f1.4 - the 18mm (= 27mm) is f2 and the 60mm (= 90mm) macro is f2.4. The 
whole thing looks and feels right, if you know what I mean. It is almost the 
same as the M9 size-wise, and just a little lighter (body only). In my 
opinion Fuji have really done there homework on this one. The 35mm lens hood 
is metal and square with a plastic cap and marked with the lens size.
