I agree with you, albeit it's an unpopular opinion here.
The 10-24 costs just under Nikon's 14-30mm f4. That's a FF lens that is not much heavier, also a fixed aperture, weather sealed and excellent in IQ. The same could be said about the 16-55 in comparison to Nikon's 24-70 f4. As a price/size/weight proposition, Fuji's zoom lenses are in an increasingly odd place in the wider market. This won't matter to people already vested, but if you're starting a new system it stands out.
That is because you have full frame envy... many of us see Fuji as an alternative to the me too DSLR shaped PASM mirrorless cameras all over the market. Nikon is having financial trouble and Fuji is doing well... hmmmm.
Do you have an argument that relates to the conversation being had in this thread?
My comment certainly was... you guys expect a small market share company to compete on price vs. large market share companies. And comparing mirrorless lenses to dslr lenses ... not really fair. It’s tiring to hear about Fuji’s prices. It’s ok, you can buy something else... we don’t mind. Prices are what they are... complaining isn’t going to change that. Somehow Fuji keeps gaining market share ...
Hello, thanks for the input. However, i feel this is a forum for discussing the system, and a discussion around cost is legitimate I feel. You are welcome to not open the thread of course. I've actually learned some interesting things about the differences in the lenses, both in terms of quality of production, materials and also economics of a bigger company making more lenses cheaper. I feel its been a useful topic.
I'm not sure why you took this post personally.
I noted you also replied with this: "
Yawn... sounds like you should have stuck with Canon."
Not constructive really! I didn't make you open the thread! I don't think its actually a valid point either. Discussing a feeling on lens expense doesn't necessarily correlate to which company I should use.
I appreciate you may be tired of hearing it, but frankly, just dont read the thread!
