“Lenses are extremely delicate and have to be handled carefully, just like they are alive.”

This is what one of the craftsman says in this short video that gives a you an insight into the manufacturing procedure of the amazing Fujinon glass. From the polishing to the mold pressing, from the assembling to the final check (where each lens is carefully checked by skilled technicians) and the packaging… and at the end of the chain, there is somewhere a happy X-shooter enjoying the great quality of the glass.

So, if you own some Fujinon lenses, then you won’t be surprised by the temporary result of the poll (see at the bottom of this post): the majority of X-shooters voted the Fujinon XF lenses as their main reason to own a Fujifilm X-series camera.

And this time I’d like to know which are your favorite lenses available on the market in the Fujinon line-up.

The WR kit

The Weather Resistant kit, Fujifilm X-T1 + XF 18-135mm is in stock at AmazonUS, BHphoto and Adorama. It’s in stock also in Europe, and in UK you can get it with £100 cashback at WexUK.

The X30

This time we don’t have to scan day after day all the stores to see where the latest Fuji gear is finally in stock. No, this time shipping proceeded super-smoothly, at least in USA, where the Fujifilm X30 is already widely available. Let’s see if the Fujifilm X100T, the graphite X-T1 , the XF50-140F2.8 WR and the 56mmF/1.2 APD will also be in stock everywhere in USA that quick.

You can find both Fujifilm X30 colours available in stores like BHphoto, AmazonUS, Adorama and BestBuy.

It’s a bit harder to find in Europe. Stores like PCHstore, AmazonDE and AmazonUK have some available, but still nothing at WexDE, WexUK & CO.

After the European Fujifilm-X-Magazine (fujifilmxmagazine.eu), which has reached its 6th edition, there is now also a new Fuji X Magazine for South East Asia. It’s not interactive as the European one. You can check out the First Edition here.

Flixelpix listed 10 reasons to own a Fujifilm X camera. Make sure to read them all over at flixelpix here… and then feel free to pick out your 2 main reasons for using a Fuji X camera in the poll (I’ve added another option not listed at Flixelpix, the HVF):
