    Best looking vlog in a long time. 18mm is a great focal length. I have the 16mm 1.4 and it is a great lens, but the autofocus is a tad slow. The 18mm 1.4 with the linear motor may be better for decisive moment street photography. Waiting for the word from the conspirator.

    Love the 18mm F2 because of its lightness and personally wished for an update instead of the 1.4. But with the upcoming 33mm f1.4, Fuji paves the way for the XH-2. New sensor and processor combined with fast focusing primes will (hopefully) bring their autofocus to Canon/Sony level.

    The 35mm is the most used prime and they won’t release a new modern one at 1.4 or 1.2 and they keep bringing out weird stuff like this. The 35 1.4 is small and light, they could easily bump it up to 1.2 and keep it small. Meanwhile we get a huge 50mm f1 etc.

    What if Fuji went full out and built every mm prime lens from 6 to 100mm with every single focal length for each lens. That means an almost infinite amount of lenses.....perfect to keep Fuji in business forever! And that allows me to keep my addiction to buying lenses going.....forever!

      That lens hasn’t even been announced yet and still considered a rumor, so I’m not sure how much he could really say about it.

    You should try the Fujifilm XC 15 45 mm. Cheap and light.

    My 18mm f2 makes the camera freeze a few seconds later if i use continuos focus. All my other fuji lenses are fine (27mm and 33mm). I recommend this lens if you plan to only use single focus mode.

    Ahh!! Fuji is screwing with me again. 18mm🤔. Stupid, weird and useless focal length. Who needs it?
    Ok I will buy it😳
