What a day! Fuji just unveiled the new Roadmap here, said that the XF 35mmF2 will be weather sealed... and now this:

In an interview with Greg from the Fuji Guys, bigheadtaco was able to get the following information:

“ I asked Greg why no prime WR lenses and he said they are coming soon. He mentioned the new 90mm f/2 and the 16mm f/1.4 are going to be WR lenses, but the lens roadmap doesn’t mention it.“

So the weather resitant prime familiy will consist in the XF16mmF1.4, XF90mmF2 and XF35mmF2.

You want to know more about it? Well, all you have to do is to stay tuned at FujiRumos… and thanks, nice spot Jonavin ;)

NEW LENS ROADMAP RELEASED: it includes 120mmF2.8 1:1 Macro, 35mmF2, 100-400 and 1.4x teleconverter! (WITH POLL)

[IMPORTANT UPDATE: the XF35mmF2 seems to be WEATHER RESISTANT… read more here]

MESSAGE TO THE SOURCE: Thanks again for sharing once more a correct rumor and congratulations… you just joined the elite team of trusted sources. Also, feel free to use your nick-name to create a fake email account so that we can directly talk to each other… just if you want.

THE NEW ROADMAP

So here it is, the new lens roadmap. You can check it out at Fuji’s site here. NOTE: “The 1.4x teleconverter will be compatible with the following lenses: XF50-140mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR, XF120mmF2.8 R Macro, XF100-400mm”

Just a personal consideration: to me, the new 35mmF2 could indicate that Fuji considers the lens roadmap more or less complete now, and they therefore started developing newer version (or variations) of older lenses. I know many of you desire a compact 23mmF2. I also would like to see some weather resistant versions of existing XF lenses. Who knows if they will come in a future roadmap (oh well, that’s actually my job to find it out ;) ).

I just updated the previous lens roadmap poll with these “new entries”.
