I got my G9 with the 12-60mm F3.5-5.6, l've seen direct comparisons with the F2.8-F4 version and whilst it has some advantages such as the obvious faster maximum aperture, the budget version is also an excellent choice. In terms of performance l could not justify the additional cost of the premium version for my use. That's not to say anyone should dismiss the premium lens, it's more a case of both are excellent performers and neither will disappoint, it just depends on what you need. I may upgrade at a later date but for now l'm extremely satisfied with the cheaper version, its a stellar performer for the price.

That's the key point, being satisfied with your gear and as lots of people forget (inc me at times) the content of an image means everything. I don`t think it`s just the f2.8 that relates to the price difference, I`m quite a fussy person where lenses are concerned and my fairly large stock of Fuji gear is just sitting there because of this set up. I had the Canon 135 f2 and the renowned Canon 85 1.8 before mirrorless and I would put this lens up against them anytime.( apart from the narrow DOF obtainable )

Thanks for coming back to me
