Fujifilm X-mount

The Fujifilm X-mount is a type of interchangeable lens mount designed by Fujifilm for use in those cameras in their X-series line that have interchangeable-lenses. These lenses are designed for 23.6mm x 15.6mm APS-C sensors.

This article is about the lens mount announced in 2012 for use in Fujifilm X series MILCs. For another type of lens mount that was created by Fujifilm in the late 1970s for their Fujica SLRs, see Fujica X-mount.

Various lens manufacturers use this mount, such as Fujinon (Fujifilm, XF and XC lenses), Carl Zeiss AG (Touit lenses), Samyang Optics, Handevision, SLR Magic, Viltrox and Zhongyi Optics. There also is an adaptor to allow compatibility with Leica M lenses[1][2] and third-party options have also been announced.[3] Additionally, a host of adapters for a range of SLR lenses are available, allowing the mounting of lenses (without autofocus or auto aperture) from Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Minolta, Contax/Yashica, Konica and more. This mount type should not be confused with the discontinued Fujica X-mount, which is not compatible with the newer X-mount without an adapter.[4]

"By mounting the lens deeper inside the camera, closer to the sensor, resolution is increased across the frame. Information exchange between the body and lens ensure a responsive experience at all times."[5]

Fujifilm X-Mount cameras

Fujifilm has released the following cameras that use the X-mount:

Short back focusing distance

By reducing the distance between the rear lens element and the sensor, a more compact construction is possible.

  • XF18mm / Back focus distance: 11.0 mm
  • XF35mm / Back focus distance: 21.9 mm
  • XF60mm / Back focus distance: 21.0 mm

Third Party Lenses

Until 2018, all third party lenses were manual except from the three Zeiss Touit lenses. In 2019, Viltrox introduced a 85 mm f/1.8 AF lens lacking an aperture ring.[37] In April 2020, the same company introduced a 33 mm f/1.4 lens with an aperture ring. Two more Viltrox lenses, 23 mm f/1.4 and 56 mm f/1.4, are announced for 2020.[38] On March 6, 2020, Tokina announced three atx-m autofocus lenses for Fujifilm X-mount to be introduced in autumn 2020.[39][40] Toshihisa Iida, the General Manager of Fujifilm's Optical Device and Electronic Imaging Products Division, explained on April 14, 2020 that Fuji followed plans on opening the X-mount up to third-party lens manufacturers. The manufacturer Kenko Tokina was mentioned in this interview.[41]

Autofocus lenses

Carl Zeiss lenses

The Touit line of compact lenses from Carl Zeiss AG is purposely designed for APS-C like camera bodies. The optics of these lenses are designed by Carl Zeiss, but the design for manufacturing is done by the Japanese manufacturer Cosina. The Touit lenses are produced for a Fujifilm X-mount and Sony E-mount.[42] Because Fujifilm did not share the specifications of the X-mount, Carl Zeiss never received officially the license for releasing X-mount lenses. The Touit lenses are therefore non-certified.[43]

gollark: Oh, hi u0_a3914.
gollark: Contrarianism, perhaps.
gollark: I hold very strongly to arbitrary evolved rules, except when I ignore them for stylistic effect.
gollark: I will not arbitrarily alter grammar due to this.
