Depends. What do you shoot? Are you OK with extreme software correction? Seems like your mind is made up so buy it. You don't need our permission, but I personally would not get it.

The original Fuji lenses were attractive to me because they didn’t go that route. They were optically great. Fuji is doing this now increasingly too.

TBH, not sure on how I feel about that. On the one hand, I would want every lens to be optically perfect. On the other, if the software correction is particularly effective, what’s the issue? Especially At The Price!

The other issue is that the reviews I read, a limited sample to be sure, seem to show the two L ultra wide zooms aren’t that impressive.
