The best lenses for Fujifilm X-Mount

The Fujifilm X-Mount has the most comprehensive native lens lineup of any of the APS-C mirrorless systems. Now that third party manufacturers like Sigma, Tamron and Tokina are making autofocus lenses in X-Mount, it can be tough to pick the best option. Fortunately, Chris is here to pick his favourite lenses in a variety of categories.

The 33mm 1.4 is one of the best optical lenses I’ve ever seen. It almost never leaves my xt4. Love it!

The Fuji 90mm f2 is one of the best fuji lenses ever, and very very underrated . I have 14 best fuji lenses ( not the 200mm f2 ) and the 90mm f2 is in my eyes the best .

[hansonli]

The 90mm f2 is the most underrated Fuji lens. The bokeh is extremely round even wide-open, super sharp, masterpiece.

The weight of the 150-600 blew my mind. It's so unbelievably lightweight for its size. I have no practical use for it in my work, but using it in our camera store and handling it I'm kind of in love with it.

Just added the Sigma 56mm F1.4 to my arsenal and I'm loving it so far. Next up is the 70-300 and an ultrawide angle lens to go with my 16-80mm.

I'm a simple person, so with the Fuji 18-55 and the Fuji 70-300 I cover most of my needs and make me happy; I don't want bulky, heavy and expensive lenses; the lighter and compact, the better for me. I also have the Fuji 16mm 2.8, but I seldom use it (the 18-55 would do most of the time), and the Viltrox 85 for portraits, which I think I'll substitute for the Sigma 56 in the near future.

23mm f1.4 and 13mm f1.4 Viltrox lenses (also the 85 f1.8) are just amazing value for money for all mounts! I use the 23 on the A6100.

[scottparis]

The 60mm f2.4 is a great portrait lens, too. Equivalent to 90mm on full frame, which was Leica's standard portrait length for 50 years.
No, it won't give you that stylish paper-thin depth of field, but I kinda like having both the nose and the ears in focus anyway.

I can’t “like’ this video again (I have watched it before) but I can comment this time! I often find myself coming back to your content - it’s always super helpful and very well done. Thanks for being awesome!

Okay, I clicked on the thumbnail and instantly skipped ~3-5min into the video.. had to come back to 0:20 to not miss any content. Straight to the facts, subbed 🖤

Some of the best lenses for Fujifilm X are the Fringer Pro II adapters which allows adapting Canon EF and Nikon F lenses, such as the dirt-cheap EF 10-18, 24, 40, 50, 60 macro (purchased for under $100 each used, aka 20% to 25% of the ~$400+ Fuji lenses they replace), 17-55, 85 and the Nikon 300 and 500 PF lenses popular for wildlife (that don't exist in Fuji X). I also adapt the EF 200 F2.8 L lens which cost me $200 used, aka 3% of a new Fuji 200 F2. Very sharp, lots of bokeh, only one stop slower. ♥

I really love the Zeiss 32mm 1.8 for Fuji - has kind of an own character which suits so stunningly well to the film simulations 😍 my 24/7 pick

[michaelhaarstad]

Small thing, but its the Laowa 65mm macro lens that comes in Fuji XF mount. 100mm is their full frame macro.

[RVNmedic]

Glad to see Fuji getting some attention. I looked at the 150-600 but it's massive. I hike with my 100-400 and 1.4TC. Works for me. Thanks for the review. Love you guys!

[sotitofanschop]

To me the 16mm f1.4 and 90mm f2 are the best… different contrast, clarity, rendering etc absolutely amazing. Can tell immediately when I look at the shots how much better they are. Both simply amazing.

[momchilyordanov]

My favorite Fuji lens is the XC 35. The price to performance is amazing. 2nd and 3rd place are Sigma 16/1.4 and 56/1.4. That is my setup, and the overall price is low, while the performance is not.

[jimlashell]

I really enjoy your channel! My 2 favorite Fuji lenses are the Fuji 16-55 f2.8 and the 50-140 f2.8. My Fuji cameras are the xt4 and xt5.

[KingFiercer_zip]

XF35mm F/1.4 for me. It's light and compact, versatile, sharp enough even wide open and has beautiful rendering.

[Martin-nuym]

The XF80 is the main reason I have Fujifilm gear. One of the few mirrorless designed macro lenses that accept the teleconverters with AF. I prefer the AF macro lens because I can take advantage of the in-camera focus bracketing.

[laurapeter]

I’ve owned a lot of Fuji glass and as a hobbyist, can’t justify most of it. I finally settled a humble used XC 15-45mm which gives the 22.5-64mm 35mm equivalent focal lengths in a tiny lightweight collapsible package. Sure, not for heavy duty use, but perfect for a beginner or a video shooter.
