Fuji X-Pro ... lens roadmap - Klaus - 01-10-2012
2012:
-14mm f/2.8
- 18-72mm f/4.0 with IS (Image stabilization).
2013:
- 28mm f/2.8 pancake
- 23mm f/2.0
- 72-200mm f/4.0 IS
- 12-24mm f/4.0 IS

Nice. Although they should forget about the 28/2.8 and add a 70mm f/1.4.

Yep, a portrait prime is definitely missing...

A very sensible road-map. Will you be testing this system?

Of course.

The 60 might do the trick for a while. All in all, looks like a good system if everything pans out like this. Already I need to hide my credit card. The 28 looks pretty useless to me but it's likely a bone thrown to the "PANCAKES!!!11!one" crowd that has become exceedingly vocal of late.

Well, like I said in the other thread... The only things that kind of spoil the fun for me (myself) are:
1) contrast-detect AF only :-(
2)manual focus seems to be done "by wire" :-(
3) no full frame (= not exactly the same effect I love so much getting from 35/1.4 or 85/1.4 wide open... )
4) Kind of missing something like 75/f1.8 or 50/f1.4, too....
Otherwise the design and the whole retro idea & implementation look fantastic, for sure :-).

If it's up to the level of the best MFT cameras, it might suffice.

Wouldn't be a big deal for me, but it's class standard anyways. Nothing is exactly groundbreaking here anyway (we'll have to see how the sensor works out), just a different set of priorities and a combination of ideas that appeal to a very different target group.

Something's telling me not to expect that from anyone for whatever reason. All eyes are on Canon now but of all companies they're the one least expected (to me at least) to go radically out of the box and cut into their own markets. They're the one who practically starved their own non-L non-EFS line of lenses to death.

For a while the adapted lenses have to suffice. I wonder if any AF/AE capable adapters are going to appear. Somehow the name "Conurus" springs to mind.

I hope this camera is not as full of unfixable hardware glitches and omissions as the X100 was reported to be...

Depends. Have you tried one of the latest Panasonics ?

Waitasec... 12-24/4 IS? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' /> ZOMG
The 70-200/4 IS sounds nice though.

So ? The Nikkor 16-35/4 VR has also an image stabilizer. So nothing unique (but seldom).
Personally I would prefer non-IS lenses across the board (and no in-bodys IS) but that's me.
