2024 Mistake: The Beauty of an Open X
Fuji Rumors • • technology
Key Points:
- Fujifilm's major past mistake was keeping the X mount closed, which prevented third-party manufacturers from producing autofocus lenses, limiting the system's lens ecosystem.
- Unlike some brands that still block third-party access or take legal action against lens makers, Fujifilm eventually opened the X mount, benefiting users by allowing a wider range of autofocus lenses.
- A comprehensive roundup of third-party autofocus Fujifilm X mount lenses is now available on Amazon, featuring brands like Viltrox, TTArtisan, and Sigma, with more autofocus lenses for Fujifilm GFX expected soon.
- Manual focus lenses remain an important part of the Fujifilm lens ecosystem and are included in the ongoing lens roundups alongside autofocus options.
