Does it make sense to get a body just for one lens?

Personally, I like the X-T2. They are available for lower prices second-hand. I don't think you can really go wrong here. The output equals FF when viewed full screen. Of course, pixel peeping, shooting bricks / lens caps, 5 stops shadow lifting, ... may give different results, but why would anyone want that....

Yeah unless you need video (not that the X-T2 has bad video, it does have decent 4K and 60 fps HD and f-log etc - just not the latest and greatest) or IBIS you get the same build quality and pretty much same image quality for aprox £400 - £500 low shutter count mint condition.

Put the rest towards dream holiday or a nice prime lens.

Really is an amazing all rounder camera. So engaging too

True, no IBIS! Mostly, I manage with tripods and flash. That's OK, because it pushes me to find work-arounds.
