Why would you sell the common kit lens here? Most of the Fuji owners already have one, that came with their camera? A deal on the XF 16-55, or the XF 56 would be very interesting! But also super-unlikely I guess ;)

harryxoI get what you're saying, but a good bunch of people may have bought the XC 16-50 and are looking for a higher quality kit. But I agree, would love to see more Fuji lenses - especially a steeply discounted/free 56 1.2 :).

1771711If I didn't already have one, I guess this would be the time to get it. The price is very good. Just hope to see more of this for different models ;) especially the high-end ones, like the XF56 - my wallet is just not ready for the non-discounted prices yet haha

harryxo100%. I check Massdrop daily and the Fuji drops are few and far between, unfortunately. I've only seen this one and the 27 2.8, which I decided to pass on. But I guess it's for the best, I don't need to spend more money on lenses.

1771711True. Which ones do you have / can you recommend? I only have the XF18-55 and the XF35 f2. So I'm planning to get the XF56 for portraits and maybe the XF16 or the XF16-55 for wider stuff.

harryxoI actually only just got into the Fuji system very recently from Nikon (in fact, I still have all my Nikon stuff [holding out on selling for news on their mirrorless - if it's decent, I might want to stick around]). For now, all I have is the 18-55 and the 23 f2. I've been so impressed with the 18-55, I haven't had a need to really buy more quite yet (just have the 23 for the weather sealing). I have rented a few Fuji lenses on-and-off, though (it's free here in NYC if you swing by the Fuji store).
If I stick with Fuji only, I'll probably pick up the 56 1.2, the 55-200, and maybe the 10-24 if I decide I don't want to adapt my wide angle Nikon lenses. I also may end up grabbing the 35 1.4, since they tend to go pretty cheap on the used market. I doubt I'll go with the 16-55, since it's so big (part of the reason I ended up moving away from Nikon in the first place).
