Is anybody really interested in the Fujinon XF33 f/1.0 lens? From the looks of the prototype, that thing is huge. And it only has an effective FF DOF of f/1.5, so it is not really anything exceptional.

Zero interest for the 33, but the 16mm 2.8 may intrigue me! One of the reasons I like Fuji is that at least some of their lenses are a reasonable size...

unless it's a complete dog (doubtful) i plan on getting the 16/2.8 and i think it might become my almost always lens.
no interest in the 33 at all...but look forward to enjoying viewing some of the images made from it.

Nope, not at all... I just don`t get it. Huge for APSC which is something that does not work for me. It`ll probably cost as much as a used 24mp DSLR and a 50mm 1.4.

put me down in the not really interested column.
i would have preferred a refreshed 35/1.4 with new AF motors.

Nope.
It’s too big and heavy.

Not for me but it's good that they've got something for everyone.
Their next priority should really be improving the overall performance of their lenses, especially the oldest ones. Uneven performance had been holding the system back since day 1.

Sure, on day 1, but what is the issue now with the latest lenses and bodies?

We all know that on the same body, the 35/1.4 (and the not-so-common 60/2.4) focuses notoriously slower than newer lenses. Even later lenses like the 23/1.4 focuses a tad slower than say the 23/2. Those with LM are generally faster. Newer cameras close the gap a bit but even the X-T3 cannot completely eliminate it. This even applies to the GFX system: the LM zooms are much faster than the vanilla 63/2.8.
This is what makes people hesitate to say "Fuji has solid autofocus". The first three primes need a version II. The 18/2, a optically weaker link in the lineup, may even need a new formula. Whatever should be done.

An adapted 55mm 1.2 with Speedbooster seems like a better option. Both price wise and functionality.

Ok, I understand now and agree.

This^^^.
I'm really only interested in the 16/2.8 as long as it's as the image quality is on the same level as the Fujicrons.
