What I put on my X-T50

The accessories I'd buy again. Links open Amazon in your country.

Lenses

Kit zoomX mount

Fujifilm XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8 R LM WR

The zoom on the 3D model: 24–76mm equivalent, light, weather-sealed and quick to focus. Buy it as the X-T50 kit for the best price.

PancakeX mount

Fujifilm XF27mmF2.8 R WR

A 40mm-equivalent pancake that keeps the X-T50 small enough for a jacket pocket.

Fast primeX mount

Fujifilm XF35mmF1.4 R

The classic 50mm-equivalent lens with soft, glowing rendering wide open. It pairs well with the 40MP sensor and the Film Simulation dial.

WideX mount

Fujifilm XF18mmF2 R

A compact 27mm-equivalent wide-angle for travel and interiors.

Menu simulator

A working copy of the X-T50 menu, laid out like the owner's manual: every tab, page and item. Click an item, or hover the simulator and use your arrow keys. Press DRIVE for drive modes; choosing MOVIE there switches to the movie menus, just like the camera. The film simulation dial and the auto lever are on the 3D model above. Each item explains what it does and what to set it to.

      Menu names and descriptions follow the official X-T50 owner's manual. Starting values in the simulator are typical defaults and may differ from your camera. Recommendations are mine.

      Mode finder

      There's no mode dial

      The X-T50 picks its exposure mode from where the aperture ring and shutter dial sit, like a film camera. Set them here to see which mode you're in.
