The lens sold with the X-E5: a 35mm-equivalent view in a 23mm-long, 90g pancake, weather-sealed, with an aperture ring. It keeps the camera pocketable. Buying the camera too? The X-E5 kit comes with this lens.
A slightly tighter 40mm-equivalent view in an equally flat lens. A natural street and everyday focal length.
The classic 50mm-equivalent lens with soft, glowing rendering wide open. Small enough to stay balanced on the X-E5.
A compact 27mm-equivalent wide-angle for travel and interiors that still fits a jacket pocket on the X-E5.
Screws onto both pancake lenses. The 1/8 strength softens highlights and adds a gentle glow without making photos look hazy.
A 100cm nylon climbing-rope strap for neck or shoulder carry. Fits the X-E5's strap eyelets.
A slim wrist strap that cinches down when you need it and quick-releases from its anchor when you want a neck strap instead.
The X-E5 has a modest grip. This adds a proper finger hold and an Arca-type quick release plate for tripods, with a soft shutter button included.
Slides into the hot shoe and gives your thumb something to hold. Small enough to leave on all the time.
Screws into the X-E5's threaded shutter button and gives it a taller, more defined press.
Two spare batteries and a charger that does both at once over USB. The X-E5 gets about 310 shots per charge, so a spare is the most useful thing to carry.
A fast UHS-I card that handles 4K video. The X-E5 slot is UHS-II, so a UHS-II card clears long bursts faster, but this one is plenty for everyday shooting.

Menu names and descriptions follow the official X-E5 owner's manual. Starting values in the simulator are typical defaults and may differ from your camera. Recommendations are mine.
The X-E5 picks its exposure mode from where the aperture ring and shutter dial sit, like a film camera. Set them here to see which mode you're in.
