Indeed, there's still CA with the Fuji 18x (and that's to be expected). CA seems to be a lot less aggressive on the 18x though...
I remember being somewhat dissapointed with this when I had the 18x in my hand for the first time.
Still, a serious improvement over the 16x: wider angle, more crispness at longer focal lengths (I encourage people to make no shots over 50mm or so with the stock lens).
Furthermore is the 16x no real inner focus lens. Using a matte box, you'll squize the 16x too tight, getting the focus stuck.

Yep, it isn't that uncommon. Broadcast wide angle lens 2/3 inch : +/- 35k, SD camera body : 10k-25k.
Not to mension 8k for a 35mm adapter and 10k+ for a 35mm lens.
