I can not see the point of releasing this lens. I own 35 f2 and it is ok.

I also own 18-55, but get 16-50 and use it most of the time, but there I have 16mm vs 18mm and half the weight.

But only the weight is not enough for this replace.

I hoped for 35-70mm f2 or f2.8

What's not to get, it's not about weight really as it's a small lens anyway and same or similar optical formula, it's about COST.

And personally at the entry level, or people stepping up from phone cams, I think they'll be way happier with the difference and "look" of a prime vs a variable aperture zoom.

You don't have to buy the lens (or any lens) for your personal needs to understand why Fuji would make it, two different concepts. There's lots of Fuji lenses I don't want, but I understand why they make them, and who would want them. Same thing here.
