FWIW I had a Canon 5D mk3 and 24-70 f2.8 before moving to Fujifiilm about 6 years ago. I went through a lot of Fuji bodies and lenses and in the early days they didn't match the IQ of the Canon but they were much lighter and more fun to use so I stuck with them.

I'm happy to read this.  The whole reason I decided to make the switch to Fuji is the decreased weight and the retro feel.  I agree on the fun factor. When I rented the Xt3 it was fun!

Now I have an X-T4 and a collection of lenses that all match or better my old Canon set up, particularly the new 18mm f1.4. I did have the 18-55mm early on but replaced it with the 16-80mm when it was released and find it much sharper and more versatile (zoom range and WR) and I prefer using lenses with aperture rings.

I do wish the 18-55 had an aperture ring.  Even though I've found out the bad images I took was user error, i still don't think the 18-55 is the right lens for me.  Going from the Canon 24-70, I've realized I really need to spend the extra cash for the 16-55 and a prime or two.  It's what I'm used to.
