Re: Anyone use the 18-55 on the Xa1?

I had both 16-50 and 18-55 on X-A1 for awhile. The 16-50 is not slouch, at some settings it's better than 18-55, but overall those lenses are very close in image quality. You get 1 stop advantage, aperture ring, and better build with 18-55. You will lose 2 mm(11%) at the wide end, but I didn't like the distortions at 16mm anyway. You'll gain 5 mm (10%) at the long end, not a big deal either.
