Why does Fuji change from f1.4 to f2?

It’s not so much a change but another option. Leica photographers, for example, are accustomed to having a choice between 1:1.4 (Summilux) and 1:2.0 (Summicron) lenses.

According to the Road map the 35mm f2.0 WR was supposed to be listed  after the 16mm  but before the 90mm. The (0mm is being announced next monday so what about the new 35mm ????

 

I think you're looking at the roadmap where 'time' is TOP to BOTTOM.

... and may be confusing it with the one where 'time' is LEFT to RIGHT:

Anyone have a guess on the price for this lens? Trying to set aside the money now! I'm hoping it's not priced higher than the 35mm 1.4 since it's slower and smaller (fewer elements) which would put it around $499 US. Although I could see them marketing it as a more premium product since it's the RF style and has WR, but still hoping for not more than $499.

That would be crazy, of course it's cheaper. :)

 

Though indeed probably not by a lot.

Since the 35mm f/1.4 started at 600$ iirc, I'd say 499$ for the f/2 sounds about right, it can't be 349$ with weather sealing an the "it's all new" factor :)

Yea and the 27mm 2.8 technically is priced at $449 even though its often had for $299-399.

Which I don't understand as I'd buy it for 250€ (max) but not the 300€ (minimum) it costs here. The only Fuji lens that is way overpriced.

 

Heck I paid 370€ for the 35mm, they are in a completely different league...

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By Trevor R · Posted

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
