HandeVision is back now, and announced a couple of new lenses, the HandeVision IBERIT f2.4 / 24, 35, 50, 75 and 90mm. They will start shipping in early 2016 for a price that goes from 480 ~ 660US dollars, depending on focal length and camera mount.
Sure, we have already lots of Fujinon lenses covering more or less the same focal lenght, but Samyang has shown that with a sound price/performance ratio, X-shooters are definitely willing to buy third-party lenses. I also own the Samyang 12mmF2 and it’s a lens I really enjoy to use for my landscape photography… and looking at the 38,942 views and 158 comments of the Fuji X Forum thread to this lens, I’d say I’m not the only one.
So it all comes down to IQ… if HandeVision can, with the IBERIT series, deliver a series that is good value for the money, I’m sure there will be enough X-shooters ready to grab one.
And if they send me one again for testing, I’ll be happy to ask my lovely friend Ellie if she’d like to play the model again ;) .
Here is the specs table (the 24 has not specs listed for now)
Here is the full press release
Janaury 15 is approaching… and I tell you, I’m working hard to make it the best rumor time we ever had on FujiRumors since I started this blog, 4 years ago, with my very first post, which btw. had an incredible web-response of zero (0) retweets, zero (0) likes, three (3) comments and maybe ten (10) views ;).
But things have slightly changed since that first post, and, beyond my expectations and my merits, FujiRumors has grown to the by far Largest Fujifilm X-series online Community (and you know this is why Fujifilm really reads this blog and your opinions).
Well, if you want to be part of this community and be quickly notified as soon as the rumors go online, it’s best to follow FujiRumors also on Facebook, RSS-feed, Twitter or/and subscribe the Fujfilm X-Pro2 thread to get instant notification!
That said… lean back and enjoy the rumors… I will give all my best until January 15 and postpone my burn-out to January 16 ;)
cheers,
XF35mmF2

By FR-reader Tomas:
I made a few sample images, shot mostly wide open or stopped down to 2.8 showing bokeh, sharpness and edge performance. https://flic.kr/s/aHskmPmif6. The photos has been shot in raw and I did not do any editing except improting to lightroom and publishing to flickr.
The sharpness is great at 2.0 and awesome at 2.8, no need to stop it down more. This applies across the picture. Bokeh is good, great for street photography, good enough for portraits. One thing that ppl tend to forget is that this lens minimum focus distance is only 35mm so you can get very close and that way manipulate the DOF to compensate the max aperture which is just f2.0.
The lens price is a steal for what it is.
The size and weight? Barely noticeable, feels like a little bird that you can hide in your hands.
The standard lens hood is this time plastic, which I didn’t like at the beginning and was searching for a metal replacement. But it’s really minimalistic, keeping the profile of the lens as small as possible and not obscuring the OVF on my XPRO1. So although it’s plastic I’ll probably keep it.
