Huge price drop on worlds fastest lens for mirrorless cameras, the IBELUX 40mm f/0.85, You can grab it for $1399 at BHphoto (save $500). The savings are even better at AmazonUS, where you can get it for $1,064. Adorama is still selling it for $2,079.
I remind you that I wrote a humble review about this lens last summer. It includes cat shots, image of bricks in the wall, some pics of my surroundings… and photographs of my beautiful friend Ellie. Check out part 1 here and part 2 here.

The biggest update is definitely the one for the Fujfilm X-T1… X-T1 owners can bascially download, for free, a complete new camera. X-E2 owners will get Classic Chrome, Interval timer shooting, WiFi remote control and a new (and very useful) AF+MF function. The latter update is available also for X-E1 and X-PRO1.
And now, dear X-shooters, download the new firmware and get acquainted quickly with the new features of your camera… X-mas is near, and you should be ready to take advantage of the new potential of your X-series camera.
And to Fujifilm just this: thank you. It’s an amazing X-mas present :)
