X-mount on Fujifilm X-T3 camera

Fujifilm X-E2 with Fujinon XF 35mm f/1.4

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.

Various lens manufacturers use this mount, such as Fujifilm's own XF and XC lenses, Carl Zeiss AG (Touit lenses), Samyang Optics, Handevision, SLR Magic, Viltrox and Zhongyi Optics. 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.^[1]

"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."^[2]

Fujifilm X-Mount cameras[]

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

Fujinon XF and XC lenses[]

The following lenses are natively operational on the Fujifilm X-mount cameras. Fujifilm's 'XF' and 'XC' lenses bear Fujifilm's moniker "Fujinon" which is used for optics within the company.

XC prime lenses[]

• Fujinon XC 35mm f/2: A compact and lightweight prime lens with a quick and near silent autofocus. Announced January 23, 2020^[3]

XC zoom lenses[]

These are entry level zoom lenses with smaller maximum aperture and plastic bodies.

• Fujinon XC 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS: This lens is a consumer-grade standard zoom, covering wide angle to short telephoto, equivalent to 24–76 mm on a full frame camera. The lens is the 'kit' lens for the X-M1 camera, and has a lower end build quality than the other Fujinon lenses, while maintaining good optical quality. This lens is the first lens in the new 'XC' line and does not have an aperture ring. Officially announced on June 24, 2013.^[4]
• Fujinon XC 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS II: Has a shorter 15 cm macro focusing distance than the original XC 16-50mm zoom's 30 cm. Delivered in 2015.^[5]

Fujinon line-up specification comparison ^[33][34][]

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

• 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.^[36] 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.^[37] On March 6, 2020, Tokina announced three atx-m autofocus lenses for Fujifilm X-mount to be introduced in autumn 2020.^[38][39] 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.^[40]

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.^[41] 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.^[42]
