Your X Lens wishlist


Toon

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

    • It is really easy to find out if the wifi is on. Your computer or tablet or cell phone will have a network settings dealing with wifi, bluetooth, ethernet or “other”. Open that up and go into the section for wifi, and take note of which networks are listed. Turn on the camera and keep watching the list of networks. If your camera’s wifi is turned on, a new network should suddenly show up in your computer/tablet/phone’s network listings. Now go into the camera’s menus and start a wireless connection (the x-app or camera remote app can help you with this). You should see a network show up now. It is not hidden because it has to be visible so that your computer/tablet/phone can join the camera’s network to transfer images. Turn the camera off and that network should disappear. Turn the camera back on and see what happens.

    • I think my Fuji 150-600 F8 is a brilliant wildlife lens in terms of sharpness, portability and value but the small aperture does cause issues at the start and end of the day - even pushing the ISO as far as I dare, I can see shutter speed down to 1/25s - stabilisation isn't an issue but asking a deer to stand still for that is too much! In the same situation, an F4 would give 1/100s so the difference to the success rate would be phenomenal... and that's without the other improvements like shallower depth of field. I also find that the Fuji's subject detect AF gets pretty iffy in low light - I keep updating to the latest firmware but it doesn't seem to get any better. I was originally looking at the Nikon 500mm F4 E but good examples secondhand are still reasonably expensive but like-for-like Sigma lenses are around half the price. Reviews I have read suggest that they are as good optically, AF performance and IS-wise but you gain a few hundred grams of weight (but less than the older Nikon model). For a couple of grand, I can live with that. Does anyone have any experience mounting one on an XH2S? What about with the 1.4 teleconverter? It feels like that is pushing it anyway - hefty lens + TC + Fringer all sounds a bit...wobbly? It is on the Fringer approved list but I am wary about AF speed in particular. I had also considered looking for a used Nikon 400mm F2.8, which would be even faster (and heavier) and could couple with a TC to give 560mm F4 but again, it is that lens+TC+Fringer combination that worries me as being just too many links in the chain. Of course, what I really want is a native Fuji prime but that doesn't seem to be on the horizon - and if you look at what Nikon and Sony are doing, if Fuji do ever bring out a 500mm prime, it will probably be a small, light and cheapish F5.6, which is only 2/3 stop better than my zoom at the same focal length. Any thoughts anyone?
    • The Amazon link is an annoying feature of this forum - its automatic and is applied to every post for advertising purposes. My question was - how do you know the camera wi-fi is on and requires turning off? I would have thought this would just use up the battery for no purpose if you aren't specifically using a function that requires wi-fi.
