Today, when UK FR-reader Andrew will arrive home from work, he will already be able to take his first shots with the Fujifilm X-E2!!! UK store wexphotographic already shipped his X-E2 as you can see from the screenshots! The black and silver body+kit lens combination is also in stock at Wex. Here is what Andrew wrote me:

“WEX photographic here in the U.K called me last night and said that my X-E2 order will be with me tomorrow! (Friday 1st November). […] I was really surprised too! Didn’t expect it till mid November at the very earliest myself.  I’m at work right now, but as soon as I get home I’ll send along some pictures (won’t be until later today, but my partner is in to collect the camera). I’ve attached a couple of screenshots of the WEX delivery notification and the Parcel Force website delivery status. I’ll keep you informed.”

enjoy your camera, Andrew!
Patrick

XF23mm

[shopcountry 16128]

– Tom Grill is testing the XF23mm on the X-E2. Read his first impressions and download high-res samples here: “I think you will find that this is an extremely sharp lens wide open both in the center and in the corners, and at f/5.6 it is nothing short of sensational. […] The lens feels good. It focuses fast, is comfortable to hold, and due to its large size fits nicely on my X-Pro1. If anything, I am not a fan of scalloped lens shades. They seem unnecessarily large on short focal length lenses. I already found myself leaving it off when there was no absolute need for it.  That is the only negative thing I have to say about my experience using this lens, which says something in and of itself.”

Hi all!

I had an interesting chat with two of our trusted sources (the Japanese source and a „long time“ source). Here is what they told us about Fuji’s next X-camera:

They both say: Fuji will launch a weather sealed camera.

– The trusted Japanese source said it will feature an APS-C X-Trans II sensor.
– The „long time“ trusted source said it will have a big high-performance EVF.

So, to everyone wondering what camera Fuji could squeeze between the X-E and X-PRO line… the answer is: a weather sealed X! And it should be announced at the CES in January!
