If you’re a Fujifilm user sick of the usual black and silver lenses Fujifilm and other optics manufacturers offer offer, you’re going to love the latest glass from Viltrox: a limited-edition set of matte white versions of its 23mm, 33mm and 56mm F1.4 primes for Fujifilm X-mount cameras.
These limited-edition lenses are identical to their more noire counterparts, aside from the paint job, which is entirely white, aside from dark grey markings for the aperture ring, lens markings and Viltrox branding. While the white paint job is quite novel, it is a strange choice considering nearly all Fujifilm cameras are available only in black and silver varieties, which makes the optics stand out rather obnoxiously. But if that’s what you’re going for, or have a custom white case/wrap, these would certainly be unique pairing.
Viltrox says only 500 of each of the lenses is available, but considering they’re available both individually and as a set, it’s unclear whether it’s 500 total for each lens or 1,000 for each lens, with 500 being for individual sales and 500 for kit sales. We’ve contacted Viltrox for clarification on this, but in the meantime you can purchase the 23mm, 33mm and 56mm F1.4 XF lenses for $379, $329 and $379, respectively, or all three as a set for $1,079, which is a whopping $10 savings.
