I think anyone who is waiting for a Fuji full frame, may have to wait another couple of years.

So what is benefit for full frame vs. cost vs apsc

For me, I can only think of the following feature that ff brings
- better dof
-- never shot razor narrow dof, but u now have speedbooster adapter
- ff lens focal length - a 50 is a 50
-- used to be on my big list, but over the years this one is not as important any longer.. But again speedbooster. But this solution currently for slr lenses only
-- native Fuji or Nex ff lenses are going to be additional expense
- better dynamic range
- better high iso
-- I am happy w/ good iso up to 3200 which Fuji has been able to provide

Given that the possible higher cost of just the body (Sony rumor site saying it could be between 3-4k for the body) plus re-investment for new lenses, I don't c that there will be a lot of people who would go this route IMHO.. But if the price is below 2k for the body, then I can c more people going ff... I would be tempt myself..

Only time will tell...

Just got an email from a guy who's importing these up to Canuckland - I'd buy off him since he's local - $1250 for the 12mm and $900 for the 32mm - pretty reasonable and me thinks that 12mm will be in my future (if that M240 continues to be low production) 😀

Cheers,
Dave

The guy has posted some sample photos made with 12mm and 32mm.

Unfortunately due to high image compression on Facebook and lack of full-size image preview it's hard to tell how good/bad they are.
