Fujirumors reports that there will be a Fuji global announcement on June 27th regarding future XF lenses for the Fuji X Pro 1. This sounds more like a new lens roadmap announcement more than a real lens release. Anyway we alreayd heard rumors about possible lenses:
Rumores lenses for 2012:
-14mm f/2.8 (or f/1.4!)
– 18-72mm f/4.0 with IS (Image stabilization).
Rumored lenses for 2013
– 28mm f/2.8 pancake
– 23mm f/2.0
– 72-200mm f/4.0 IS

Dear Fuji friends mark that day on your calender and let’s hope there will be some REAL lens too! 😉

Hmmmm dammit fuji. i may need to open my wallet again!
the 14mm f1.4 is interesting, but i have no idea what it can be used for…
A 14mm 1.4 on an X Pro1 is just stupid. With a 14mm lens there’s almost unlimited depth of field even at f1.4 and with the lowlight performance of the Fuji all that the large aperture is gonna give you is size and weight.
Why this obsession with large apertures where it just doesn’t make any sense?!
Pretty sure it’s a mistake. 1,4 is just no sens…
Yeah, just as Leica 21mm F1.4 makes no sense at all…
F1.4 would be very useful for available light street and indoor photography.
ok, sure, but what it the price and the challenge to build it ? I don’t think Fuji will do it, but if it does, and at reasonnanle price, ok… Even the 2/18mm is not optically a success…
Bashing speculation now, are we? I really doubt it will be f1.4 but we’ll see.
Make a great 14/2.8…
– 28mm f/2.8 pancake
– 23mm f/2.0
I can’t wait…
Bravo Fuji!!!
No way the 14mm will be f1.4, at best f2 and I even doubt it.
The 18mm is f2 and not optically great…
Anyway, it’s growing into a nice set of lenses, that might soon need an xpro-1 successor to accompany them…
A bit out of topic but did anybody ever reviewed the video quality of the x-pro1 ?
nope, most of the reviews just ‘mentioned’ that there’s a video but nothing really to speak of
