So ive went and purchased myself one of these beauties. Came with the 18-135 lens.

Im temped to get the xf 60 mm macro prime. Has anyone had any experience with said lens?

@Chris Dodkin definitely has.

Welcome back Allan. We thought you were lost in the woods!

i've got the 60mm, it's a pretty nice lens. not the fastest focusing of the xf lenses, but it produces some nice results.

What Beth said!

I have seen it flare a little when in macro mode, and eventually figured out that I needed to extend the hood in some situations to avoid this. Easy fix with some black paper for when needed.

AF is the slowest of the X lenses - which, given that it's a macro, is not that surprising.

Depending on your use, for macro it's the only real choice, if you're thinking portrait, I'd go for the 56mm f/1.2

Its more for the sort of stuff Beth has posted.
