using a zoom would ruin the performance
Zooms don't work on rangefinders, because the mechanics of the camera can't
cope with changing focal length. But a zoom works just fine on a live-view
camera. (I assume the Fuji is live view/autofocus, although I admit that i
haven't followed the story closely.)
