The already teased/announced Meike AF 33mm f/1.4 has now started shipping in Asia according to reports shared at the Japanese website asobinet.

What an exciting and much needed lens (*sarcasm).

No seriously. The more, the merrier. But I still believe third parties are missing out on a chance by releasing already existing AF lenses instead of coming up with something new that fills wholes in the Fujinon X mount lens lineup.

At the Beijing P&E exhibition a couple more Fujifilm X mount autofocus lenses have been presented.

Meike is about to release the new Meike 33mm f/1.4 autfocus lens for Fujifilm X mount.

It will have a minimum focus distance of 0.4m and a 55mm filter size.

We can expect it be very affordable just as the Meike AF 55mm f/1.4 XF and the Meike AF 85mm f/1.8 X AF.
