Imaging-resource published a long and very interesting interview with various Fujifilm managers, including Toshihisa Iida).

COVID-19:
I got this question surprisingly often today, so I thought to address it in a dedicated quick post: the Fujinon XF50mmF1.0 R WR will be released on September 25 according to AmazonUS.
Curiosity: it seems to sell fairly well at AmazonUS, where it is marked as #1 new lens release.
So, the Fujinon XF50mm f/1.0 R WR has just been announced:
Sure, the big eye-catcher is that “EFF-ONE-POINT-ZERO”, which makes it worlds first mirrorless f/1.0 lens with autofocus.
But what if I told you, that by focusing on the super-shallow DOF, we actually miss out on the probably even more exciting features of the brand new XF50mm f/1.0?
Because, in my opinion, beating the DOF of the 56/1.2 is not the point of this lens, or at least not the only one, and certainly not the main one.
