Re: XC 15-45mm the only power zoom ("zoom by wire")

I have my 15-45 set to "zoom by wire" so that it zooms like all the other Fuji zooms, but you use the focus ring for zooming, not the zoom ring. None of the Fuji zooms are actually manual zooms.

Unless I`m misunderstanding you, it`s quite the opposite - all Fuji zooms are manual zooms (albeit with _focus_ "by wire", being electronically coupled lenses), where you can manually zoom in/out even with lens detached from camera, while XC 15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS PZ is the only "power zoom" (which is what "PZ" stands for), being "zoom by wire" as you called it, and unable to operate when lens is detached.
