1) 21 beautiful sample shots taken with XF 55-200 by Max Angeloni can be seen here.

2) thephoblographer posted his first impressions of the Zeiss Touit 12mm lens here. From the conclusions:

“So far, we really can’t say much terrible about the Zeiss 12mm f2.8. It has excellent color rendition on the X Pro 1, is sharp, focuses silently and snappily, and is really small for what it is. Though we really wish that the lens’ exterior overall were metal, the plastic hasn’t proved to be much of a problem just yet.”

3) “Hi Patrick! I wrote some first impressions of the new [shoplink 12335]Samyang 8 mm fisheye (specs&price)[/shoplink] for the X-series. It is in English! Feel free to link it.”… and here is the link ;)!
