7 X Mount Lenses Left: Vote What You’d Like Next

Back in 2024, Fujifilm disclosed a list of 10 possible lenses.

The list included vague hints on focal length, size and weigt.

Fellow FR-reader Hiergeist (the guy who create an ultra-accurate render of the XF500mmF5.6 ahead of its announcement) created a chart showing all those lenses side by side, each represented in grey and mounted on an X-T5. The lens shapes are based on Fujifilm’s official spec estimates.

You can see it above or click here.

Fast forward end of 2025, and we got 3 of those lenses.

So now the question is: out of the 7 lenses left on that list, which one would you like to get next?

I have already expressed my top wish: since I am a lover of this lens here, I’d go for the XF16-200mm. But what about you? Feel free to vote the survey below.

I’m Looking for a Nice Toy Camera for my Son (Suggestions?)… and Other Photography X Mas Ideas

Today I’d like to make shameless use of this blog for a 100% private matter.

I decided to gift my 5 year old son a toy camera, and there are so many options I just wanted to ask you if you ever bought one for your kids and which one you’d recommend. If you have any, feel free to drop the link to it in the comments below.

To give an idea: something like the ToyZoom from YunLone.

Your suggestions are highly welcome :).

I also already wrote a letter to Santa (a.k.a my wife) in which I expressed my wish to own this T-shirt which would just 100% fit my personality :).

Also nice, the Kodak Charmera Key Chain Digital Camera, which should come early December according to BHphoto.

Photography books are always a great gift. Here are the current best sellers, some of them in Black Friday offer.

Meet FRGMT BW – Fujifilm’s First ‘Official’ Film Simulation Recipe

We reported how Fujifilm announced the limited release of the Fujifilm GFX100RF Fragment Edition.

You can check out all details in this article.

Interestingly, the camera will not have the known “monochrome” film simulations, but it will be launched with an all new film simulation recipe built into it. Fujifilm calls it FRGMT BW (Fragment Black & White).

I guess this makes it the first ever ‘official’ Fujifilm film simulation recipe.

If you want to dial it into your camera too, then here are the settings.

  • ACROS
  • grain effect: strong/large
  • tone curve (highlight): +4
  • tone curve (shadow): +2
  • sharpness: -4
  • high sensitivity Noise reduction: -4
  • clarity: +5
  • exposure compensation: +1/3

Basically: a vivid, grain-kissed, high-contrast black and white aesthetic.

By the way: the regualr monochrome film simulation is not available on the Fujifilm GFX100RF Fragment Edition, but all other film simulations will be there.

This Chart Shows You the Full List of Fujinon XF/XC and Third Party X Mount Autofocus Lenses

With the announcement of the Fujinon XC13-33mmF3.5-6.3, fellow FR-reader Hiergeist has updated his fantastic chart, showing the complete lineup of native Fujinon X lenses along with all third-party autofocus X-mount lenses.

It’s such a well-made and convenient list — offering a quick yet comprehensive overview — that I felt it deserved its own dedicated article.

All autofocus lenses are neatly organized by type (small primes, fast primes, etc.) and focal length. Also, the chart lists lenses that have been officially announced (or rumored) but are not yet available on the market. All lenses are mounted on the Fujifilm X-T5, giving you an instant and clear idea of each lens’s size relative to the others.

You can check out the full chart here.

Moreover, I have added all those lenses on one single dedicated Amazon page here, so you can see them all as well as the price.

Feel free to check out the full chart (Amazon Page here – JPEG chart here).

The Fujifilm community truly is the best one! :)
