[Leica] XE-1 damn addictive

[John McMaster]

Fuji 50-140/2.8 - 176mm x 83mm 995g

Canon 70-200/2.8 - 198mm x 89mm 1490g

Nikon 70-200/2.8 - 206mm x 86mm 1540g

The Canikons are heavier but about the same weight as the pro bodies, the Fuji lens is over 3x the weight of an X-E2 and over twice the weight of an X-T1....

Also 23 elements in 16 groups for the Fuji, the Leica R 70-180/2.8 of 1995 was 13/10 and no slouch ;-)

Suppose so, the ff size zoom would be massive I would think?

>>I would think it easier to make an APS-C 50-140/2.8 than a FF 70-200/2.8...

Constant 2.8 for a zoom in that range?  I'd call that fast, maybe even groundbreaking.  :-/

>>i believe in fuji and sharp, but has 2.8 been "damn fast" since 1935?
