Second thoughts on XE1 Kit

Yes, but in another thread I explained why I'd get the kit zoom in the meantime. Nobody knows when the primes will be released, and in the meantime you'd get what appears to be a stellar zoom covering most of the range you'd purchase primes for anyway, at least to tide you over. Otherwise you could be waiting until next April for your lenses to be released.

Only photos of the prototype, and yes, it's a pancake lens!

If you want primes, which lenses are up to you. Frankly, in the Fuji line, the 14mm, the 23mm/27mm, and 56mm would meet the needs of the vast majority of photographers (only those needing a very long lens would be left out, and at some point the 55-200mm lens will be released for them, or they can use a long manual exposure lens with the right adapter).
