Re: Understanding XC vs XF Lenses for Fujifilm X-E4

XC- Plastic Body and Bayonet, Slower aperture minus the 35mm, No aperture ring. In my experience, they manual focus poorly. (Had the 15-45 kitted with my old X-T100, use the 50-230 for my tele for the moment.)

Fuji says the 35mm XC shares its optics with the XF, just that the housing and coatings are different.

XF- Aluminum body, metal bayonet (Dunno if it's plated brass or steel or what.) Aperture ring, Faster Apertures. Weather sealing on the F2 primes.

The build and the controls on the XF lenses makes them worth it to me, but part of me wouldn't mind trying that 15-45 again. I didn't like it the first time, but that had nothing to do with optics, just handling.
