Guess their marketing department works well: they recognize that going from a 3 number price to a 4 number price is a psychological barrier and price (or design) their lenses accordingly. I fear they will probably have to break this trend with their upcoming f2.8 pro zooms, but there is still some a $300 space they can occupy over the 18-55 and 55-200.
You know, with the pricing, quality and the made in Japan stamp, I'm wondering if Sigma has anything to do with these Fuji lenses (or the other way around). After all, Fuji came out with its XF mount at around the same time Sigma changed its design mentality (and marketing, of course, but we can't deny there was a significant increase in lens quality at the same time).
