23mm looks better now - more compact. Really looking forward to the 23mm & 56mm!

Is there something new over the last fuji roadmap? If so I'm not seeing it Btw the 55-200 is getting rave reviews.

Yes, they are highlighted in white: the two XC lenses. There is also an unclear image of the final form of the upcoming 23mm, which you can also see better over here: http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital...index.html

 

I've included it in the post, it's the lens on the left.

Yes, the 50-230mm OIS is new - thus an el-cheapo tele kit zoom.

There are two new pictures of the 23/1.4 over at photorumors.com:

 





 

 

That is one good looking lens!  B)

 

They will probably release it at IFA and maybe the 50-230mm, too (according to the lens roadmap).

The rumored price of the 23mm f1.4 is $849.95 http://www.fujirumors.com/fuji-xf-23mm-f...is-849-95/

Now the images of the 56mm f1.2 and the 10-24mm f4 are printed in  http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital...gue_01.pdf . They look pretty big, especially the 10-24mm f4.

Just announced:

56 f1.2 (999$)

 

Upcoming in 2014:

High speed Wide Angle Lens (probably 16mm, since it sits between the 18mm and 14mm)

16-55 f2.8

50-140 f2.8

18-135 f3.5-5.6

 

Upcoming in 2015:

Super Telephoto Zoom lens

 

My impressions:

- The 56mm is not as costly as I feared, nor as affordable as I hoped. The press release doesn't mention optical distortion correction unfortunately, but neither did the 35mm or the 14mm, so it can go either way.

- Fuji still hasn't broken the $1k barrier, though that will probably change with the upcoming high-end zoom lenses.

- Still missing a telephoto prime: something in the 135-150mm equivalent range. It's a classic 35mm film lens focal length, both Leica and for SLR, and one of the best mirrorless lens is found in that range: the Olympus 75mm f1.8.

- I guess the 18-135mm will be weather-sealed and sold as the kit lens for the *rumored* upcoming weather-sealed camera. The timing works and having a Zoom with a large range weather-sealed just makes sense.

- The f2.8 pro zooms will have to be weather-sealed as well: it's the only way to make the upgrade from the 18-55mm f2.8-4, an extremely well reviewed lens, seem worth it.

Called it!

Check this new picture of the X-T1 and the upcoming 18-135mm lens and notice that the lens has "WR" written on it:
