Complete Overview over the available and upcoming Fuji X-Mount lenses

Recommended Posts

Nice to hear!

 

Keep them coming soon the graph will become very crowded indeed!

 

Obviously Samyang-Rokinon are directly attacking Fuji offering a 21 ( to compete with the 23mm) and  a 50 ( to compete with the 56mm) both lenses are ( of course) in the same large aperture range.

 

Bokeh toujours Bokeh!

 

However, a reflection ( what a pun!) even if they would match the quality of Fuji glass or even slightly improve on it at that price point ( 21 $ 499  50 $ 549)   one has to wonder whether anyone would buy a NEW non autofocus lens without any electric communication with the camera ( and internal software correction because we know that “ official” glass receives camera “ treatments” even in raw)  instead of buying for just a little more a second hand 23 or a 56.

Thank for your useful post!

I remembered about a few more chinese lenses that not mentioned in your list (perhaps intentionally):

KAXINDA 35mm 1:1.7

KAXINDA 50mm 1:2.4

@alexanpda: Thank You! I did not exclude those lenses intentionally, and I have added them now. And now that you mentioned them, I remember that I read about those on Fuji Rumors quite a while ago. Do you know anything else about them? It's hard to find any information, and I don't speak (nor can read) chinese.

 

@all: I've updated the OP. I have changed the labeling of the zoom lenses, and I have added the combination of lens+teleconverter for those three lenses that will support the Fujinon 1.4x TC. Do you like it the way it is now?

Thank You! Added to the OP.

The magnification is calculated by me. Since it is a fixed focus lens, the lens cannot have focus breathing, and thus the calculation based on the focal lenght, close focus distance and sensor size should be quite accurate.

/edit: I know I don't need the sensor size for this calculation, but I had a field of view list for all lenses anyway and went from there.

 

Focus breathing is the reason I don't dare to calculate the magnification for the other lenses, because it might be quite off. For example, the close focus distances for the Fujinon primes, real & calculated:

 

XF 14mm F2.8 R : 1:8,33 vs. 1:11,86

XF 16mm F1.4 R WR : 1:4,76 vs. 1:8,38

XF 18mm F2.0 R : 1:7 vs. 1:9

XF 23mm 1.4 R : 1:10 vs. 1:11,17

XF 27mm F2.8 : 1:10 vs. 1:11,59

XF 35mm F1.4 R : 1:5,88 vs. 1:7

XF 56mm F1.2 R : 1:11,11 vs. 1:11,5

XF 60mm F2.4 R Makro : 1:2 vs. 1:3,5

XF 90mm F2.0 R LM WR : 1:5 vs. 1:5,66

 

Especially the shorter focal lenghts must "breathe" substantially.

- added some reviews to the XF 35 2.0

- updated the chart

- cleaned up some formatting problems and broken links

 

 

Since the XF 35mm F2.0 R WR is already being shipped, I've marked it as released, despite Fujifilm having announced it for December 31st.

Is it ok to multipost in this thread?

- added the Meyer Optik Görlitz Trimagon F2,6 95 MM to the list and chart
- changed the font colors in the chart to match the markers

- changed the status of the MOG Nocturnus F0,95 35 MM to "unreleased"


Thank You Patrick, I've added it to the list. I also checked the Meyer Optik Görlitz lineup and saw that the Nocturnus has a new look and is "for preorder" now. On the product page, the old lens body (the Zhongyi Mitakon Speedmaster 35mm f/0.95 - look-alike) still can be seen in the background and in smaller images, like the one that has been for sale in german onlinestores already. However, I've decided to list the lens as "unreleased" for now. I will change the status of those lenses as soon as MOG themselves say they are "available".

The nocturnus indeed changed design. But it's basically still unavailable. I've used slidoo to quickly search ebay worldwide, and here is the result: https://www.slidoo.com/slider/search/keyword/Nocturnus%20Fuji/country/US/minPrice/0/maxPrice/42500/locationId/2/auctionMethodId/2/conditionId/2/

 

So I agree, it's better to keep it unreleased for now.

HandeVision : 24/F2.4 – 35/F2.4 – 50/F2.4 – 75/F2.4 – 90/F2.4 

It looks like anyone who has a production line based on excreting overpriced manual focus lenses is jumping on the bandwagon of simply putting a Fuji bayonet on their otherwise non autofocus and non automatic, not communicating with the camera lenses which have been given a rejuvenation treatment. German Engineering ( read “ but made in China”) at its best.

Thank You! Have added them to list & chart.

 

However, I'm not sure if 6/6, 5/5 or even 4/4 (although you need less lenses for longer focal lenghts) is enough to be corrected good enough for a digital camera. At least they are built for full frame, that might help on Fujifilm cameras.

I found an error on the chart. The Zonlai lens is a 25mm f1.8 and the Modula Optical lens is{will be} a 33mm f2. You have them backwards. Not a big deal but I am looking forward to the Modula lens, very interesting indeed.

    • It is really easy to find out if the wifi is on. Your computer or tablet or cell phone will have a network settings dealing with wifi, bluetooth, ethernet or “other”. Open that up and go into the section for wifi, and take note of which networks are listed. Turn on the camera and keep watching the list of networks. If your camera’s wifi is turned on, a new network should suddenly show up in your computer/tablet/phone’s network listings. Now go into the camera’s menus and start a wireless connection (the x-app or camera remote app can help you with this). You should see a network show up now. It is not hidden because it has to be visible so that your computer/tablet/phone can join the camera’s network to transfer images. Turn the camera off and that network should disappear. Turn the camera back on and see what happens.

    • I think my Fuji 150-600 F8 is a brilliant wildlife lens in terms of sharpness, portability and value but the small aperture does cause issues at the start and end of the day - even pushing the ISO as far as I dare, I can see shutter speed down to 1/25s - stabilisation isn't an issue but asking a deer to stand still for that is too much! In the same situation, an F4 would give 1/100s so the difference to the success rate would be phenomenal... and that's without the other improvements like shallower depth of field. I also find that the Fuji's subject detect AF gets pretty iffy in low light - I keep updating to the latest firmware but it doesn't seem to get any better. I was originally looking at the Nikon 500mm F4 E but good examples secondhand are still reasonably expensive but like-for-like Sigma lenses are around half the price. Reviews I have read suggest that they are as good optically, AF performance and IS-wise but you gain a few hundred grams of weight (but less than the older Nikon model). For a couple of grand, I can live with that. Does anyone have any experience mounting one on an XH2S? What about with the 1.4 teleconverter? It feels like that is pushing it anyway - hefty lens + TC + Fringer all sounds a bit...wobbly? It is on the Fringer approved list but I am wary about AF speed in particular. I had also considered looking for a used Nikon 400mm F2.8, which would be even faster (and heavier) and could couple with a TC to give 560mm F4 but again, it is that lens+TC+Fringer combination that worries me as being just too many links in the chain. Of course, what I really want is a native Fuji prime but that doesn't seem to be on the horizon - and if you look at what Nikon and Sony are doing, if Fuji do ever bring out a 500mm prime, it will probably be a small, light and cheapish F5.6, which is only 2/3 stop better than my zoom at the same focal length. Any thoughts anyone?
    • The Amazon link is an annoying feature of this forum - its automatic and is applied to every post for advertising purposes. My question was - how do you know the camera wi-fi is on and requires turning off? I would have thought this would just use up the battery for no purpose if you aren't specifically using a function that requires wi-fi.
