Exactly. That's huge. It's got a 72mm filter thread, vs 58mm on the 14mm f/2.8, and looks to be roughly the same size as my old Tokina 12-24/4. That's a big lens for a mirrorless kit. For an SLR kit, yeah, that's normal sized...but I went mirrorless precisely because of the size issue. I don't mind carrying a little larger for good telephoto optics, as usually these are still smaller than their SLR counterparts, but on the wide end, I don't want to start carrying 72mm lenses again.
The Fuji lenses are already generally bigger than similar Micro 4/3 lenses, but it's not a big difference, and despite being made of metal, they're very light, so the whole kit weighs roughly the same. But start adding some big lenses to it, and the whole 'super small and light' thing starts to go out the window. Even though it too is pretty big, I may get the 55-200 and the 14mm, and that'll work for a pretty darn complete kit. I could only see getting the 10-14 if I sell off all my m4/3 gear, and therefore the 7-14mm f/4.
I might wait to see how the Zeiss 12 performs as well as its size and price. However, I have to say that in a prime ultra-wide, I'm inclined to have a slightly longer lens than wider, where if I have a zoom, I want the widest I can get, since in situations where that width isn't warranted, I can always zoom in a bit...with a prime, you're stuck shooting at 12mm...and here the more moderate UWA of the 14mm may appeal to me a little more.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love the 10-14 for its range, but I just don't want lenses that big again.

all fair points, but the 10-24 doesn't look bigger than the other two in that photo? Sure it has a wide filter thread but this seems to be just an uplift/extension to keep the filter clear of that bulbous front element, I doubt if it adds real weight or more than 0.5-1cm in length Vs the other two
But I could be wrong, has Fuji released the dimensions and weight yet?
Also, where did you guys see the 55-200?
(and apologies for derailing the thread again)
