Future Fujinon X Mount Lenses Proposed by Fujifilm (with Suggested Specs) – Vote What Should Be Next

Last year Fujifilm shared a list of 10 X mount lenses that are under consideration.

You guys voted and guess what? Fujifilm delivered (or will deliver soon) your top two most requested lenses.

The first one they gave us was the Fujinon XF500mmF5.6 and the next one will come this year, and it’s the Fujinon XF23mm pancake.

Now there are eight more on the list, and I thought it is high time to launch a new survey with the 8 remaining lenses to see if your wishes have changed also considering that in the meantime we got lenses from third parties like the Tokina atm-x 11-18mm f/2.8, which might change your priorities on what we need from Fujifilm next. Also, maybe the release of super compact cameras like the lovely Fujifilm X-M5 might now increase demand for certain lenses such as compact XC lenses.

So, feel free to vote what you want below.

Also, thanks a lot to Hiergeist for making a chart with approximate size of these potential future lenses based on preliminary details shared by Fujifilm itself, like size, weight and diameter.

You can read the potential specs shared by Fujifilm for all those lenses here.

My personal favorite?

Well, you might know how much I LOVE this lens here, so probably my top pick would be the one lens, that could replace it, such as the XF16-200mm. But let us know yours by voting below.

Fujifilm Displays 10 Lenses “Under Study” and Talks X-Pro, X-E, GFX-R and Fixed Lens GFX Future

With all the talk about the Fujifilm X100VI in these days, we can now report also something interesting for those of you, who are not into the X100 line (thanks to Mistral!).

In a session with journalists, Fujifilm shared 10 lenses that were “under study” and also talked about future X/GFX cameras, as reported by the French website lesnumeriques here, who also is to credit for the images.

10 Lenses “Under Study”
(Images at the Top of the Article)

Fujifilm did display 10 lenses currently “under study” by Fujifilm. But please guys, don’t take this as any sort of “roadmap”, for the reasons I’ll explain below.

  • Super-Telephoto Prime lens XF 400mm or longer
    – 100-110mm diameter
    – 240-280 length

    – 90-110mm diameter
    – 900-1,000g
  • Super Wide-angle Fast Lens for Astro Photography

    – 55-70 diameter
    – weight 200-300g
  • Affordable Thin Standard Zoom Lens – XC Lineup
    – size 30-40mm
    – 60-70mm diameter
    – weight 100-130G
  • Affordable Wide Zoom Lens – XC Lineup
    – Size 40-50mm
    – 60-70mm diameter

It’s not the first time that Fujiflm gave us a list of “lenses under study“. It happened also back in 2019, when they even wanted us to vote on those lenses (as they wanted the journalists to vote on the lenses we display today). And if we look at the list, except for some MKII lenses, not much on that list ever materialized in a real product.

So don’t take it as a solid indication on anything.
