Well, it’s coming up that time of year were I think about spending money once more – I had planned to save up a bit of cash and pick up a 56mm lens but funds aren’t there at the moment. \u00a0But Fuji are running cash back offers again – typically \u00a345 for cheaper lenses moving up to \u00a390 and higher for expensive glass. \u00a0 \u00a0For some reason because they like me* they’re also offering an extra \u00a3100 off as well so that’s got me thinking once more!<\/p>\n
The 90mm is currently at \u00a3799 so that’s another temptation (as it’s a replacement for my old Canon EF135 F2), but also some shorter ranges are superb<\/p>\n
I’ve been thinking about the 18mm for a while to use on my X-E3. \u00a0Currently that gets at \u00a345 cash back, so with the \u00a3100 extra off it’s available for around \u00a3300 \u00a0which on the face of it is a steal, but it can be obtained 2nd hand via MPB for \u00a3259!<\/p>\n
One other option is a bit of a gap filler – the 55-200. \u00a0 It’s a small zoom and ideal as a carry around lens instead of the monster 100-400 – that has the advantage of being available at John Lewis so I can get 12% discount, plus \u00a390 and \u00a3100 cash back. \u00a0It ends up around \u00a3360 give of take a quid or so – but do I actually need it?<\/p>\n
*Probably a generic email<\/p>\n

\/edit \u00a0Just noticed the t’s & c’s:<\/p>\n
Excludes XF8-16mm, XF200mm, XF18mmF2, XF23mmF2, XF27mmF2.8, XF35mmF2 and XF50mmF2 lenses.<\/p>\n
That that knackers my idea of a discount on a short lens!!<\/p>\n
\/edit 2 Just noticed John Lewis isn’t on the retailer list either!!<\/p>\n
\/edit 3 Decided to get the 14mm in the end. \u00a0Not bought it yet – but Wex are getting one in for me and hopefully I’ll pick it up at the weekend \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
