So as some of you may have noticed, some rumors sites are reporting the announcement of a new entry level iteration (XC) of the much beloved 35mm focal length due tomorrow. It is reported that it will feature an f/2 max aperture, a 43mm filter thread and weight 130g. It will also lack a aperture ring - in line with the other XC lenses design.

Any thoughts on that? Are you worried of a possible cannibalization with the (most certainly) more expensive XF 35 f/2? Thanks for taking the time to read this and have a nice day.

Not worried. Fuji has long needed an entry level prime... nifty fifty. Pretty standard. Now if they can release a wide zoom xc like the canon 10-18 stm they will have most bases covered in that department.

fujis lighter bodies aren’t wr anyway. (Xe, xt 100, xa, xt **)

the Fuji crons were more designed for the x pro series in mind, the tapered nose hides the lens from the ovf.
