Well, Other than a new X-T2 with 24mp or higher I'm very happy with my lenses.

I own the Zeiss 12, the 18-55 (outstanding), the 35 1.4, and the 55-200.

I got into the mirror less Fuji in order to cut back on the weight that I was carrying around so these lenses pretty much wraps it up for me unless something amazing crops up.  The 90, 120, none of those light my fire.  Before I purchased the 55-200 I seriously considered the 50-140 but due to the size and weight, I decided to opt for the 55-200 and "put up" with minor annoyances of it missing focus on occasion, and that "are you happy to see me" lens protrusion when racked out to 200mm.   :)

I have an XE-2, current lens are 18-55, 27, 56, 60. I am still on the fence over which telephoto zoom, but leaning towards the 55-200, as much for its smaller size and weight as the cost. Others on my list:

 

18 f2 to complete smaller prime collection

35 f2 "  "   "   "   "   "

14 F2.8 or 16 F1.4

120 Macro with 1.4X converter 

 

Hope Fuji comes out with a 200 prime, F4 would be fine for me

My wishlist:

 

18-35 1.8 WR, for travel use. I travel weekly, so this would be my all time kit.

120 WR Macro, for macro and portrait use.

35 1.4 WR, as general evening walkaround and 'round-the-house lens.

 

All with linear motors please, my 50-140 made me appreciate those :-)

Hi guys!

 

I got:

 

10-24 

 

23 1.4

 

50-140

 

Wondering for fast ultrawide (mean wider than 16mm) something like 9mm, 10mm at least 2.8. Or new 10-24 WR 2.8 kinda.

 

Maybe 23mm WR? (But in a video about 16mm on youtube, guy from Fujifilm Australia said that, there is no problem to shoot 23mm 1.4 in the rain so it`s not a big deal I guess  :) used them abused them, no problem so far)

 

And of course, some sort of ultra fast prime would be interesting to have, smth. like 33 F0,95. It`s possible, optical schemes are already exist so yeah, why not. 

 

Tilt-shift, at least few of them. And fisheye from FUJI, not rokinon etc.

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 exactly those lenses except my 56 is not APD. Really think Fuji doing some excellent lenses. Next step is to make more of them WR.

100-400 zoom and 120 macro

 

The 90 was on it before news of the 120 came out.

 

For primes, I have 14, 23, and 56 so the 120 will fit the progression nicely.

For zooms, I have the 18-55 OIS and 18-135 OIS. The 100-400 will, I hope, have OIS or I will need a much faster sensor or need to consider the 55-200.

I use two combos now:
 

1) XF23 1.4 R + XF56 1.2 R

 

2) XF16 1.4 R WR + XF35 1.4 R

 

Wishlist....

 

XF16 F2 R WR (maybe smaller than F1.4...)

 

XF23 F2 R WR (maybe smaller than F1.4... and I don't think it's much usefull to have so fast lenses for <23mm)

 

XF27 F2 R WR mk II pancake better than actual XF27

 

XF35 1.4 R WR mk II which I love most

 If Fuji make a 70mm f/2 or faster, I'll pre-order one on the day of announcement and pay any price.

 

 

me too.. i'm not sure about the 90mm being to long for me.. i will give it a try.. but again not sure if i will like it.. (just the focal lenght everything other will be awsome i guess)

Hello everyone,

 

New to this forum, but been following the FR posts on Facebook for a long time. I am a big photography buff. I am not a professional photographer; but an academic and a policy analyst who uses photography to aid in my work. I have a huge library of bodies and optics, mostly in retro styling. I know for some of the folks it may sound like GAS or too much money to throw around. Well, both are correct; now couple that with a little bit craziness...and Bob's your uncle.

 

I have Nikon, Canon, Olympus, Lumix, and Leica gear, but we are primarily a Fuji household. I kinda work with a three lenses per body strategy. Following is my current Fuji gear coupled with lenses. I only use specific bodies with those specific lenses, very rarely do I deviate from this rule. I shoot JPEGs only and I have defined two custom shooting formulas (profiles) to each lens, one color and one black & white. There are some pictures of the gear on my 500px (www.500px.com/oterrason) and Flickr (www.flickr.com/oterrason) photo galleries.

 

X-Pro1

- 18mm f/2

- 35mm f/1.4

- 60mm f/2.4 Macro

 

X-E2 (Black)

- 10-24mm f/4

- 18-55mm f/2.8-4

- 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8

 

X-T1 (Graphite)

- 14mm f/2.8

- 23mm f/1.4

- 56mm f/1.2 (Non-APD)

 

X-T1 (Black)

- 16mm f/1.4

- 16-55mm f/2.8

- 50-140mm f/2.8

 

X-T10 (Black)

- Touit 12mm f/2.8

- Touit 32mm f/1.8

- Touit 50mm f/2.8 Macro

 

Still in the household, my daughter shoots with:

 

X100T (silver)

- Wide Angle and Telephoto attachments

 

X-E2 (Silver)

- 27mm f/2.8

- Jackar 'Snapshooter' 34mm f/1.8

- Lensbaby Velvet 56mm f/1.7

 

I have the 90mm f/2 on order, and shall be buying the 35mm f/2 and the 120mm f/2.8 Macro when they are released. I'd like Fujifilm to develop 23mm f/1.4 and 56mm f/1.2 lenses with weather resistance. I think it will also be a very cool if Zeiss comes out with its X-mount trio in weatherized versions.

These are my actual lenses - and my wishlist

 

16mm f1.4 (I sold my 14mm f2.8 to buy it, and love it).

 

I wanted to do that too, but decided to keep both. I think perspective distortion is better controlled in the 14mm f/2.8 when shooting architecture; 16mm f/1.4 is better with organic subjects. BTW, nice pictures.

- 10-23mm f/2.8-4 (eq. to 15-34mm) smaller and lighter then current 10-24 f4

- 16-70mm f/2.8-3.5 (eq. to 24-105mm) similar size to current 18-55 f2.8-4 better with macro abilities like oly 12-40

- 70-275mm f/3.5-4.8 (eq to 105-412mm) similar size to current 55-200 f3.5-4.8

 

All with size, weight and AF speed in mind, water resistant and sharp at all focal lenght even wide open.

Match them with a new sensor XT-2 with 5 Axis in body/dual IS stabilization and I could go anywhere.

    • This is what I found on a firmware update that seems to address the problem. However, firmware version is at Ver. 211 already. As stated above this occurrence only happens using the EVF and at apertures between f2.0 and 3.6. It does not happen using the OVF or LCD. The firmware update Ver.2.11 from Ver.2.10 incorporates the following issue: The phenomenon is fixed that when pressing the shutter button halfway under certain conditions, the live view can flicker.
    • 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.
