Could you talk more about this lens and why you like it?

My local camera store has a used one for a reasonable price and I might jump on it.

I bought it not long after they first arrived and it was glued onto my camera for months. It's an addictively nice lens (but show me a Fuji lens that isn't).

The MF clutch isn't to everyone's taste (I like it) and it does disqualify AF+MF; really nice to use though and I enjoy the way snapping the ring back puts you straight into MF, no fiddling.

Optically, it resolves exceedingly well with f5.6 the peak of sharpness - my nickname for it is "Clarity".

Nice pilot watch.
