Fujifilm Asked, You Decided: These are the Fujinon XF Lenses You Want Next!

Your Most Wanted Lenses

A few months ago Fujifilm asked 200 journalists which lenses they’d like to see next for the X mount system.

Fujifilm proposed them 10 lenses that you can see here.

Well, we thought 200 votes are not enough, so we asked the FujiRumors community to vote on the Fujifilm suggested X mount lenses, and you guys dropped over 8K votes so far.

Now it is time time see the results and share some addition thoughts.

So, as far as most wanted lenses goes, this is the result:

  1. 38% – XF 23mm Pancake
  2. 13% – Super-Telephoto Prime lens XF 400mm or longer
  3. 13% – Compact Wide Zoom Lens at F2.8
  4. 10% – Super Zoom Lens XF 16-200mm
  5. 8% – XF 120mmF2
  6. 7% – Super Wide-angle Fast Lens for Astro Photography
  7. 6% – Tele-Photo Zoom Lens at F4
  8. 2% – Affordable Thin Standard Zoom Lens – XC Lineup
  9. 2% – Affordable Wide Zoom Lens – XC Lineup
  10. 1% – Fish-Eye Lens

Some thoughts…

The Winners

Already back in our mega-survey of 2022, the Fujinon XF23mmF2 pancake lens grabbed the first spot. So at this point this is a no brainer for Fujifilm. Just go and make it. FujiRumors even already shared a fan made rendering here.

Also very much wanted: a compact wide f/2.8 zoom lens. And actually this was kind of the top lens too in our survey. In fact, there were a couple of wide zoom lenses you suggested, and if we were to sum them up into a Fujinon XF 14-30mm f/2.0, then that would be the true most wanted lens by the FujiRumors community. But yes, our wish was mostly f/2, but we’d be fine with f/2.8 too.

Another hot lens would be the XF16-200mmm. Now it depends on the aperture range, but overall I think I’d be already happy with a XF 16-135mm f/4 for my needs. But if they can make it compact enough, then I’d take the 200mm too.

The Losers

I once saw Chris of PetaPixel TV expressing his wish for more affordable and compact XC lenses in one of his videos.

However, it looks like the vast majority of Fujifilm users couldn’t care less about more XC lenses.

As far as fisheye lenses goes, also here, no real wish for some. And I know who wants one, already owns one of the lovely third party MF versions out there and you don’t really need autofocus on a fisheye lens anyway.
