You are quite right, of course.  I have paid dearly for the best Canon and Nikon full frame and APS-C lenses, primes and zooms.  I never gave those costs a second thought, even when the cost was in the several thousands of dollars.

I guess I've been spoiled by the relatively modest pricing of any number of excellent mirrorless lenses from Olympus and Panasonic, including the Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 and Olympus 14-42 Mk II ... both M4:3 of course and not APS-C like the X-E2.

Still, it would be great if Fuji introduced some quality glass along the lines of Canon's and Nikon's "nifty fifty" offerings. I hope lenses like that are in the works. Perhaps Tamron, Toking and Sigma are considering jumping into the X-mount world.
