The Rise of Chinese Lenses
In the last few weeks, we covered a couple of new Chinese Fujifilm X mount lenses here on FujiRumors, such as the brand new 7Artisans 60mm F2.8 1:1 Macro and the Kamlan 50mm f/1.1 MK II.
In 2019, a lot of buzz has been created also by the first third-party reverse-engineered autofocus X mount lens, the Chinese Viltrox 85mmF1.8, whereas in 2018 the Lawoa 9mm f/2.8 was the very best seller here on FujiRumors (yep, it sold better than ANY Fujinon XF lens amongst FR-readers).
Chinese lenses: the price is (mostly) low, the quality goes up and the sales explode!
Here are the best selling ones.
- Meike 35mm f/1.7
- Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 AF
- Neewer 25mm f/1.8
- 7Artisans 35mm f/1.2
- Mitakon 35mm f/0.95 MKII
- Meike MK 25mm F1.8
- Meike MK-35mm F/1.4
It looks like the lable “made in China” is no longer something photographers are too skeptical of.
