Where is the 35mm f2.0 WR Lens ?

[14KVN]

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 ????

Second half of 2015, according to the current roadmap. Probably in autumn.

Why does Fuji change from f1.4 to f2?

Size (and I hope price)

[Phil]

Size and AF speed. As small as the current 35mm is, 1.4 is still a lot of glass to move around.

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.

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...
