Thanks bowportes, are you using the 16-55 with an XPro or XT1, and if XPro are you using EVF entirely or also using 16-55 with OVF and ERF?

I'm using it with the XT1, but plan to try doing so with the Xpro2 (primarily with the EVF and LCD, I expect).  The reviews on the Xpro2 EVF are mixed, some underscoring that the magnification is less than the X-T1 making it more difficult for eye-glass wearers, while others speak of the faster refresh rate preventing lag in the X-pro2.

Reviews on the web generally speak highly of the X-pro2's EVF unless they are specifically comparing it with the X-T1.  One review contrasted the X-Pro2's standard movie screen to the X-T1's imax screen. I expect that I can do just fine without the Imax... and the optical viewfinder of the X-pro2 has its own advantages.

My thoughts for now...
