Amazon has a great deal on the Fuji Instax Mini 8 for just $49 right now. These usually run closer to $60 but are available in several colors for $49. Amazon has been in and out of stock with the Mini 8 some lately (it’s the most popular camera on Amazon), so I don’t expect this to last long. Check it out here on Amazon.com.

Chinese lens maker Zhongyi Optics has updated its Mitakon Speedmaster 35mm f/0.95 with a new Mark II version. The good news is that it is smaller and lighter but ZY Optics also claims it offers drastic improvement in sharpness and better control of chromatic aberration.
As with its predecessor, this is designed as a lens for mirrorless cameras with APS-C sensors. It is available for Sony E, Fuji X and Canon EOS-M mounts. It looks like ZY Optics swapped the Micro Four Thirds mount on the Mark I for the Canon EOS-M mount on the Mark II model. More good news is that the price remains $599 – like its predecessor.

Fuji has bumped the release date of its new X-Pro2 from February 18 to early March. Fuji’s brief notice about the release date slip only cites a delay in production. Hopefully, this is only a couple weeks more waiting for the eager Fuji shooters out there.
The Fuji X70 and X-E2S, which were announced alongside the X-Pro2, are still slated for shipping next Monday, February 15, according to B&H’s website.
B&H has the Rokinon 21mm f/1.4 lens for Fuji X-mount for $399 (reg. $449) in limited quantity. Check it out here at B&H Photo.
With the Fuji X-Pro2 just announced, the X-Pro1 remains at some crazy clearance prices.
You can get the Fuji X-Pro1 with the XF 27mm f/2.8 lens for $699, along with a 32GB SanDisk U3 memory card and camera bag. The XF 27mm f/2.8 lens alone sells for $449 right now, so it’s like you’re paying $250 for the X-Pro1 body. That’s a pretty cheap way to buy into the Fuji X-Series.
Also, you can get the X-Pro1 with the XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS lens for $799. It also includes a 32GB SanDisk U3 card and camera bag. This is another solid deal, considering that the XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS lens runs $699 in you buy it alone right now. I’ll let you do the math on that value.
Rumors have been floating around for months and we finally are getting official word from Fuji on its new generation of X-Series cameras and a highly-anticipated lens. The new products announced today include:
