today I’d just quickly inform you that we now have a first hint about the price of the XF 35mmF2 WR. According to a source, who was right in the past, the Weather Resitant XF35mmF2 WR will costlessthan the XF35mmF1.4. The source did not specify, though, if it’s for the lens alone, bundled with the X-PRO2 or in both cases. Anyway, it seems that price will be very interesting :) .
If true, then that’s a good news … my credit card is ready… it will the perfect lens for my weather sealed X-PRO2. But please note that price & release are amongst the trickiest part of the rumors, since Fuji can change it anytime. You’ll be updated as soon as I get information from trusted sources.
When will it come? Well, I remind you how already back in May, Fujifilm was pretty clear about it: the Weather Resistant XF35mmF2 will be available in November.
Edition 11 of the interactive Fuji X Magazine is online now here. Plenty of great images inside. You also have the chance to win an X-T10 with 16-50 kit lens.

Please don’t blame me, if reviewers out there write such enthusiastic things about the Fuji X-T10. I just report on FR what others say about it. I’ll work hard to find a review that finally says the X-T10 is crap.
But since then, they all seem to be extremely happy with the Fuji X-T10. Recently TheVerge declared the Fuji X-T10 the best mirrorless camera you can buy for under $1000, dpreview loves it more than the Sony A6000, the Nikon D5500 or the O-MD E-M10, and finally today it’s Forbes that says about the Fuji X-T10 here:
“Picture quality from the X-T10 is everything you’d expect from Fujifilm and I personally love the film simulation modes and the choice of dynamic range. […]
I’d say the Fujifilm X-T10 is a superb choice of camera […]. Fujifilm is currently my favourite camera range because the models are built to be really usable and I love Fuji’s colour modes and superb optics.
The Fujifilm X-T10 may be a little small for people with large hands, but for the rest of us it’s the perfectly affordable mirrorless camera that’s a genuine pleasure to use and consistently turns out superb images that will rekindle your joy of photography.”
And now please go those crappy sites like dpreview, TheVerge and Forbes and tell them in the comments that they are just brainless Fuji fanboys ;-) !
