>>4244142I don't know who these lenses are for. Zeiss brand fanboys/obsessives who think that becuase it's Zeiss, it must be better optically than other lenses? that's all I can imagine, because when you compare them to native Fuji alternatives, they don't pull ahead in any meaningful way. they don't justify their cost either; it's not even like they're an affordable alternative. so it doesn't make sense to me. I have no idea who's buying them.
also, the Zeiss lenses for mirrorless are just ugly. the overly rubber-focused design is weird looking and not very aesthetically appealing. I also know that that much rubber is going to collect dust and dirt like crazy and will be annoying to keep clean.

>>4244371going to third the recommendation of a used X-T4, it should come out right around $1k or a little less if you can find a good deal. unless you have a specific reason to prefer another body style or the X-T30 II, the X-T single digit series is the essential Fuji body.
