Here are some additional field test images from the Zeiss Touit 32mm f/1.8.

Last June, FujiFilm issued their lens development "roadmap" (see chart below) for the two XF mount cameras at the time, the XPro-1 and X-E1. I purchased my X-E1 with the highly regarded and most excellent 35mm f/1.4, deciding to place my bet on Fuji evolving this camera...
