For myself, I conceive of Fuji as an agile, prime-oriented kit, however, I know that there are many Zoomers out there, especially among the X-T3 and X-H1 brigades.

F/2 Zooms would bring a certain credibility to the system, and draw in some hold-outs.

So I was encouraged by a slide at the recent X Summit which showed that Fuji are considering these three bright zooms:

XF18-35mm F/2

XF35-70mm F/2

XF70-140mm F/2

XF18-35mm F/2 - at wide end I would be OK also with f2,8 for compactness

XF35-70mm F/2 - weird range, I would 100% buy something like 23-56mm f2 to have three primes in one!

XF70-140mm F/2 - also f2,8 would be OK for me, at 140mm will be everything blurred anyway
