A Viltrox representative recently informed artemba that the compact Viltrox 20mm f/2.8 would be coming to X-mount soon. Viltrox representatives are known for leaking details about upcoming products so it is highly likely this rumor is true. Fujifilm currently has two similar lenses the Fujinon XF18mm f/2 and Fujinon XF18 f/1.4, but the Viltrox AF […]
DPRTV compiled a list of the best lenses for X-mount that is pretty solid, but they made a few errors. Granted, there are a lot of solid third-party lenses on the market that adapt well to Fujifilm, but I think they made this list based on their memory and a general idea of what is […]

It will be interesting to see which lenses Fujifilm chooses to refresh before the […]
The Fujinon XF 18mm f/1.4 was an interesting move by Fujifilm and while it is has been universally praised for its resolution it still hasn’t won everyone over that already loved the Fujinon XF 16mm f/1.4. I think the above video by Gajan Balan does a good job of relaying why the XF18 hasn’t won […]
