There is no image of the lenses yet but you can really preorder them! What’s missing is the camera but it’s coming on Monday at 9pm. So you really don’t have to wait a lot!

Here is the image of the leather case and flash via Photorumors:

  1. Wow the prices are way cheaper than I imagined. That French article has the body+35mm F1.4 pegged at 1300 Euros. They have the lenses listed as 600 Euros. Now the 60mm lens costs $600 USD. That probably means that the Body+35mm will be $1300 USD. That’s only $100 dollars more than the X100!

    I wonder how good these lenses are going to be given that top quality APS-C sized glass easily goes over $500. Remember, these lenses are built with metal and have manual aperture controls so that just adds to the cost.

    Whatever the case, at these prices I think Fuji is going to sell tons of these. I hope they are able to keep up with demand, unlike the X100 which was difficult to get for months.

    Based on rumors that the X100 was a testbed for the X-Pro, I’m guessing that Fujifilm learned that they have something special in their hands and they are going to make money on volume and hence, they are going to keep up with demand. Or I can only hope.

    It’ll be interesting to see what other lenses are going to be announced. If they announce a zoom, I’ll have no need for the X10.

  2. That flash looks pretty customizable but if it doesn’t bounce maybe the EF-20 would be more suitable as a fill flash for my purposes (shooting inside small rooms).

  3. That flash ( right side of the picture ) is hideous, reminds of Olympus FL-14. Obviously, there’s no flash in body. This one’s a no-go for me. Lens prices are fine, but there should have been some 3x kit zoom option that would reduce the camera price below 1000 USD.

    1. This camera isn’t targeting those who would be interested in a 3x kit zoom.

      It really looks like a worthy successor to the Contax G2, my favorite camera.

    2. It may be hideous in that it is not powerful or with much function but it is very compact and reminds me of the Contax flash (don’t know if any Contax user actually used them. All Contax sets sold are “mint”).

      I like it. Could be cheaper though! 🙂

    3. Good that they have other flashes for sale, this one seems to be for basic needs – can’t see any tilting/rotating possible. This system looks promising, will probably sell my X100

  4. I am seriously thinking about canceling my nex 7 preorder and going for the fuji instead…..have been waiting since August on my body/lens combo and there still aren’t any interesting lens announcements from Sony, maybe its time to jump ship

      1. I’m wrong, it is 39mm, but is a recessed thread on the macro lens; but it also has a a second outer mount for a lens shade and possibly a 52mm filter(??).

  5. Now the question is how will these new lenses perform on largest apertures, this is where Leica wins. All f/1.4 Leica lenses are sharp at f/1.4. If Fuji manages this at least for that 35mm lens they will win this. X100’s lens is brilliant from f/2.8 I find it a bit, tiny bit, soft at f/2. If this new lens is sharp at f/1.4 that would be improvement of 2 stops. Just search Flickr for combination of Nex and Summilux 35 f/1.4 – breathtaking.

    1. Summilux prices (new if it can be found or even used) are for fondlers who are a dying breed due to sheer age- sorry, there is no other way to put it. It (the price) is not for any photographer- be it casual, serious or professional. That simple.

      1. but i still believe that maybe the prices for Leica are not justified but even if they do cost half the price they would be worth it. 35mm f/1.4 lenses are expensive either from Canon or Nikon, it’s more than £1000. Leica glass is sharp on largest apertures and has really nice creamy bokeh – i think that’s why they cost so much but I agree that it is way too much 🙂 If Fuji nails these large apertures then they have a winner. I just don’t believe that it’s possible in this price range (~ $500).

        1. You forget that for an APS-C, the 35mm lens is not a wide angle lens but a normal lens. Given that, fair comparison would be the 50/1.4 Summilux Asph (again atrociously priced, if it can be found) and the corresponding 50/1.4 lenses from the other brands. Fair pricing from Fuji but it is not cheap!

          1. my point was related to summilux 35 f/1.4 on APS-C cameras. if you search flickr for combination of summilux and nex you will get some very impressive results. you will never get the same DoF on cropped factor like on full frame, steve huff has really good write-up on this subject – worth checking out

  6. Shame nothing on UK amazon yet. Would like to know how much these lenses will cost in the UK. I bought mine X100 in August for £899 in high street shop, US price was $1199 – correct me if I’m wrong. If they retain similar ratio for this new model, I might be able to buy it in April
