The biggest concern I have with newer lenses that are better optimized is that they are BIGGER and HEAVIER. They have more elements in them and are more exotic in design and materials (by necessity) and therefore they are certain to be more expensive.
Maybe, if Fujifilm stops putting IBIS in lenses that are shorter than some moderate telephoto focal length, they can pull back on the complexity and cost of some of the lenses. Since the bodies are all going to have OIS in them going forward (I would expect), I think that is a fair tradeoff for shorter focal length lenses to hold the line on size/weight. Otherwise, one of the advantages of the APS size starts to be eliminated. I know that people will argue that 35mm FF is really no bigger, but APS is certainly a little smaller and/or lighter all thngs considered. It is specifically what I want from an X kit.
We all don't need super high resolution gear. I know that I'd prefer higher resolution over lower in almost every use case that I can think if, but it isn't a necessity for my shooting. My first 20+MP camera was a Sony a900 back in 2009, and it was a great camera at 24MP and it produced fine images that I feel easily held up at 16x24 for full frame prints. I never tried going larger than that, but could probably get a little more out of them if I wanted/needed.
I see 40MP with APS as oversampling through the lens. If the lens is able to deliver reasonably well into the corners (and I will look into this before I make decisions), I don't think I'm going to be terribly disappointed by the results I could get.
It's your money of course but honesty the lenses you are considering for the X-H2 are under matched for the 40MP sensor. Now, the X-H2S with the 26MP stacked sensor I could get behind recommending 100% for the advantages of silent shutter, the best AF and other advantages of a stacked sensor.
Well, this thread have given you due diligence and the rest is up to you.
