I've been wanting Fuji to build a native 35/1.4 or 1.7 and that seem logical in the line of fast primes, 55/80/110. I really like 35mm in medium format. These new Mitakon's kind of straddle that desire but I'm pretty interested in them if they aren't super heavy which tends to be a common comment about the 65/1.4.
The 35/2.4 looks very small for the spec. My concern is they may have compromised performance to get there. I love 45mm on GFX and the native 45/2.8 is an underrated lens in terms of rendering. I wish Fuji would make an f/1.7 sibling of it.

I've ordered the 30/2.4, and will share some basic tests and sample shots when it arrives. My chief hope is that it performs well in IR, which the 23/4 and 30/3.5 GF lenses do not.
