At high iso, I do see less color noise natively in the X-Trans raw files than I do in those from my E-M5, but I've never worried much about color noise, as any competent raw converter should be able to get rid of it. And in fact I almost never use luminance NR either, preferring a bit more grit and detail to the mush NR so often makes, or to the artifacts NR plus sharpening produces. At 3200, I find the raw files from both cameras perfectly acceptable, something I can work with, in other words, though it is undeniable that the character of the files are different. Some have much stronger preferences one way or another than I do. But even though I can use the X-Pro to 6400 and get a good shot, I usually use the E-M5 in low light for its greater responsiveness.
But I am a big fan of Foveon and the DP2 Merrill, too, so take it from whence it comes.
As for the lens of the OP, to reference a line from Priscella Queen of the Desert, "If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: No More F --ing Zoom Lenses" (Abba, in the original)
