14-35mm lens please Fuji

Fuji seems to listen to us loyal users, so here we go.

Dear Fujifilm decision makers,

Travel photographers are different breed to architecture or landscape aficionados. We need wide for buildings and landmarks like the 14mm (21mm equiv.) but not crazy wide only zooms because we need some reach for local street shots or family shots that doesn't make teenagers hate our cameras from the puffy look.

We are told that golden hours are the best time for landmarks and skyline shots so slow zooms like 18-135mm are not for us.

Traveling is hard enough with luggage and family so unstabilized 16-55 are not wide enough and too big.

So my request is simple, good quality, light, WR 14-35mm zoom F4 IS lens (21mm to 50mm) which would be the perfect travel lens for photographers.

It would be more amazing if it could be F2.8 because there are times when it gets dark early and we haven't had a chance to change into your fantastic primes because we have souvenir bags and tired kids in our arms.

Thank you.

PS. Nikon's delayed DL 18-50mm F1.8-2.8 are not the same sensor or quality as you provide but judging from excitement level from travel photographers, I'm sure your 14-35 F2.8 or F4 IS WR will sell very well.
