Third Party Lenses (Manual + Autofocus) – How Popular Are They Really? – VOTE NOW (X Mount Edition)

I have recently launched a survey, where I ask you which autofocus X mount lenses you own (Fujinon and Third Party).

But some pointed out that there are also lots of third party manual focus X mount lenses that they own for the X system. Or they adapt AF lenses via smart adapters. Or they have dummy adapters for MF lenses.

Now, your wish was that I’d somehow include those lenses in the survey too.

So I thought we could investigate this with a new survey that includes the following options:

Fujinon XF/XC lenses
X mount third party autofocus X lenses (from Viltrox, Sigma, Tamron & Co)
X mount third party manual focus lenses
adapted manual focus lenses
adapted autofocus lenses (using smart AF adapters from Fringer & Co)

Tick the boxes in case you own any lens that falls into one of these categories.

I will launch the same survey also for the G mount system, so we can compare the results and see if there are significant differences. I mean, there certainly will be, as there are no third party autofocus lenses for the G mount. And I have the feeling the number of adapted manual focus lenses will be very high compared to the X mount system. But we will be able to compare it later.

Let’s start with the X mount. You’ll find the survey down below.
