New Roadmap is looking interesting

[NicoM]

Fuji has been really good about completing their lens lineup. It looks like we might see a 24mm equivalent lens to round off the prime and a couple of pro 2.8 zooms for those who need the versatility of the zoom.

The extensive lineup also shows how committed they are to the APS-c format. Hat off to Fuji!

What do you guys think?

Nice. There is a tele zoom too.. I wonder what the zoom range will be. Wish there was a fix focal length 135f2.8.

6 new lenses on the roadmap.. The 56f1.2 announced.

nice to see they have two tele-zooms also available.

thats quiteimpressive considering fuji is doing it all practically single handedly. Zeiss is not even updating the firmware on the x mount touits for pdaf and LMO, and their focal length selection was mostly aimed at NEX anyway.

Sony and Canon mirrorless native lens selection is crap by comparison, m4:3 has an impressive lineup but it took a joint effort by half the lens makers on the planet to populate it. I'd love to see them all join the x mount, particularly CV.

M43 is a mature lens line up due to a lot of years of hard work from Panasonic and Olympus. W/ third party vendors doing a good job of filling in.

Fuji has practically gone it alone. To me their native lens line up is just a good though limited currently. Their roadmap shows to e that they have thought it through in terms of pushing the critical ones out there.

Just MHO.

Well, the zooms cover from (35mm equivalents) 15mm to 345mm and even more with that super telephoto lens. We have 21, 28, 40, 50, 85 and 90mm prime lenses (with a bit of rounding); the only classic Leica focal length missing is a 135mm. We'll probably even have a fast 24mm; ask Canikon users how many APS-C wide angle primes lenses they have.

With the announced superzoom and professional-grade zoom lenses, the only thing we are really missing in the line-up are medium to long telephoto prime lenses and 1:1 macro lenses, though the Zeiss 50mm is probably going to be one, as well as specialty lenses that will probably not be made due to lack of sale volume (super-macro, fisheye, tilt-shift).

By the end of 2014, Fuji will have very little to envy from other mirrorless system or APS-C DSLR.

some mockups of the lenses ... i find it peculiar how fuji are all over the place with their filter sizes. marco in that thread has posted the following:

14mm 2.8: 58mm
23mm 1.4: 62mm
27mm 2.8: 58mm
35mm 1.4: 52mm
56mm 1.2: 62mm
60mm 2.4: 39mm

looking in to the zoom

10/24: 72mm
16/50: 58mm
18/55: 58mm
55/200:62mm
55/230:58mm

and looking at these mockups (if they are correct)
16/50 2.8: 77mm
50/140 2.8: 67mm
18/135 : 67mm

All my x-lenses have 52mm filter. 🙂
