Very nice pictures, and you had me sold . . . until I looked and saw the 18-50 has no stabilization. I just use my X-E4 too often in low light, and my hand-holding skills only get me to around 1/60, 1/30 if I'm lucky. Maybe if a possible X-E5 comes with IBIS. I've been thinking about the 18-55, but constant 2.8 is very appealing.

So bump up the ISO a bit. I have no trouble with my unstabilized 16-55 in low light at all. I’d much rather have constant f/2.8 than stabiized f/4. There’s almost always something moving that requires a faster (handholdable) SS anyway.
