Is AF performance different between 77 & 273 AF points? Or is it purely a matter of allowing you more or less selectable AF points but the AF performance is exactly the same either way.  You're not going to get any faster, more accurate AF or tracking with more AF points, will you?

People seem to have such strong opinions on lenses. Somehow if you detect any lack of  sharpness at the edges the lens is sh&^%. This is just silly. This lens is wonderful and given its size its a great match for the pro2. I'm really enjoying it. I also have the 16mm 1.4 which many claim to be the best fuji lens out there. I agree but I can take shots that are just as pleasing to me with this lens and it is much less conspicuous. Not to mention lighter.

Lots of people come to this forum because they have some kind of problem. Think most of the time it is user error, but some times it is a real issue. The same happens on other forums I do follow. So you tend to have a high problem to no problem ratio.
 
I really like my P2 and have no issues with it.

I totally agree. I use Flickr also to look at what pictures a given lens has taken. I'm not looking so much for quality as much as an idea of what a lens is typically used for by the community.

When I am considering a lens, one of the places I go is to Flickr and look for people who shoot the lens, then I spend quite a bit of time looking at their photos taken with that lens...https://www.flickr.com/photos/spyrospapaspyropoulos/
 
As far as I can tell, every time Spyros shoots his Fuji, he shoots it with the 18.  His style may not be what you like, but look at his photos, the 18 is an impressive lens for it's price, and it's size only adds to it's appeal.
 
At any rate, this method is one of the best for researching purchases in my opinion...

If you adjust iso constantly and you don't like the pro 2 setup don't buy it. That's my advice. Personally I like it but iso is not something I feel the need to control much.
