I tried the test with my XH1 and my XT3 with the 18-55mm at f18

It does flicker during 1 sec in AFS when you just release the half pres

Moreover it does the same thing with the 18-135mm at 18mm f18

It is noiser with the 18-55mm

It seems it is just inherent to the Fuji system

Bad news so, on other systems doesn't happen, like on my Lumix with all previews on. Maybe the possibility to disable Dof preview can help (like in MF mode), but some x-t2 users noticed it after a firmware update based on the EVF response, and change in sensor image readout maybe.
It's still annoying, the strange fact is that the iris move very fast in MF mode, open and close istantly, I understand the Dof preview in AF-S mode but I can't understand why it's so imprecise with many steps to get into the position it was right before the half press. (this cause the annoying flickering, need to be more precise and faster in the preview, but I have not so much hope considering every single XF lens has stepping aperture problem, even compared to cheaper Lumix lenses)
