GAME OVER for the ZEISS TOUIT lenses? No More Touits this year… and maybe not even in 2016!

When the Zeiss Touit lenses for Fuji X were launched back in spring 2013, the Fujinon lens choice was still very limited. X-shooters needed more lens options, and the new X-mount Zeiss glass could have been a great addition… however, there was one major deal-breaker: Read more on FujiRumors: http://www.fujirumors.com/game-over-for-the-zeiss-touit-lenses-no-more-touits-this-year-and-maybe-not-even-in-2016/

No one will pay the premium price for a 32/1.8 when they can get a 35/1.4 for less... But I think it was the Samyang/Rokinon 12mm that really killed them. Let's face it - Zeiss just wasn't living up to the premium hype and price with the Touit line. They are not made by magic Teutonic elves in the Black Forrest - why are we paying as if they were?

i went for the 12mm just because of the 2mm wider fl. i´m really happy with it, cause it perfectly fits my landscape work. but next lens on my list will be the xf 16, just to get this classic 24mm for landscape and a complete weather sealed set with my x-t1.

      Because the sensor assembly is moved electrmagnetically. When there is no power it is essentially free moving.

      Ahoy ye hearties! Hoist ye yon Jolly Roger and Cascade away. NGC 1502 The Jolly Roger Cluster:

      This is the equivalent of 43 minutes, 40 seconds of exposure. NGC 1502 is a neat little cluster located in the Camelopardalis Constellation. This region of space was thought to be fairly empty by early astronomers, but as you can see, there is a lot there. Kemble's Cascade (a.k.a. Kemble 1) is named for Father Lucian Kemble, a Canadian Franciscan friar who wrote about it to Walter Scott Houston, an author for the Sky And Telescope magazine. Houston named the asterism for Fr. Kemble and the name "stuck". NGC 1501 is the Oyster Nebula. A longer focal length telescope is needed to bring this one into good viewing range, but it is well worth the effort.

      55 or 80?

      By BIGOAK · Posted

      Looking for input; there are some decent deals and might want to take advantage to expand my lenses for my 100s already own: 110/2 32-64 35-70 100-200 + TC   Shooting mostly family shots, bringing my kit to capture family outings indoors and out. Tracking the 63/43 effective FLs on the two, but has anybody used both? Would the 55 (covered by two zooms right now) be redundant? Would the 80 be too similar in character to my 110 for portraiture?

      See what I mean? Two instantaneous ads. Worthless.
