I didn't expected it to be that decent. Best price/performance ratio in the Fuji X lineup.

Yeah, agreed! This is a super under rated lens. It can do it all decently well.

Has excellent reach. Imagine quality is more than sufficient. Light weight, and balances well on small bodies. 👍

I agree in spades to all of the above.

However......one problem is that when it is switched on to close up mode on my XA1, one has to be sure to turn it off when one goes back to regular zoom. It doesn't automatically go back, so any shots will be out of focus.

Not sure about other Fuji cameras, tho my XT10 seems okay.
