    I was looking for something a little wider than my X100T and X-T1 with the 18-135. I didn't want a wide-angle prime and didn't want the expense/no OIS/size/weight of the XF 16-55, so bought a used XC 16-50 for $199 including hood and caps, in "like-new minus" condition in KEH's rating system. I thought it might serve for occasional use when I wanted the 16mm length, but was pleasantly surprised to find this little guy is a very nice lens in general once you get past the plastic and lack of switches and aperture ring. I believe it is substantially better in every way except build quality than the 18-55 I sold when I got the 18-135. The sharpness and color/contrast for landscape work is outstanding, and the OIS seems to work very well. I don't see much in the way of comment about this lens; maybe everybody who got it as a kit lens sold theirs?

    dickbarbour got a reaction from jeremyclarke in Firmware not the same for X-T1 and X-T10?   
    I was under the (apparently mistaken) impression that FW 4.0 brought the X-T1 up to the latest functionality as represented by the X-T10. I was just watching Damien Lovegrove's comparison of the two cameras (see Fuji Rumors section of this forum) and he mentioned being able to control ISO using the front command dial with the X-T10. I don't see any way to do that with my X-T1; I get the same old aperture or shutter-speed choices for the front and rear dials. I would very much like to be able to do this, as the locking ISO dial is my only real gripe with the X-T1. Am I mistaken about this? If not, I wonder why Fuji hasn't made this flexible option available on the supposedly top-of-the line X-T1?

    Bob,
    Nice pic and my sentiments exactly. Here's a sample of my first day trying this lens on my X-T1.

    I get very frustrated with statements like this. Many of us are getting absolutely fantastic image quality from LR or ACR with Xtrans sensors. Have you tried the latest version of either one?
