Thanks for posting the link. Think I'll be picking one up as soon as it's released. So glad I held off on the 14mm now.

Personally wouldve used a much longer FL than that for the snake shot!

A lot cheaper than the Leica M and 35mm I was on the verge of buying

 

[AdamTudor]

Haha!! Will see what price the likes of panamoz etc have it for I think

I love my 14mm lens but I might replace it with this

Does that mean that people in the UK aren't getting done on the dollar/yen to sterling conversion for a change? If it's like any of the other Fuji lenses I've used, then that's a decent price.

Seems cheap (relatively speaking!) given the USD price announced.

Wonde how it will compare to the like of other brand 24mm lenses.

 

[chrism_scotland]

Cheaper than the equivalent Full Frame 24mm lenses, the Nikon 24mm f1.4 and Canon 24 f1.4 are over £1000.
The new Sigma Art 24mm f1.4 is similarly priced though

Yes, but they are made for FF image circle. DX lenses afaik are cheaper to produce, one of the reasons Fuji went with APSC.

Not a focal length i use much,so for me will stick to getting the 16-55 F2.8 zoom

Agreed but we have in the past that the lenses are not cheaper than their FF equivalents its good to see this one is

Bloody hell! I thought I had all I could wish for with the 23 1.4 the 35 1.4 and the 56 1.2 (The classic 35, 50 and 85 in old money) and then they go and do this to me!

Looks very tempting! I'll be interested to see if people/reviews think it is as sharp as the 14mm f2.8. I use the 14 and at f5.6 it is absolutely razor sharp across the frame.

I think I will give that one a miss at the beginning. 16-55 does it for me. Maybe if a 12mm comes out..
