Hi,

I currently own a X-E2, plus the XF 18mm f2 and the XC 50-230 II.

My question is if the X-T20 will focus faster with these lens, specially with the 50-230 II.

For the 18mm i honestly don't care much, as i use it for street / family / Landscapes, so, apart from indoor low light, i don't really need any improvements.

It would cost me 500EUR (sell X-E2 for 300EUR and buy X-T20 body for 800EUR), so apart from all the other enhancements on the X-T20, if there is no gain in focus speeds with the lens i currently own, i see no point on exchanging.

The alternative is to get a 2nd hand Canon 700d (300EUR) with a telezoom (100EUR for a used 100-300 USM) to cover that, while selling the 50-230 for sure as it would have no use (probably will spend the money on a 35mm 1.4....

Thanks for the help!

I just tried my 50-230 on both of those cameras and it is faster on my X-T20. I only tried it at 230 fl and not very bright light
