Sainsonic has just announced two new Kamlan lenses for Fujifilm X Mount:
The Kamlan 21mm f/1.8 is now shipping at Adorama and AmazonUS (via Adorama)
We have covered the original Kamlan 50mmF1.1 several times here on FujiRumors. Just search for “Kamlan” on FujiRumors, and you will find plenty of reviews.
First product images and samples below.
Here on FujiRumors we regulary take a look at the Chinese X mount glass offering, such as in this major Chinese X mount lenses roundup.
The latest entry is the Viltrox 85mmF1.8, which is, besides the Zeiss Touit Trinity, the only third party lens manufacturer to offer an autofocus lens for Fujifilm X. Fujirumors has still the worldwide only Viltrox 85/1.8 autofocus test and RAW samples to download.
Today it’s time for another Chinese Fujifilm X mount roundup.
ENDING TODAY –Mitakon 35mm Mk II 0.95 for $419 only
Down below a list with Chinese Fujifilm X Mount glass. You can check prices and specs:
The market of (more or less) affordable Fujifilm X-mount glass is growing quickly, especially thanks to Chinese lens manufacturers such as Laowa, 7Artisans, Meike, Mitakon and Sainsonic.
One of the latest entries is the Neewer 35mm f/1.2, which costs $119 and we reported about it here. But to have a complete overview, just check out this forum post about all available X-mount lenses.
Let’s say it clearly first: if you want the best IQ possible (and autofocus), get Fujinon glass and look no further.
But some of these Chinese lens options might be worth a try, hence, here on FujiRumors we will continue to collect reviews and share them with you.
Today we are going to share reviews and samples of the following lenses
Feel free to check out the reviews and samples down below:

It is time for a dedicated lens roundup… and it’s a rather massive one, that includes third party lenses, and also Fujinon glass.
I am trying to catch up with all the links you guys send me and you ask me to be featured on FujiRumors. I will feature you all, but given the huge demand, it might take some time before I can share you all. Thanks for your patience :)
Laowa 9mm F2.8
There currently about 100 native Fuji X mount lenses out there. And if you don’t mind manual focussing, then actually some of those can be very affordable alternatives to Fujinon X glass. Today I will list 2 of them, the fast Sainsonic Kamlan 50mm f/1.1 and the Meike 85mm Macro lens.
alikgriffin reviewed the Kamlan 50mm F1.1. He says amongst the others:
Another fast and good alternative for Fuji X lovers is the Mitakon 35mm Mk II 0.95.
Kamlan 50mm F1.1: AmazonUS
Back in September, Meike announced the 86mmF2.8 1:1.5 Macro lens, an affordable manual focus macro lens and alternative to Fujifilm’s XF60mm and XF80mm. But will it conquire Fuji X shooters heart? It all depends on its performance, and we have a review about it made by Damian Brown on Youtube
Another great macro option is the Samyang/Rokinon 100mm F2.8 1:1 macro lens (currently disocunted at BHphoto and $100 cheaper than at Adorama).
Meike 85mmF2.8: AmazonUS
Sainsonic send a copy of the Sony E-mount Kamlan 50mm f/1.1 to Christopher. In his review, Christopher reveales, that the Fujifilm X-mount version will come soon.
The Sainsonic Kamlan 50mm f/1.1 is currently available for Fuji X-mount, Sony E-mount and Canon EOS M-mount for about $150 only.
About the image quality at F1.1 of the Sainsonic Kamlan 50mm f/1.1 manual focus lens, Christopher says in his review here that:
To become fully usuable, you have to stop down the lens, but at least center sharpness is good at F1.1, which makes it usable for portraits. But corners are very soft at F1.1. Image quality is not impressive… but it costs just $150.
