Nice post! I have always been tempted to get the 60. That and the brick are the only two prominent XF lenses I don't own. I think I'm about to buy the brick, but won't buy the 60.

I would if it were 1:1 macro. I have 60 fairly well covered with the good old 18-55, 50-200, 50-140, 50 F2, and 56. Well, sort of -- you get the point.

But nice shots and it is a fine lens. I think Fuji missed on that lens. They had a chance to make it great. They need a lens around 60 with WR, newest focus motor, 1:1 macro, and 2.8. They could do it easily if they wanted to.

The 60 tried to be something it is not. But it is a very fine lens and I almost bought it. Fuji glass always has great IQ. That's for sure. All of them.... Especially the primes. There are no primes dogs.

I'm happy with mine, but a version 2 with 1:1 and WR would be a great thing.  And a focus limiter. Come to think of it, are there any refreshes of XF lenses?
