I also bought it with that kit lens. It is the lens I use the least. Not really something wrong and I have taken a lot of good photo's with it. I just prefer some other lenses more. The sigma 30 when I'm documenting life, the xc 50-230 when I'm hicking, the xf 100-400 when I'm after wildlife.

Those are preferences and preferences might change with more use in the future.

I actually like that range if focal lenghs for what I do. Lots of cameras come with kit lenses in that range of focal lengths, but with F3.5-6.3, yuk.  The fujifilm is refreshing in that regard.

Any other comments are welcome.

It is a small camera with a very good grip. Even with the good grip, I added a smallrig bottom plate to make it a bit larger. It feels very durable. I bought mine at release and it is still in pristine condition and I use it a lot outside in the elements. I would buy it again.

Very reassuring. Thanks!  I suspect I won't need the smallrig on this, i have hands on the small side.
