Wellllll I finally pulled the trigger. A trigger, anyway. With my squirreled-away hard-earned money, I ordered:
Fuji XF23 f1.4
Rokinon 12mm f2
clear filters for both
Circ Polarizer for 23mm lens
2x Yongnuo 560 IV flashes
One Yongnuo controller for those flashes, so I can change all settings remotely
One portable diffuser
2 packs of Eneloop batteries and a charger
One nice set of gels for the flashes
-pant pant pant-
And it arrived. I ran outside and fired off a few shots with this-n-that. Here's a set of jpgs from the Rokinon 12 mil, unedited, SOOC. This is what $319 will get you.

Quick impression whole chimping the files on a screen: They got rid of essentially all the normal lens flaws (coma, flaring, fringing), but it's not quite as sharp as the Fuji stuff. It'd better NOT be, given the price. But it's more than sharp enough, and it's light, and clicks nicely, and the focusing is damped, and nothing rattles. I really liked shooting with it. More to come, I'm sure. Anybody else have this thing?
