any fuji users got their hands on it yet?

I got it 2 weeks back, I have a few photos I uploaded here:
Carl Zeiss Touit 32mm F1.8 - a set on Flickr

Overall, I enjoyed it better than the Fuji 35 F1.4, Focus is quicker, but still not as fast as I expected, it does seem sharper (not sure if its because widest apperture is oredy 1.8). But I think it has more pleasant Colour rendering and Bokeh. Definetely a keeper for me :)
 

The 32mm is $1532 while the 12mm is 2.1k. So expensive.
 

at least fuji users has alternatives at 14mm and 35mm, both very good lens.

N some online reviews shows it performs better than d Touits. Especially d 35/1.4 is hard to beat.

Buy it overseas like Hong Kong or Australia. Even if buy from US website and pay gst and shipping charges will be cheaper.

but I saw some photos on a Vietnamese website.
no fight for the Fuji 35/1.4.

there is a discussion regarding this in the sony forum.
conclusion: it's about 15%-20% more expensive locally but comes with 3 years warranty
 

It seems the Touit lenses are more contrasty and slightly sharper but have busier bokeh compared to creamy bokeh from 35/1.4.

Keep in mind they are not optically corrected for distortion (so only software-corrected in camera) compared to Fuji which has very little distortion optically.

I will take my Fuji 14 and 35mm lenses, but having more options can only be good for the system though.
