Re: XF 18-55 Firmware version 3.24

I do think there’s some improvement.  The 18-55 isn’t a lens I use often but I’ve owned it since 2015, and have sometimes noticed very occasional IQ issues with it which seem a little more like motion blur than actual focus problems; I know I’m not alone in this and have seen similar complaints over the years.

Recently I’ve been using it a bit more, since the update, and haven’t had those issues come up.  It might be I’ve just been luckier, but I feel like something has changed for the better.

Personally I’ve no buzz, but have every sympathy for those who have.  It’s interesting that the two-file update suggests there is more than one version of this lens internally; that might help explain why some of us are immune.
