I got the XT without the kit zoom for the same reason - not a "zoom" guy.

And then I borrowed one for a long trip, and ...

i ordered the 16-50 and 50-230 from a japan ebay seller for my wife - they are surprisingly good for a pair of lenses that cost $350 plus the $75 i was assessed by customs . Still not a zoom guy but i can see using the 16-50 sometimes ( I'm thankful Henry's had sold out of the XE1 with the 18-55 kit because it got me to buy the XT1 instead and the 2 zooms from japan). My wife will probably prefer using the XT when we go someplace together, I'm easy i love both cameras as long as i have the great primes to use
 
I read in a few places that this was the 1st lens to get when getting into Fuji csc though it is on sale now which makes me wonder if a revision is coming out with faster af. Amazing images shot with this one!
 
This is the lens that keeps me from leaving Fuji. I took it for a walk with my wife and the dogs yesterday hoping I wouldn't get anything good and that would free me to sell the kit. Nope.....it's just too nice. I should have probably stopped it down a step or two to get all 3 in the focal plane. But it's close enough. And if you view it at full size, one can marvel at the sharpness wide open (the white one, Charlie, was my focal point).
