What lenses should Fuji release next?

[IngaLovesFuji]

Hi to everybody!

Fujifilm is company that seems to listen to us, the photographers. That is why I opened this thread, just to make it easier for the guys at Fuji to decide what lenses they should release next. Hopefully they read it carefully. ;-)

 

Personally I am shooting mostly architecture und landscape photography, that is why I would love to see some wide angle tilt-shift lenses. I know that there are adapters out there, so that you can shift full frame lenses on aps-c bodies. However for aps-c  cameras there are no real wide angle options on the market (yet).

 

So, here is my wishlist to Fujifilm:

11mm f4 Tilt-Shift

16mm f4 Tilt-Shift

9-18mm f2.8 WR (no OIS, in order to keep it smaller)

 

What would you like Fuji to come up with?

[Dis]

I require leaf shutter versions of main existing primes. The most wanted are 56/1.2 and 16/1.4. (I use X100s for 23mm and 32mm).

 

Otherwise with 90/2 Fuji has released everything I need.

[Vladimir]

400mm f2.8 (or f4) WR stabilized

[lyncher]

10 mm 2.0 or 2.8 Prime

200 mm 2.8 Prime

56 1.2 with weather sealing

 

 

What are the chances fuji will weather seal there 56 1.2?, i know this is mostly for portrait but i like using this lens outside and WR also protects not just from rain but also dust

11mm f4 Tilt-Shift

16mm f4 Tilt-Shift

 

 

Or an 30mm f2.8 Tilt-Shift which would be equal to the Canon/Nikon in terms of FoV. A good allrounder. The cheapest way to have an TS now would be the TS adapter and a couple of old M42/FD/F-mount lenses.

 

I'd love to see the 100-400mm by Fuji anytime soon. And maybe a 300mm f4 prime.

50-140mm f2.8-4.0 OIS, minimum focus distance of 60cm or less,  preferably a bit smaller and lighter than the 55-200.

 

16mm f2.0, minimum focus distance 18cm or less, size and weight of the 35mm f1.4.

[Dis]

50-140mm f2.8-4.0 OIS, minimum focus distance of 60cm or less,  preferably a bit smaller and lighter than the 55-200.

I'd change f2.8-4 to f/4 in exchange to internal zoom and WR.

[Warwick]

I think there aren't many gaps now, if any, in Fuji's lens lineup for most of the kinds of photography most people do. I think we're down to tweaks and variants now: faster versions of existing lenses, or smaller and lighter versions, or weather-resistant ones. But to my mind there's nothing really missing now.

I'd love to see a 10mm or 12mm f/2 WR lens with focus clutch that is no bigger than the 23mm 1.4. Next would be a 400mm F/4 WR OIS. These would round out my set along with the upcoming 35mm f/2 WR. 

[Tom H.]

An XF18-35 1.8 WR OIS, as fast all purpose lens.

An updated 35 1.4 or 1.2, with WR and fast autofocus.

 

Please, Mr. Fuji?

I would be happy to see a Fuji 70mm f/2 lens. I used to love using my Nikkor 105 f/2.8 as a portrait lens on my D800, and I miss that focal length.

[aceflibble]

70mm f/2 is the one I am constantly shouting at Fuij for. I don't want anything faster, I don't want IS, I don't want macro, I don't want weather sealing, I don't want an apodisation filter. Just a plain, sharp, fast-focusing and light-as-possible 70mm f/2. My Fujis are nice to use for a lot of things, but when it comes to tight portraits, my Mamiya 210mm f/4.5 (rough 35mm equivalent: 105mm f/2.2) beats the Fuji 56mm, 60mm, 90mm and 50-140mm senseless. Even the old and simple Canon 100mm f/2 knocks the Fujis out of the park when it comes to headshots. The moment a 70mm f/2 Fuji lens is released, I'll be selling my 56mm and 60mm lenses and I'll probably finally be able to sell my medium format system, too.

[CRAusmus]

A 12mm 2 or 2.8 in that great Fuji glass with the weather seal for landscape would be great.

[charcoalblack]

I'd like a 23mm f/2.

[Fiatlux]

As Warwick said, the current line-up, together with the already announced lenses, cover most needs. There are several valid options above, but few that would make much business sens I'm afraid.

 

A lens I would not be interested in but could attract newcomers to the Fuji camp is something like a 18-200, perhaps in the XC range to limit cost.

 

Personally, I would like to see an updated 18mm, as this is a favourite focal length of mine. I've looked hard at the current model but the fact that my 18-55 performs better at 18 as refrained me from buying the prime... so far.

16-80 f4

 

http://www.fuji-x-forum.com/topic/684-anyone-else-is-hoping-for-a-16-80-f4/

[Marc G.]

For the sake of a complete system:

 

70mm f/1.4,1.8.2.0 (something like that), maybe macro 1:1

Slower 16/23/56mm options with 2.0 or 2.8

16-70 or 80 with constant f/4 and OIS

16 tilt/shift f/4

Telephoto primes: 200 2.8, 267 2.8, 400 4.0, something like that

 

I think cheaper/slower primes with traditional focal lengths should be added next, the 35/2 WR being the starting point.

[ledes]

Priorities:

 

-35mm 1.0 APD WR.

 

-23mm f 2.8

 

 

No priorities:

 

-16mm 3.5 Tilft shitt

-same 14mm and 23mm but WR

[Fuji_Andy]

75 mm 2,0

[Sella174]

30mm f/3.5 macro (1:1)

 

135mm f/2.5

 

500mm f/8 auto-focus catadioptric

[NorAndFey]

9-18mm f/4 OIS (smaller than the 10-24mm, the size off 18-55mm without expanding. Filter 58 or 62mm)

 

16-80mm f/4 OIS (a little bit smaller than the 18-135mm, atleast shorter in size. Filter 62mm)

 

70mm f2 OIS 1:1 macro (i loved the Canon 100mm f/2.8L IS on Canon fullframe. Filter 62mm)

[Watcher24]

T.b.h., until now it reads as a list of lenses Fuji most probably never will make.

But that's fine! As my Grandma used to say: Don't stop having wishes!

[flesix]

I'd change f2.8-4 to f/4 in exchange to internal zoom and WR.

 

f4 at the wide end would be a no-go for me. I basically have this with the 55-200 now already, though without internal zoom and WR admittedly.

What's the point of having faster wide end? At shorter focal lengths one can shoot with longer shutter speeds. It's the tele end that need to be faster but nobody does that. Constant aperture lets you lock ISO and SS in constant lighting. That's important for lot's of people. 

[BelePhotography]

telephoto prime > 200mm <f4.0 - with OIS - size is not a problem here.
