As a longtime WR adherent/believer, and a longtime x100 admirer... I think this development, you know, like...seals the deal for me. Couldn't resist.

Also, not mediocre -- I loved your shots on Flickr.

1.4 + WR = bye to my beloved Fujicron 35.

The f2 is also weather resistant. I've tested it in, in harsh conditions on both XT1 and and XT2. It really works. I'm not talking like a very humid day or snowflakes. I'm talking 8 hours in a ...

Agreed. Looks like a set from Star Wars. I love it.

What serial numbers constitute early run on the 35/2?  Are we talking basically any made in Japan models?

I like this a lot. The precision and lack of distortion is great.

What a shot!  Gonna have to buy or rent one of these next time in around the live oaks in New Orleans.

First, great images. Really great understanding of light. Second, I love this topic. My lens that got away is the Konica Hexanon 50/1.7. A truly magical lens that I adapted for m43 (a Panny G3 of ...

Exactly. I bolded the OPs statement that I was replying to.

I took the OPs post to indicate that too many people on this forum staunchly defend Fuji and that dissent is not tolerated. Like you indicated, I have found this forum to be a great resource for ...

I don't think it's really accurate to say that complaints about the system or brand are off limits here. I've experienced the following myself: - My diopter always adjusts itself between sessions ...

Just buy the Godox stuff and don't overthink the solution to Fuji flash stuff.

Both are great but I really like the first one. I like shots where the entire frame is filled up with overlapping buildings/architecture elements. Nicely framed.

I do agree the stats are alarming but the murder rate in "Detroit" is being driven by specific, known/knowable areas of the city that you (or at least me) are 100% not likely to be going to go to. ...

I can't speak to the 1.4 because I haven't owned it, but I find f2 fast enough for most scenarios. Here's some low light shots from yesterday inside the National WWII Museum. Of course 1.4 is ...

Both lenses are superb. The 1.4 is supposed to be magical and the overall best lens for the system. Its only downsides, if any, is lack of weather sealing and slower focus. The 2 is the fastest ...

Fantastic photos. Especially love the (airport?) Interior architecture shot here, but the shots on the blog post are all excellent. I second the remarks of the other posters about the danger level ...

I've visited preservation hall on a prior visit. Great music spot. I like your crop on the photo here.

Yes.
