The compact f2 lenses are very good and they keep enough market share open for fast, high-end lenses. Actually, to have two series of prime lenses, one compact f2 and a faster, higher IQ, and more expensive one is perfectly serving different markets. But right now, you have to accept quite some disadvantages when going the fast line: slower AF, noisier AF, missing WR. As if BMW would sell fast high-performance cars at a hefty price premium with sluggish and noisy steering. Entirely unacceptable. If Fuji likes to continue selling the more expensive x-series cameras as a serious contender competing with DSLRs they need high-end sub-f2 primes that are worth the price premium in any respect. Thus, Fuji, produce as fast as possible three new primes: 23 f1.2, 33 f1, 56 f1.2 with fast, silent AF, WR, (manual focus ring and OIS).
