5 Best Voigtlander lenses for Fujifilm – A Complete Guide

My collection of the Best Voigtlander lenses for Fujifilm
My Voigtlander lenses 🙂

As you can probably assume by the picture above, I am a BIG fan of Voigtlander lenses. I think there is a level of quality in Voigtlander lenses, that is hard to find in any other lens manufacturer. I recently bought a Fujifilm camera, but before doing so I wanted to know if any of my Voigtlander lenses will be compatible with the camera.

After some research, I found out that all Fujifilm’s cameras with a mountable lens have a Fujifilm X camera bayonet, while compatible Voigtlander lenses have a Leica M bayonet lens mount. This means that no Voigtlander lens is directly compatible with a Fujifilm camera. But fear not, as there are adaptors that allow us to mount a Leica M-mount type lens onto a Fujifilm X-mount camera.

The following 2 adapters below will do the job. The first one, being the official adapter from Fujifilms, is a bit pricier. The second one is from a third-party manufacturer and therefore much cheaper. I am using this adapter to mount my Voigtlander 35mm M mount lens to my Fuji XT10.  I was very pleasantly surprised – it is well made, well finished, and snaps into place accurately with no looseness, and no over-tightness either.

It is a fast-aperture prime lens with solid build quality. The construction is all metal and super compact. The lens is pretty sharp wide open. The best thing about this lens is its size – it is super tiny and light. This makes it a perfect walk-around lens that can be utilized in practically any situation.

Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1 Leica M Mount Lens – Black

This is one of the bigger lenses with a large aperture. The build is all metal and pretty heavy. It is a full-frame lens.

One downside of this lens is, that it is undersaturated and too muted in defused light.
