I've got my eye on the Fuji X-T10, which reportedly will sell for $799 body-only and $899 with the XC 16-50 II zoom, at least in the U.S. I already have the Mark I version of the XC 16-50, as I do the original XC 50-230 - both lenses great bargains at their price.

So, my question is, has anyone had a chance to play with the Mark II versions of these lenses, particularly the 16-50? If so, do you have any real-world feedback and can you compare it to the Mark I? I'm trying to decide if I should go for the X-T10 body-only or if the new version of the 16-50 is worth the extra $100 to me.

BTW, I have all of the original, first-generation Fuji primes: the 18, 27, 35 and 60mm. None have weather-resistance and I don't expect to be buying any of the more-expensive newer primes (or zooms) anytime soon, so the X-T1 doesn't make that much sense for me right now. Unless it goes on sale at half price, of course. :)
