Been shooting with the XA3 I got a while back and didn't use much. It's a slow camera, but I like the Bayer IQ and the kit 16-50 is the sharpest kit I've ever used (besides maybe the Olympus 12-40).
The 7artisans 25/1.8 is also great - pretty good close-focus and I really like how it draws.
Here are a couple early shots with my $200 challenge. The entire camera package I’m using cost me $200 (well, $202). Fuji XE1 ($100), Lens Turbo ($49.99, eBay mismarked), 50/1.4 AI lens was $35, card was $15, strap was $2.
These shots are SOOC, all processing is done in-camera. I prefer the look of using an actual yellow filter, over using a b/w + y software filter. Still working out camera settings. If you click through, I have the full resolution images from the camera so you can judge edge sharpness (which seems pretty damn good). All shots are handheld...
