The new Zeiss Otus 85mmf/1.4 is the best lens on the planet and it comes at the proud (and unaffordable for normal human beings) price of $4490! It’s available for Canon&Nikon mount, but you can put it, using an adapter, also on your Fuji X-series camera.

VOX POPULI

Silver or Black, that is the question. And of course, a question only you can answer, since “de gustibus non est disputandum“. My personal taste? There are X-cameras that I prefer in black (Fujifilm X-E2) and others that I prefer in silver (Fujifilm X100S).

And what about the Fujifilm X-T1, rumored to come in silver at the photokina?

In order to help us to answer this question, FR-reader Michel did some photoshop work for us and created a silver and black X-T1. And, although it’s not part of the rumors, I decided to include also the Titanium version of MJr (last image). Just for fun ;-).

So, compare the images and vote the poll. Thanks a lot, Michel & Maurice!
