Third Party Lenses

There are a long list of third party lens companies, which offer great (and sometimes not so great) lens alternatives to Fujifilm's Fujinon lenses. Most of these lenses are manual focus lenses, but some are offering auto focus lenses, and there most likely will be more.

The list below will have companies added, as we have posts prepared for their lenses, so for now this isn't a conclusive list.

Each of the companies will also be presented in a longer article, which can be found by clicking on their names.



Samyang (Rokinon)

While Samyang has made many more lenses than those presented below, and those lenses also come for the Fujifilm X Mount, they are all made for full frame sensor cameras. The lenses presented below are made specifically for ASP-C sensor cameras, and therefore are matched for Fujifilm's X Mount line. The full frame sensor camera lenses provided by Samyang are essentially non-APS-C sensor lenses with an adapter attached, and by that should be considered among non-native lenses adapted to Fujifilm's X Mount, rather than actual native lenses to the X Mount.

While the full frame sensor lenses might give good results, the APS-C sensor lenses are been created to perform the best with their respective APS-C sensor camera.

XF 27mm f/2.8

The XF 27mm f/2.8 is one of Fujifilm's few actual pancake lenses, the only other being the 18mm f/2 lens. It offers an equivalent of 41mm on a full frame camera, or a 55.5 degrees angle of view. This lens has no weather sealing, is not considered particularly fast, and has a rumor for not having particular good resolution. It has a rumor for being a kind of "meh" lens, only being attractive for its cheap price. Yet, many reviewers express surprise when they review this little gem. Apparently it has more than what the eyes sees, particularly for the casual street photographer or documentarist, who wants something wider than the 35mm lenses, but still a little tighter than the 23mm lenses. It is a lens which both allows you to take in the scene, but also to get intimate with the subject, combining the best of the 35mm and 23mm worlds. And did I mention that it is a cheap lens? Also, the rumor of not having a particular good resolution might be unjustified. Check more b...
