If it is true that it will cost only €399 this will be enticing for many of us to buy it.

 

I’ve sold mine, the 35mm 1.4 for not much less than that, in as good as new state, after a little more than one year. That lens has a theoretical price of €549 in the NL.

 

But in reality when bought it in combination with a camera, its price is seriously smaller than that. So, if you buy a XE-2 with a body price of €699 you pay €1039 with the 35mm 1.4, bringing the price of the lens to only €340.

 

So I should expect that this lens might cost €399 on its own and a lot less if sold with a camera that they are either trying to get rid of or to promote. The kit of a WR lens with a non WR body like the X-T1 would make little sense but maybe it will be offered or the last of the X-E2 bodies will go for sale at a slashed down price.

 

Either way this is very promising especially for those, like me, who are not hand up on having a lens a little more light efficient than another.

 

Another thought.

 

If this is the price, sell your old 35mm as soon as you can because prices will be tumbling down as soon as the other comes onto the market.

That is over $50 more than I just paid for a brand new 35 1.4. 

I thought they would be less.

Boxed lens only or bundled with a camera? I've paid approx. 233 EUR for my XF 35/1.4 as a kit (with X-T1 and 18-55/2.8-4), but regular price is twice as much.

Don't forget this is a completely new lens and it's price tag includes "early adopter tax".

Hmm, just under £300 in the UK at that price, so maybe a bit cheaper for 'real'? Still, that's an ok price I guess, and if the focus speed is improved much over my 1.4 I might just sell my 1.4 and get the new lens. If it weighs less than the 1.4, even better, although physical length doesn't look to be that much different.

Obviously prices vary greatly, abroad  unfortunately they don’t in the Netherlands, all shops seem to always use the same tuning fork ( to the penny!) buying in other countries is a possibility but only if within Europe otherwise any savings will be used to pay the VAT (21%) at entry or shipping charges and the mysterios fee for “ handling through customs" , besides international guarantee is one year ( and they are always fussy about it) while national guarantee in any country of Europe is at least 2 years and my shop offers 3 to 5 years sometimes.

Some women say that girth is much more important then length :-)

 

Retail box brand new from B&H. Digital Rev currently has them for $409.

 

EUR price might include VAT (15-27%, AFAIK), that makes a substantial difference.

I am new to this forum. I have never heard of Digitalrev. Are they reputable..ship to US. I am thinking of ordering the 35 1.4 from them...

Thanks for input

 

I have some good experiences with them. They provide their own U.S. warranty if a company won't cover a problem. Sometimes their shipper DHL will send you a customs bill after the fact, but DigitalRev will refund the same amount back on your card if you let them know, then you can forward the amount to customs. 

Really good pricing on a lot of the Fuji stuff.

      How to turn OFF the wifi antenna

      Does it use wi-fi when you are not specifically attempting to transfer files?

      How to turn OFF the wifi antenna

      By Rupal · Posted

      Hello dear Fujifolks - I come from 54 years of shooting Nikon cameras, and this is my first Fujifilm experience as I've just sold my Nikon D7200 in exchange for a tiny but endearing X-T20. Very pleased with it as it's so lightweight, but very well built. But takes some getting used to the menus and settings after Nikon's DSLR functional simplicity ! I'm working on it though and slowly coming to terms with the new system. My question for now is this: is there any way to turn OFF the wifi antenna in the camera ? I'm particularly wifi signal sensitive and have no intention of using that function as I do all my editing and printing on my PC. I've checked the wifi menu options but cannot find a simple wifi ON-OFF selector. Thanks for your help and I'll be back with more Q's when needed. Blessings to you all...

      pocket wizard and XT5?

      By LBAbrams · Posted

      Has anyone successfully used pocket wizards with an XT5? I cannot get it to fire.  Do Fujis and pocket wizards get along? Thanks in advance for your wisdom on this, kind readers!

      Grzegorz, Go to the Networking Setting in your camera menu (the last one at the bottom - unless you have a My Menu then that is the last one). There, go to Network Setting and choose the SSID (name) of your WiFi network, type in the password, choose "SET". If you have a functioning DHCP server on your network, the camera should get its IP address (and Subnet_Mask and Gateway). If not, you can enter these manually. It is a little tricky, there will be some zeros already here, move the cursor after the zero and use DEL to delete it and make space in the input fields for your own correct values. If you do not know what to enter, have a look at values in the network settings of your computer and use the same except for the IP address, try some fairly higher number, hopefully you hit an unused one. Usually the values would be something like IP: 192.168.1.188, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1  or something like that, take clues from your computer. The camera and computer must be on the same network. Then in Connection Mode on the camera, choose Wireless Tethering Fixed. And half-press the shutter to exit the menu and get in shooting mode. The red LED should be blinking. If you can look at your network devices, e.g. on your router, you should see the camera there. You can see check the camera settings in the camera menu in the INFORMATION item of the Network Setting menu to see the MAC address of your camera and look for it in the list of devices on your network.  Then use the tethering in your software, e.g. in Capture One. The camera may not show immediately, take a shot and then it should show in the list of available cameras. Good luck. Report back how did you fare.  PS If you have a Windows machine, you need to have Bonjour installed and running. Macs have it.

      X-T30 II Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display viewmode not working

      By grizzski · Posted

      Hey all, I just got my first camera. The X-T30 II. It seems the Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display view-mode is doing the exact same thing as just the Eye Sensor view-mode setting. Any ideas why this is or what's supposed to be happening? Firmware Version: 2.04
