Fujifilm has updated its lens roadmap to include three new lenses -- a large-diameter mid-telephoto prime lens, a standard macro lens, and an ultra-wide-angle prime lens -- bringing brings the company's total count of produced and planned optics to 42.
Fujifilm has launched the XF33mm f/1.4 R LM WR lens for its X Series mirrorless digital cameras. The company bills the lens as a "next-generation" large-aperture prime lens.
In addition to its two new lenses announced yesterday, the 200mm f/2 and the 8-16mm f/2.8, Fujifilm has also revealed three upcoming lenses that are now on its roadmap: the 16mm f/2.8, 16-80mm f/4 OIS, and 33mm f/1. The 33mm lens is the first confirmed f/1.0 autofocusing lens in the world of mirrorless cameras.
Fujifilm has just announced its new Fujinon XF 80mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro lens, the first X Series lens to offer 1.0x magnification.

Phase One just released their XF Feature Update #3, and it's definitely a firmware update worth paying attention to. Not only did they add a fully electronic shutter to the IQ3 digital back—a world's first for medium format photography—there are a slew of other updates for the XF system as well.
Phase One took the lid off of a first for the company earlier today. In partnership with Schneider Kreuznach, they've released the very first 'Blue Ring' zoom lenses: a 40-80mm LS f/4.0-5.6 and 75-150mm LS f/4.0-5.6 that promise prime lens quality.

Phase One today unveiled its new XF Camera System, a major redesign of its digital imaging offerings. The system features "robust, aerial-grade mechanics, advanced electronics, a new autofocus platform, new modularity options, new software and customizable touch controls."

Fujifilm lens announcements aren't exactly a surprise these days, as the company has been releasing roadmaps to tease the glass that's in the pipeline. As the roadmap and rumors foretold, there is indeed a new 16mm f/1.4, and that lens was just made official today.
Late last night, Fuji released an updated version of its lens roadmap, switching some things around, adding a lens to the lineup, naming the 'ultra-wide angle lens' from the previous roadmap, and otherwise letting X-Mount shooters know what they're in for glass-wise through the end of 2015.
And what they're in for, by the looks of it, is lots and lots of bokeh.
