I got the 15-45mm about six months ago and have been impressed by the quality of the images. It is a nice low-cost 15mm prime for users who don't have something wider than 16mm. I plan to pair my 15-45mm with an X-T100 that is being converted to infrared (590nm) by LifePixel.

My understanding is that the higher-end bodies, such as the X-T2 and X-T3 don't have full firmware compatibility with the lens, so the lens resets the focal length to 15mm when those cameras are turned off. I have used the lens with both an X-T100 and X-T20, and that behavior does not exist.
