Yes yes yes...buy the lens that fit your work/photographic needs. We all know this, but it doesn't stop us photographers from salivating over other lenses that we might not actually 'need' but rather 'want' for some reason or another. I have this problem and I will eventually find the means/reason to buy them lol. In the meanwhile, here's my wishlist...

 

1. XF16-55 F2.8 R LM WR (want to sell of the XF 18-55 for this)

 

2. XF50-140 F2.8 R LM OIS WR

 

3. XF56 F1.2R APD

 

4. XF10-24 F4 R OIS (pls Fuji...make a WR version for this lens....pls)

 

 

What are some of yours?

probably the 90mm as soon as it's out and then the 120mm 1:1 macro

 

 

That completes the most important things on my list. Oh, and the 16mm as soon as I can get a used one or save a few bucks. Just can't justify 1000€ right now.

I have the 18, 23, and 35. On my immediate wish list are the 14 2.8 or 16 1.4 and the 56 1.2.

 

I'd like to see a smaller 23mm f/2 WR, in line with the 35 f/2. 23mm is my preferred all-purpose focal length, and I'd gladly trade a stop of speed for smaller size and weight. I'd keep both and use each when the situation calls for it.

 

I could kill for the the 10-24 in f/2.8 version.

 

…Oh, 300/2.8 and/or 200/1.4 are on top of my list, too :wub:

My next lens will probably be an ultra wide, and if the 10-24 were a 2.8 (even without OIS), that's what I'd get. I do a lot of event work, and the speed is important to me.

For me, probably the macro and 100-400 are two I most anticipate from the road map. I would probably rather have a 300/4 w/1.4TC but if the 100-400 is at least the image quality of the 18-135 it would be fine for my needs. In the meantime I'd like to see all the f/1.4's (to fill the space between the 14 and 56) in my bag :)

For now I'm just using the 18-55 kit, so I have quite a list.

 

The next two I'm buying:

10-24 ƒ4 R OIS

50-140 ƒ2.8 R LM OIS WR (sadly, unless I score a great deal, I'll settle for the 55-200 ƒ3.5-4.8; still a great lens though)

 

 

16-55 ƒ2.8 R LM WR

56 ƒ1.2 R

35 ƒ1.4R

 

Next Year:
100-400

1.4x Tele

A second body with an 18-135 would also be nice.

In this order:

 

- 35mm f2

- 50-140mm f2.8

- 16mm f1.4

 

I would also like to put my hands on something like the 10-24 maybe  f2.8 and the 120mm macro :D

 

but the sad reality is that I am a poor student by now... so all this in a far far away future XD

I went to fuji for the weight so I'd really like to see that 35mm f2 wr soon, then please 18mm f2 wr and 23mm f2 wr along with an X-E3 wr.

 

I'm pissed that since I got into the system they keep releasing giant lenses for the X-T1... Or macro or crap like that. The world needs quicker, weather resistant lightweight usual focales. People shooting sports and lovely birds that make remarkably forgettable pictures are into DSLRs anyway so please stop with the 18-135mm giant chunck of crap...

Haha well I find it entertaining to add a bit of verve on forums, and I'm always interrested in people that have kind of "radical" point of views and are not afraid to express them.

 

We can all say "I have this and wish I'd have that" one after the other but that's not really interresting now is it? I'd like people to say WHY they want these lens, to do what stuff with it etc. and why they think Fuji should develop something not yet advertised.

    • Hi! Thanks for this comment! Yes, although I'm utterly happy with my X-T50, small, light, sharp pictures, Xapp functioning, I've got to know that the camera tends to emphasize contrast in contrasty scenes. In a way this is strange to me, as X-T50 mostly exposes very well. This is especially expected with photos with foliage. Of course, I would like that the behaviour would be different. When I'm taking travel and such pictures I choose for JPG format (not HEIC, as Mac's Photos opens them oddly very slowly; iPhone's HEICs open fast ...). With JPG I've chosen to use the DR400 setting, but the problem is still there. For "more important" photos I of course use the RAW format. Regards, T.
    • Congrats on your Fuji! Since the receipt is in your relative’s name, they’re technically the original owner for warranty purposes. Some manufacturers, including Fuji UK, may allow a warranty transfer if you contact them and explain it was a gift. You could either ask your relative to make any initial claim, or reach out to Fuji to register it under your name as the recipient of a custom gift. Since it hasn’t been registered yet, it’s a good time to check with them.
    • Hi Dolores! 👋 Nice to meet you. I’m pretty new around here and just starting to dive deeper into the Fuji world, so it’s really cool to hear about your journey through all those cameras! How are you liking the X-T4 compared to the X-T2? I’ve been thinking about upgrading at some point and would love to hear your thoughts.
    • You're welcome! Glad to hear I’m not the only one who’s been through this. 😊 If you liked how the X-H2S felt, it could definitely be a solid option — it’s fast, has great autofocus, and feels really responsive. Might be worth testing it a bit more to see if it matches your shooting style.
    • Great insights here! Light direction really defines how much detail you can recover in shadows and highlights. Backlighting, especially, can easily push your sensor’s dynamic range to the limit. Using a bit of front fill light or a reflector definitely helps, but I’ve also found that combining bracketing with ETTR (Expose to the Right) gives much more flexibility in post. With ETTR, I slightly overexpose to capture as much shadow detail as possible, then pull highlights back during editing — though it’s a balancing act to avoid clipping. Graduated ND filters are also super useful when the sky is significantly brighter than the subject. Thanks for sharing the DR settings guide — understanding how your camera handles Dynamic Range Priority is crucial, especially when shooting high-contrast scenes.
