Thanks for the review Bjoern, the lens looks promising. I hope to pair it with my 23/F2 for some light traveling.

Now if only, just as you sugested, Fuji would introduce a UWA member to the family. I would however prefer 14mm or wider.

Best,

Mike

The existing 14/2.8 is only 1mm longer than the 50/2 reviewed here and only an ounce heavier. It also focuses quite quickly.

If Fuji offered an 14/2 version it would be significantly bigger (given that it's an UWA) and if it followed the recent f2 mechanical design it would lose the mechanical infinity stops and distance and DOF scales.  Surely too big a step backwards for one stop?  I would like the sealing though....

Cheers, Rod
