Fuji Where are the early 16 f1.4 reviews?

[KillRamsey]

The lens roadmap shows that thing hitting shelves, like, NOW. And yet I can't find any early previews or reviews, just some photos OF it. I'm waiting to hear how good it is, how big it as, and how much $ it will cost, and pending those results, it's going to replace the 14 f2.8 in my kit. Anyone know when and where that lens is?

Actually the roadmap says 2nd quarter 2015.

I'm looking at it now, and it has the 16 f1.4 being released about 7/8 of the way through 2014, before the "2015" line. Assuming time flows left to right on their chart (as the labels up top would indicate) then I don't see it.

You're reading the chart wrong. The line it is just before is midway through 2015. The 2014 and 2015 headings are centred over each year.

 

[dirk]

Yeah, that is a bit misleading... but 2015 is actually at the center of 2015, not the beginning. 2015 starts at the line in the middle of 2014 and 2015. That is also why the 2.8 zooms are not in the stores yet.

Ahhh, the heart sees what it wants, I guess. (kicks the dirt)

So that means reviews sometime in Q1 2015...?

i definitely want this lens as "one of" my walk-around lenses especially for low light. i'd still keep my 14mm for landscapes and other certain architecture stuff.
