FR-reader STJN (thanks a lot!) dropped me a link to some samples taken with the upcoming XF35mmF2 at PCHstore – here in French (translation)! NOTE: also the already rumored price of €399 seems to be correct :-) .
UPDATE: enjoy the cached version here.
And I have to say: I really like the bokeh I see in these samples. And you?
stay tuned…

A message landet in my rumor box, from an anonymous source (thanks!), and it shared the answer to one big question about the imminent XF35mmF2… how much will it cost?
Well, according to the source, the price of the XF35mmF2 will be very attractive. It will cost:
€399!
I also got another hint (anonmyous source with nick-name, thanks!) unveiling the price of the 1.4x Teleconverter. It should be of € 449. Not really a bargain, but I’m sure it will deliver great results !
Consider that there might be slight variations according to the EU-country. But in any case, if the information is correct, the 35mmF2 has a really interesting price tag. It will be even cheaper than the XF27mmF2.8 (regular price)!
And now spread the word… and quote the source ;)
enjoy you Sunday

My rumor box got a message again, and I’m glad to share it here with all of you.
According to the same source, who leaked the October 21 announcement date for the XF35mmF2, also the 1.4x teleconverter will be launched the very same day. Both will hit the market mid-November.
To the source: Thanks again for sharing the rumor… and for giving yourself a nick-name :)
Ok, sure, take the grain of salt. But as of now, for me X-Day is October 21… so stay tuned on FujiRumors. You’ll get the usual live-blogging session.

P.S.: As shared already back in Febraury 2015, the 1.4x teleconverter will work with the following lenses: XF50-140mm, XF120mmF2.8 R Macro, XF100-400mm. And as said on October 2, unless Fujifilm was able to defy the laws of physics, you’ll lose a stop of light using the 1.4x teleconverter on those lenses.
The More the Merrier :)
A kind FR-reader dropped me following email:
“ACD See Pro 9 (I like it much better then LR) now supports X-Trans RAW.”
And not only X-Trans support. This version introduces many improvements and new features. Check them out here. For the Free Trial click here.
ACD See Pro 9 is available for Windows only. [UDPATE: It looks like there is also a MAC version here.]
So how is the X-Trans conversion? Let us know in the comments and share your first samples at the dedicated Fuji X Forum thread here.
UPDATE: There is another software with X-Trans support, that I haven’t told you about since now. It’s CyberLinks PhotoDirector 7. Check it out here.
