Over the last years, the terrific quality of Fujinon lenses has been awarded many times. These recognitions are no surprise for X-shooters, who use these lenses on a daily basis. It is actually the main reason why we bought into the X-system (so says the FR-Poll taken by Fujifilm and displayed to the press).

But the challange now for Fujfilm is to improve, what is already amazing… and with the XF90mmF2 WR lens, Fuji won this challange. It is a spectacular lens. The best Fujinon lens so far.

That’s why imaging-resource, when they declared the best prime of 2015, said:

“There was no debate in our discussion for the Best Prime Lens of 2015 – it was a one-horse race and the Fujinon 90mm f/2 was that horse. […] this lens is the new king of sharpness [… ] a rare case of one’s jaw dropping when looking at a blur chart!”

The choice for the best zoom was much harder, with three zooms conteding the Award. At the end it goes to the Canon 11-24mmF4 L, and the second place to the Fuji XF50-140mmF2.8 (now $200 0ff).

HandeVision is back now, and announced a couple of new lenses, the HandeVision IBERIT f2.4 / 24, 35, 50, 75 and 90mm. They will start shipping in early 2016 for a price that goes from 480 ~ 660US dollars, depending on focal length and camera mount.

Sure, we have already lots of Fujinon lenses covering more or less the same focal lenght, but Samyang has shown that with a sound price/performance ratio, X-shooters are definitely willing to buy third-party lenses. I also own the Samyang 12mmF2 and it’s a lens I really enjoy to use for my landscape photography… and looking at the 38,942 views and 158 comments of the Fuji X Forum thread to this lens, I’d say I’m not the only one.

So it all comes down to IQ… if HandeVision can, with the IBERIT series, deliver a series that is good value for the money, I’m sure there will be enough X-shooters ready to grab one.

And if they send me one again for testing, I’ll be happy to ask my lovely friend Ellie if she’d like to play the model again ;) .

Here is the specs table (the 24 has not specs listed for now)

Here is the full press release

Janaury 15 is approaching… and I tell you, I’m working hard to make it the best rumor time we ever had on FujiRumors since I started this blog, 4 years ago, with my very first post, which btw. had an incredible web-response of zero (0) retweets, zero (0) likes, three (3) comments and maybe ten (10) views ;).

But things have slightly changed since that first post, and, beyond my expectations and my merits, FujiRumors has grown to the by far Largest Fujifilm X-series online Community (and you know this is why Fujifilm really reads this blog and your opinions).

Well, if you want to be part of this community and be quickly notified as soon as the rumors go online, it’s best to follow FujiRumors also on Facebook, RSS-feed, Twitter or/and subscribe the Fujfilm X-Pro2 thread to get instant notification!

That said… lean back and enjoy the rumors… I will give all my best until January 15 and postpone my burn-out to January 16 ;)

cheers,
