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...

      gimbals (& threads getting spammed)

      By jshire · Posted

      Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

      A portrait with a 28mm lens

      By DavidJohn · Posted

      This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
