Fuji have announced that they will be adding a whole series of lenses to support the XPro1 and XE1 cameras. The next lens for these cameras is the 55-200mm which will make these cameras very capable and a challenge to the Sony NEX series as well as more conventional DSLRs. The road map of lenses that will be come available for these cameras is below. Attachment: Fuji XF lens roadmap.jpg (Downloaded 37 times)

Robert- Same as nikon APS - 1.5 Best news in the release is that on May 26 there will be yet another firmware update that will increase focus speed for all lenses. Fuji is setting the bar high for customer care toward existing users. This will be either the 4th or 5th important firmware upgrade in about 18 months! Wow Tom

On another nice note for x series ... Apple updated raw processing to include all outstanding models including x100s yesterday.

Yes I saw that as well. Unfortunately another reason for updating my MBA to Lion or Mountain Lion!! Here for the Aperture update if you need it. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1629

I have misgivings about adding range to the EX1. In fairness, I did take a couple of shots this week that would have been better with the tighter crop of a 200mm. But I am not sure tooling up the EX1 with bigger and multiple lenses isn't losing some of its charm? The main advantage of the Fuji line up is its lightweight compact nature. Once you start to carry several lenses around, the 'convenience advantage' between this system and the smaller DSLRs (like the D7100) is eroded. IMHO Besides ...the small, compact nature is potentially a disadvantage when grappling with lens changes in the field....at least for my fumbling fingers.

End of 2013 or beginning of 2014 Fuji are due to release a 10-24mm which is exactly what I want. The 18mm f2.0 is very nice but not wide enough for a lot of landscapes and some other situations.

Now that might be interesting. Dedicating the XE1 to wideangle is where I think it better fits.

I'll probably get the 55-200 as it means that I have the option to have a camera and three lenses 10-24, 18-55, 55-200 that weigh less than 2.5kg but covers an equivalent of 14mm-300mm FF. I can then also review where I want to be with my DSLRs. I might cut back to just a D800 and D600/D400.

I know where you are coming from. But I need to convince myself that the X system can take front stage in my photography. Only then would I commit to a suite of lenses. Although its an attractive prospect to have such a lightweight system with such a range, I can't get passed the fact that the XE1 (at least) lags behind DSLRs in speed of use. While most subjects don't necessarily need rapid response...some do. Last week I was struggling to capture the decisive moment in some action sequences. I suppose I could have used AFC mode, but with a DSLR (even the slower D7000) I don't need AFC...I can fire predictively and the camera responds. It's early days for me. The next couple of months will settle it for me as I will exclusively use the X system.
