Fuji guys show the first pictures and specs of the 14mm and 18-55mm lenses!
The Fuji Guys (here via Twitter) just shared the first pictures of two of the upcoming new X lenses. Just click on the pictures to see the full size images and specs! My only concern is the huge size of the 14mm lens. Hoped for something less big. Anyway, image quality is what matters and let’s just hope this is a sign that the lens will rule!

11 months ago |The key point that’s most interesting about this particular preview release on the Fujifilm XF 14mm f/2.8 R is that Fuji has put a depth of field scale on the lens barrel. For this to work the lens has to have a relatively narrow focus throw. The focus ring should stop turning at infinity and minimum focus distance positions, which will make the lens more easily usable for manual focus even if it is still “by wire”. My only concern if the lens is still “by wire” (who knows maybe it’ll be a mechanical coupling to the focusing elements) is lag between turning the ring and the lens focusing to that position, still this would be better than the current means of manual focusing.
