I feel the same way...which is why I went with the 16-50 in the kit. If I keep the X-M1...I get a great second body for my Fuji system that I can grab when I want a smaller camera, (will probably use it primarily for single lens shooting, probably mostly in concert with the 16-50...but it also serves as a nice backup should I need it) and I get the lens for $100. If I sell the X-M1 after a week, then I get the lens for like $150-200 and that\'s fine too. Both are far better than spending $700 on a lens I won\'t use that much, even if it is optically better. I\'d rather spend $700 on the 55-200 (which I may buy later this year...)
