This article is about the lens mount announced in 2012 for use in Fujifilm X seriesMILCs. For another type of lens mount that was created by Fujifilm in the late 1970s for their FujicaSLRs, see Fujica X-mount.
Various lens manufacturers use this mount, such as Fujifilm's own XF and XC lenses, Carl Zeiss AG (Touit lenses), Samyang Optics, Handevision, SLR Magic, Viltrox and Zhongyi Optics. Additionally, a host of adapters for a range of SLR lenses are available, allowing the mounting of lenses (without autofocus or auto aperture) from Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Minolta, Contax/Yashica, Konica and more. This mount type should not be confused with the discontinued Fujica X-mount, which is not compatible with the newer X-mount without an adapter.[1]
Fujifilm's "XF" and "XC" lenses bear Fujifilm's moniker "Fujinon", which is used for optics within the company. The "XF" lenses are of higher quality and more robust than the "XC" lenses. The housing and lens mount of the "XF" lenses are made of metal, while the housing and lens mount of the "XC" lenses are mainly made of plastic. In addition, only the "XF" lenses have an aperture ring.[2]
The following lenses are natively operational on the Fujifilm X-mount cameras.
These are entry level zoom lenses with smaller maximum aperture and plastic bodies.
Fujinon XC 15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS PZ: This is a lightweight, collapsible, consumer-grade power zoom lens with a short 13 cm close focusing distance. It is the kit lens for the X-A5 and X-T100, as well as their respective successors, the X-A7 and the X-T200.
Fujinon XC 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS: This lens is a consumer-grade standard zoom, covering wide angle to short telephoto, equivalent to 24–76 mm on a full frame camera. The lens is the 'kit' lens for the X-M1 camera, and has a lower end build quality than the other Fujinon lenses, while maintaining good optical quality. This lens is the first lens in the new 'XC' line and does not have an aperture ring. Officially announced on June 24, 2013.[4]

Until 2018, all third party lenses were manual except from the three Zeiss Touit lenses. In 2019, Viltrox introduced a 85 mm f/1.8 AF lens lacking an aperture ring.[38] In April 2020, the same company introduced a 33 mm f/1.4 lens with an aperture ring. Two more Viltrox lenses, 23 mm f/1.4 and 56 mm f/1.4, are announced for 2020.[39] On March 6, 2020, Tokina announced three atx-m autofocus lenses for Fujifilm X-mount to be introduced in autumn 2020.[40][41] Toshihisa Iida, the General Manager of Fujifilm's Optical Device and Electronic Imaging Products Division, explained on April 14, 2020, that Fuji followed plans on opening the X-mount up to third-party lens manufacturers. The manufacturer Kenko Tokina was mentioned in this interview.[42]
The Touit line of compact lenses from Carl Zeiss AG is purposely designed for APS-C like camera bodies. The optics of these lenses are designed by Carl Zeiss, but the design for manufacturing is done by the Japanese manufacturer Cosina. The Touit lenses are produced for a Fujifilm X-mount and Sony E-mount.[43] Because Fujifilm did not share the specifications of the X-mount, Carl Zeiss never received officially the license for releasing X-mount lenses. The Touit lenses are therefore non-certified.[44]
Sigma has announced on Feb. 2022 the release of three new F1.4 prime lenses for Fujifilm X-mount camera systems. They are nearly identical to their predecessors, which were previously released for Canon EF-M mount, L-mount, Micro Four Thirds and Sony E-mount cameras.
PFU RBMH 85 mm f/1.8 STM ED IF. This lens was introduced in October 2018. It supports autofocus and EXIF data transfer as well as camera-based aperture selection.[48][38]
AF 85mm f/1.8 STM ED IF Mark II (introduced in July 2020)
Voigtländer lenses provide Exif data transfer, automatic focus magnification, distance scale and image stabilization information, and parallax compensation for supported X-mount cameras.
Full frame Lenses with various bayonets can be mounted to Fuji X-mount bodies with suitable adaptors. A multitude of adaptors are available from brands like K&F Concept, Fringer, Kipon, Mitakon Zhongyi, Novoflex, Viltrox.
Beyond multiple passive adaptors (manual operation only, no EXIF data transfer), there are active ones available to mount Canon EF lens mount lenses to Fuji X-mount.
