The Fujifilm X-T50 is a beautiful retro-styled mirrorless camera that’s also remarkably compact. But inside is a high-resolution 40MP X-Trans sensor that makes some pretty heavy demands on lens quality.

We like the Fujifilm X-T50 a lot. It’s one of the best Fujifilm cameras in the range and, despite its compact size, it packs in the same 40MP APS-C sensor found in the Fujifilm X-T5 and X-H2. This sounds like a great step forward, but it does show up any weaknesses in some older existing lenses – most of which were designed when Fujifilm cameras had resolutions of 26MP, 24MP or even 16MP.
