In your first attempt, you put your text within the signature instead of in the message body. Click "show signature" on your first post.

I have wondered what might be the advantages of using a 18-55 lens on my Xa1. My 16-50 is very sharp so I'm not looking for better image quality. Do the extra features (buttons) work if hooked up to a Xa1? Anyone tried it?

Yes, the aperture ring and switches will work on the X-A1. The primary advantage of the 18-55 is the faster (larger) aperture.
