If there is anything I could wish to be different in the 14/2.8, it's the loose aperture ring. Not a major issue, but it can be annoying to find you have knocked your aperture while getting the camera/lens out of the bag, or while setting up your square filters.

They are improving this on version II lenses. I think, the best way is how it is done in GFX where both "C" and "A" positions are present on aperture ring and lockable. So you can put it into "C" and control aperture from camera. Surprised than only "A" lock is implemented on v2 X-mount lenses.

I am sure this lens will get some update in some time, but I suppose it's not a high priority for Fuji now, cause I suppose this prime now is not really a mainstream. For nearly same money you can get WR, OIS zoom lens... so u know.. probably there way of thinking -- we have been covered here.
