ups and "baby sickness". So, in any case by fall of 2016 (when my target purchase date is) hopefully new camera will be ready for my liking...
  5. Hi, planning to get XF16mm soon. Wondering if it is possible to use filter when new optional hood LH-X16 is mounted? From the photos online it seems not enough clearance for filter to be in place... Feedback?
