Yongnuo 11mm f/1.8 AF Lens Coming Soon

We have long rumored the Yongnuo 11mm f/1.8 autofocus lens for Fujifilm X mount.

Well, it look like the wait is almost over, as it will come soon according to reports at the Japanese website asobinet.

It seems to be a luxurious optical design using low dispersion lenses and aspheric lenses. It seems to be a full-fledged lens for YONGNUO’s APS-C mirrorless. From the lens name, the corresponding mount seems to be Sony. It is currently unknown whether Nikon Z-mount and Fujifilm X-mount will also appear. […] It is worth mentioning that the lens is equipped with a wireless module and supports remote control.

The MFT chart you see in this article is for the Sony E mount version. Previous rumros indicated that the lens will be available also for Fujifilm X mount, which makes a whole lot of sense considering that it is a lens designed for APS-C.

Yongnuo 11mm f/1.8 Strongest Competitors

We already covered the leaked images of the Yongnuo 11mm f/1.8 and other Yongnuo AF APS-C lenses in this article.

Yongnuo YN 50mm f/1.8X DA DSM PRO Coming Soon

It’s months now that we report about the upcoming Yongnuo autofocus lenses for Fujifilm X mount. In case you missed the previous episodes, here is what will come:

It will be based on the lens design of the current full frame Yongnuo YN50mm F1.8 DF DSM and the selling price will be of 1799 yuan (converted to $247).

Some of these new Yongnuo lenses are going to have some stiff competition:

Yongnuo 50mm F1.8X PRO for Fujifilm X Mount Coming in June and New Image on X-H2S

Yongnuo YN50mm f/1.8

FujiRumors has already told you that Yongnuo is teasing the Yongnuo 50mm F1.8X DA DSM PRO X Mount lens coming next.

And not only that! We have also shared lots of images of this (and four other) upcoming Yongnuo X mount lenses.

Now an image appeared on the Chinese social media Weibo (and spotted by the Japanese website Asobinet) showing the lens mounted on the Fujifilm X-H2S (you can see the image above).

Coming in June… with Aperture Ring?

If the google translation didn’t mess it up, I think Yongnuo said on their Weibo account that it will come in June.

And also, they say that it will use the same optical design of the Yongnuo 50mm f/1.8 for Sony E Mount, with the addition of an aperture ring (you can read it here).

Now I don’t know if it’s because it’s midnight here on the beautiful road of wine and my tired eyes are overseeing something, but I don’t really notice an aperture ring (well visible though in many of their other upcoming X mount lenses).

Anyway, if they did add the aperture ring, than that’s definitely a nice touch and I wish other lens manufacturers would have done the same when they adapted their Sony E mount glass to the X system.

The complete list of autofocus lenses Yongnuo is planing to launch is:

  • Yongnuo 11mm f/1.8
  • Yongnuo 23mm f/1.4
  • Yongnuo 33mm f/1.4
  • Yongnuo 50mm f/1.8
  • Yongnuo 56mm f/1.4

Some of these new Yongnuo lenses are going to have some stiff competition:

Yongnuo 11mm f/1.8 vs…

Yongnuo 23mm f/1.4 vs…

Yongnuo 33mm f/1.4 vs…

Yongnuo 50mm f/1.8 vs…

Yongnuo 56mm f/1.4 vs…

Good luck Yongnuo!
