In Canada some retailers are indicating Feb 28 as the end of the sale.

Hope it's true as I just picked up the XF 14mm and a push to March 22 would tempt me to get the 23mm.

Really? Its a shame to not make a couple of smaller pancakes that are APS-C only. I know this idea doesn't mesh with everyone's dreams for the platform, but if you've got great APS-C body, why not have a couple of perfectly matched (i.e. not casting a FF image circle that isn't being utilized) optics?

Light is precious... why cast it where it's not seen?


APS-C lenses are still bigger than m4/3 lenses, but that's a given. There will always be trade offs with all formats.

Bought a couple of lenses through bh and even with taxes it still saved me a couple of hundred euro's. Nice!

The 27mm for $200. Why wouldn't you pick one up? On the X-E2, makes a great "slip-in-the-coat-pocket" lens.

Agreed. I got one for use with my X-M1. Makes a great tiny package.

Agreed. M4/3 is fantastic for small size. Of my m4/3 gear, my 60 macro is staying...love that combo, as well as the 75-300...hard to beat a 600mm equivalent FOV in that tiny size.

I posted this in the X-T1 thread but in case you didn't see it there I got an email from CameraCanada and they are offering a bit more discount over the current Canadian discounts if you buy any of these lenses at the same time as your X-T1 preorder (and of course in Canada you get the free $250 grip with it).

You will likely have to email them to get these prices as I can't find them on the website. I was told to email if I wanted to add any of these to my preorder. No extra shipping will be charged.

Pricing I received:
Lens Offer

FUJINON Lens XF 14mm F2.8 $664

FUJINON Lens XF 18mm F2 $379

FUJINON Lens XF 23mm F1.4 $664

FUJINON Lens XF 27mm F2.8 Silver or black $237

FUJINON Lens XF 35mm F1.4 $379

FUJINON Lens XF 60mm F2.4 $427

FUJINON Lens XF 18-55mm F2.8 ~ 4.0 O.I.S $474

FUJINON Lens XF 55-200mm F3.5 ~ 4.8 O.I.S $474

FUJINON Lens XC 50-230mm F4.5-6.7 O.I.S Silver or black $284

FUJINON Lens XF 10-24mm f4 OIS $949

FUJINON Lens XF 56mm F1.2 $939

Pricing ends March 31st applicable to in stock lenses only. We have confirmed with Fuji that all of these lenses will increase after March 31st and some up to $200.

Battery Offer Get a genuine Fuji NP-W126 battery for only $79

Filter Offer Extra bonus 10% off on Hoya Filters

That battery price is crazy! In the US, they're $49 standard....can't believe your sale price is that high.

Canadian retail for most camera batteries is double what US retail is. The 126's are $99 retail up here (Nikon and Canon batteries are the same, wildly overpriced).

STILL awaiting tax refund mad monies.
I will get the XF 55-200 on this deal, hopefully it won't end before.
I'm still debating the X-T1, seems a lot of monies, and my X-E1 is working fine for me.
Though, the X-T1 does have a lot of features appealing to me.
Shrug, I guess I'll wait for a sale on those too? Or a used one...

I find my 55-200 is pretty sharp wide open even at the longest end: 200mm @4.8, JPEG, in-camera sharpness =0

I picked up a 27 and 55-200 even though I don't even have a body at this time. The pricing is basically better than you'll ever get on those lenses used on the B&S forum.

I've been using an X10 to compliment my D600 as a "carry everywhere" camera and have learned to work with the Fuji interface and "feel". This lens deal is good enough that I might as well get a couple and just wait around as body prices drop, seems like X-E1's are already getting close to the $300 mark. That + the 27 might be an alternative at times to the X10 for me.

Just buy it. You cal always sell it at the same price when the price is back to normal. Especially if the price will go up in March.

....I understand!
I would get a cheapest/used X-camera ( XA1/M1/E1..) to use them for now while you're waiting

It's odd that the XF 18-55 F2.8 ~ 4.0 O.I.S is offered for the discounted price of $499 in Canada (even purchased separately alone without a camera purchase) while in the U.S. that lens is not discounted at all (and the price is close to $700!). Throw in the currency exchange in the U.S. and that's a whopping $250 difference.
