And while in 2023 we might still get maybe some manual of even this new third party autofocus lens as well as the Meike AF 55mm f/1.4, a few more Yongnuo lenses and the first Brightin Star AF 50mm f/1.4, but those will come either in late December or next year, so we are basically done with pretty much anything.

X Mount AF lenses in 2023

In 2023, Fujifilm launched only one XF lens, the Fujinon XF 8mmF3.5.

But that is not all we got in 2023 in terms of autofocus X mount lenses.

In fact, many third party lens manufacturer have launched their own X mount AF lenses, and if we sum them up all, we see we got a total of 17 new lenses (some of them announced and coming soon but not yet on the market).

So here is the list.

1. Fujinon XF 8mmF3.5
2. Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8
3. Sigma 23mm f/1.4
4. Sigma 100-400mm f5.0-6.3
5. Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8
6. Viltrox 20mm f/2.8
7. Viltrox 27mm f/1.2
8. Viltrox 75mm f/1.2
9. Sirui Sniper 23mm f/1.2
10. Sirui Sniper 33mm f/1.2
11. Sirui Sniper 56mm f/1.2
12. TTartisan 35mm f/1.8
13. Meike 55mm f/1.4
14. Meike 85mm f/1.8
15. Samyang AF 75mm f/1.8
16. Yongnuo YN50mm F1.8X
17. Brightin Star 50mm f/1.4

But as we can see, third party lens manufacturer prefer to navigate through the safer waters of popular focal lengths.

What we need at this point is Fujifilm to offer also something that other brands still not really offer: a long telephoto prime.

• Fujinon Wildlife Photography Lenses – POLL
• Fujinon XF400mm f/4 and Fujinon XF550mm f/5.6 Patents Surfaced
• Fujifilm Lenses for Wildlife Photography: Fujinon XF 400mmF4 and What Else?

They need to do that, despite the fact that, as we have shown in this “vote future X mount lens” survey, telephoto lenses are not high on the priority list of FujiRumors readers.

The reality is that it’s on the wide end that at least our readers want more options from Fujifilm. You can check out the most wanted lenses here.
