I am sure you've all found this already, but as no-one else is awake yet, I get to post it:

Fujifilm XF Lens roadmap

Tempting, tempting.
If any of these come with the dazzling quality of the 35mm/f1.4, I'm probably going to bankrupt myself...

There is ticky called Fujifilm X Mount Lens Road Map 2012-2013
Did you bother to look their?

I've been missing my 23mm lens with my X-Pro1, it keeps me using my X100. I wonder if I'll be tempted to buy it, f/1.4 is really nice. The 27mm pancake is a really interesting lens too, I wonder if it will really be that compact when released, as they say the 2013 lenses are not actual product photos. I guess I'll wait and see what the prices are like. I could see myself selling my 35mm f/1.4 and buying both the 23mm and 27mm, as long as the 27mm is around $400 or less.

I'm actually realizing now how much I need that 23mm. I have the 18 and 35 and I use the 18 all the time and end up cropping a lot

I really want the 23 and maybe the 56. I was all set to get the 14mm in the fall, but with the 10-24 at f/4 and the 14 at 2.8 it will come down to size. Now if the 14 had also been an f/2 like the 18 I would have been all over it.

I second that. Was trying really hard to use the 35 but fall back to the 18 instead.

I think for this size of lens, it will either be zoom with variable aperture or prime with fixed aperture. Depends on needs and ability to stomach the drop in quality in zooms. but the 24(35) will hit the sweet spot.

@RogerRabbit - the stickies have always been invisible to me, hence I'd never seen them. The 4 of them appeared at the top of the discussion at some point later today. No idea, could be my browser.

Aidan

Ah, just worked it out. The stickies are common to ALL fujixseries.com discussions. I only ever look at X-Pro 1 discussions, where they don't show up....

One thing clear is that with the various zooms they will try to cater to a wider audience. I wonder if they will make a lower entry body as well to try to compete with m4/3 and DSLR?
