thinking about the coming fuji 18/1.4 ?

Like some of the others, it's too big for me.

I seldom use lenses other than the Fujicrons and the 18/2. For me, the beauty of Fuji is an XPro with a small lens.
 
I just had a look and BH has the 1.4/18 on preorder for $999. It annoys me that the lens hood is sold separately for $70. Cheers, OtL

It comes with a hood, just not the fancy metal square hood. Fuji has done this before and I actually like that a premium hood is available as an option.
 
No. In the US. At least with BH it doesn't come with a hood. The hood is optional at a cost of $70. In Ontario the lens sells for C$1,275 + 13% HST. Not sure if the hood is included there. Cheers, OtL
 
This is the plastic lens hood that comes in the box with the !8mm f1.4 lens.

A square metal lens hood is an option.

All the best,

I just preordered my 18/1.8 lens...salesman says it comes with plastic petal hood and for 69 bucks a squared off metal hood is available.

Really? Are we really having this discussion?

The lens comes with plastic hood.

Is this what we want to argue about?

Maybe it's time for me to look around for a more practical and artistic place to hang around.
