Fujifilm lens roadmap

Conversely, the announced 8mm (FF 12mm) just seems too wide to be a mainstream lens.
Also - their zoom lenses aren't THAT hot.

If Sony would up their game on the camera side, they would have a better overall APS-C system by now.

From my experience, Fuji zooms are average at best, whathever Fuji fanboys claim.
Of all the Fuji zooms I have owned, I haven't been impressed by a single one (18-55, 55-200, 16-50, 50-230, 15-45, 16-80). Sure, I haven't tried their high-end stuff, but I find them monstruous and based on reviews, they are too big for what they offer IMO.

Their primes though are a different story.
I really really like the Fuji 35mm f1.4. It's outdated and all, but I find it sharp at f1.4 and love its rendering. And it's very small and light.

Fuji's latest f1.4 trio (18, 23, 33) appear to be excellent and probably class-leading.

Most lenses released by Sony in the last 2-3 years are exceptional, whether APS-C or FF. They seem to have hired the best optical engineers in the industry. Their lenses are small and light with class-leading IQ. If only they were able to manufature fun cameras to use.
I tried a A7III and A7r mk II and really didn't like them.
And Fuji's jpeg are really really nice when one doesn't want to mess around with postprocessing (or doesn't have time).
