Would be interested in finding out more, price, condition etc... Still undecided on this the 20 or x20.
Looking long and hard at these! A good price for a fish eye .... But do I really need one?gone lens mad! Order just gone in for a Samyang 8mm f2.8

I'm guessing £999 easily for the 56mm 1.2 (perhaps a bit more), going to be hard to justify a purchase but I would guess it's going to be rather special.
Should be a lot of used 60mm's on the market when that gets released though, reducing values a fair bit.
Anybody with a Samyang 8mm who can share a couple of raw files with me?
Has anyone sent in the form for claiming the free lens without waiting 14 days from purchase? I notice that its not even mentioned on the form, just in the small print within T&C's (which many I guess won't even read).
Can someone who has a 60mm lens let me know if it's best to buy a 39mm uv filter or to get a step up ring to 52mm to cover the whole front? ...And does the lens hood fit ok with a step up to 52mm?
Playing devils advocate but the form asks you to tick to confirm you've read the T&Cs, which are fairly short and on the same PDF.
For cashback / free lens deals I always ensure I follow the rules to the letter, not worth messing around when it's a £400 lens you're applying for in my opinion. I'm sure it would be fine, but I would rather hang on until 14 days have elapsed than having it sat waiting around at their end.
I sent mine in immediately as there was nothing on the form to state otherwise. I gave fuji a ring yesterday and I am indeed on the list for my free lens but the wait is one full month from the date of purchase.Has anyone sent in the form for claiming the free lens without waiting 14 days from purchase?

I sent mine in by Special Delivery just to be safe. It cost £6.22Sent mine in anyway, but ringing them to check they have it and its in the queue is a good idea. I have to say that I'm BLOWN away with the IQ from this camera, especially in low light, I have a trio of D3s's that I use for work and I never expected it to come even close, but it does. Going to give it a work out in the studio soon, be interesting how it fares in that situation too.
Thinking of taking the plunge as I have a Wex credit note for £379.00, for a lens I part exchanged. And selling my D7000 on.
I was thinking of getting the 60mm macro as the free lens and then purchasing a second hand 16-50mm lens to cover me at the short-mid end. Has anyone have experience of using this lens on the XP1. Unfortunately I haven't enough money at present for the 18-55mm. You can pick up the 16-50mm from dealers for about £220.00 and probably cheaper on the bay.
Or I could possibly sell the 18mm and put the money towards the 18-55mm. How does the prime 18mm compare to the 18mm on the zoom. And has anyone any ideas how much the 18mm primes are currently selling for.
Any advice or thoughts on the above. I want to keep the 60mm Macro lens, as It is something I would like to try.
The 35 is a stunner, I'm not sure regarding 60s being around, the 56 is going to cost a fortune, may make people hang onto their 60s.
I love the 35, the 60 was also pretty good, but didn't want to wait a month for the 35 where I don't mind waiting for the 60. Either way it amounts to the same result just choosing the lens you want sooner rather than later.

Oops, just ordered the X-Pro1 from Amazon, with 18mm lens.
Just need to decide whether to go for the 35mm or the 60mm as the freebie.
My thinking is to go for the 35mm, as I think there will be a good number of 60s about when the new 56mm? lens is released.
Might put the £50 credit towards whichever on I don't get for free, or might go for the 55-200.Decisions, decisions.
Anyway, a happy chappy here. Apparantly due for delivery on Tuesday.
I'm looking forward to Tuesday too !!
I'm definitely going for the primes first, as I have been using primes on my D700 for a while, but who knows what I will go for in the future?
I'm keeping the D700 kit though, although I might slim down my lens collection a bit.
I bought the XPro 1 in the belief that being smaller, I will take it out more than my gripped D700 kit.
I'm thinking of going for the 60mm as the freebie, and ordering the 35mm with £50 off. As the 60 is more expensive, it's a slightly better deal.
