Venus Optics will launch the Laowa 19mm f/2.8 Zero-D for Fujifilm GFX soon.
It looks quite small and it will weight around 546g only.
Laowa lenses for Fujifilm X and GFX are available at VenusOptics, BHphoto, AmazonUS and Adorama.
Dear Fujifilm headquarter in Japan!
Your management is running short on ideas?
You are debating on which lenses should come next, but can’t really figure out which ones?
Don’t worry, we are here to help you.
The FujiRumors community has done its job wonderfully and dropped hundreds of suggestions in our previous lens wish article.
And to make it even more convenient for you, dear Fujifilm Japan, FujiRumors has isolated himself from life and worked many hours to go through all the suggestions and try to sum them up in a way that it makes sense.
The result is a list of 40 lenses, which now the FR-community will vote on.
And you know what’s best, dear Fujifilm HQ?
We do it all for free!
Yes, Fujifilm. We are just happy to help you.
Although…
… if you really insist to reward us for our work, you could pay us in Kaizen firmware updates for our cameras.. how about that? ;)
It was very tough to come out with this list, as every lens you guys listed has its Pros and Cons.
But launching a survey with hundreds of lenses would be an overkill, so I had to be brutal. I listed all your lenses, grouped them and tried to find a compromise, as you can see in all my papers here.
I ended up with a list of 40 lenses:
So, some lenses might sound a bit unconventional, but they are merger of wishes. Sometimes I had to sacrifice range in order to keep the lens fast, other times I had to sacrifice speed in order to get in a wider focal range.
And if you thought you were done with your hard work, then you were wrong.
I want you to suffer and sweat one more time.
How?
Well, you can drop a maximum of only 3 votes in the survey below.
So think about it, struggle, doubt, hesitate, but at the end all you have are 3 votes. Use them wisely. The Fujifilm management is watching you!
Maybe your dream lens might not be in the list, but you might find something similar to it. Drop the vote on the lens that is closest to your wish.
We can always run an additional survey later on, where we include more options for the most voted lenses.
All lenses (except for XC lenses) are weather sealed. So I will NOT specify that in the survey.
Just yesterday we reported how a Vietnamese store was taking pre-orders on the upcoming Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 AF XF lens.
We also shared many samples images (as well as product images) in that article. You can see it all here and many have missed that we also shared some high resolution samples here.
And here is an important update:
The Vietnamese store was taking pre-orders for 10,500,000 Vietnamese Dong (equivalent of $423/€405). But that’s not the price it will be sold for in USD.
In fact, I have been informed that the Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 AF XF will cost $549.
UPDATE: I have been informed that the price of the Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 AF XF will be of $549 – read full article here
The Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 AF XF lens is coming soon. And today we have three updates for you:
We have already shared some hands on images of this lens in this article.

Astrhori contacted me and would like me to share the news with you, that they are going to release the Astrhori 105mm f/2.8 Tilt Shift Macro lens for Fujifilm GFX (and other mounts).
Astrohori lenses are available at Amazon here.
Fujifilm has already announced two tilt-shift lenses for 2023, the Fujinon GF110mmF5.6 Tilt Shift Macro and the Fujinon GF30mmF5.6 Tilt Shift. We have shared hands on images of the Fujinon tilt-shift lenses here.
