I have to agree with the other commenter.  The pictures seems over exposed.  Also the contrast looks to be significantly lower on the X-pro samples as well.  Even though the detail of the Fuzz on...

@ f/4 the Bokeh is really not too bad. Again @ f/4.  Really pretty good. Leica M 24mm @2.8.  I would say the Bokeh is just as nervous.  This is also an aspherical lens design though. Fuji @ f/2...

I wonder how much video was wasted of the camera sitting camera down, or into someones armpit?

Since it is an APS-C I hope that adding the extra stop of light will be slightly easier. In theory it should produce out of focus blur similar to a "normal" zoom from Canon or Nikon but on a...

Fuji does make a bounce swivel flash, it is just about equivalent to the Canon 430 you mention.  It has manual control in full  stops down to 1/64th power.  It also has full TTL metering with over...

BTW I realize your review was of the 14mm, and I am saving my pennies for one.  I was at the store to buy one and decided to pull the trigger on the 18-55mm instead.  No regrets since my primary...

I won't take away your comparison to Leica glass.  I have owned several Leica lenses over the years and truly the Fuji glass is not far off.  My 35 is Razor sharp. As sharp as any Leica 50mm...

You "Chill"  You specifically attacked the author of this thread for "mis-titling" the thread, when this has nothing to do with the lens you are talking about.  Get over yourself you aren't the...

I don't know what that last person is talking about, your original post never even mentioned the 55-200, did it?  Anyway, I am also very excited about the 55mm 1.2.  I already own an FD 50mm 1.2...

I own a Nikon 24mm f/2.0 Ai-S lens.  That was considered fast in the Eighty's and even the Ninety's.  Nikon now makes a 24mm f/1.4!  Of course it is a $2000 lens.  Truth is both Canon and Nikon...

This camera system is a niche system to begin with. Why not expand into a lens category and make it available to those who want to use such a lens. After all the system is interchangeable, it's...

First XF lens that can be called good??? Why don't you give us some examples of what you call good as a comparison. Seems to me you might not have actually ever used one of these.

It seems to me that this is a "niche" lens. There are times that I wish I had a long telephoto in the bag. But the idea of carrying my D700 around for just that occasion is a much worse option...

Fuji quality, isn't a very subjective term, because up until now they have not been a main-stream lens maker.  Nikon and Canon tend to compete with the look and feel of their lenses.  They perform...

Lovely photos.  I have purchase several Canon FD's and Nikon Ai and Ai-S lenses and adapters to use on mine.  I have found that creative niche in photography again that I had lost with my "all...

Thank you so very much.

Is there anyway to manually set the shutter to the x-sync speed of 1/160th of a sec?  I remember my old film cameras having an X setting on the shutter dial that would set the shutter to the max...

I recommend purchasing Nikon SB-28's as remote flashes. They are very reliable and accurate and can be picked up for as little as $75 on ebay.  I just purchased three, and they are great for indoor...

I usually buy a Kipon.  I purchased a Rayqual for Leica R lenses and did find it to be a little better made, but for the difference in cost it wasn't that much better.  I would just make sure that...
