Pergear 50mm F1.8 Lens for Fujfilm X-Series Cameras

At the same time that I ordered the Pergear 25mm I also ordered the Pergear 50mm f/1.8.

Here’s my unboxing video:

And my review video:

You can find this lens for a bout $65 on Ebay or about $80 on Amazon (the Amazon link is an affiliate link. Which helps me operate my blog and YouTube reviews)

Over the past few weeks I’ve shot with it on my X-H1 and my X-T1.

Other than taking me a while to get used to focusing with these 2 Pergear lenses, it’s been really fun to shoot with them.

I noticed that when I used focus peaking on these lenses I would miss focus more often than I usually do. I eventually adjusted and shot some cool shots.

SPECIFICATIONS:

Here are a few tech specs about the lens:

  • 6 elements in 4 groups
  • 10 diaphragm blade
  • Weight: 221g
  • Aperture range F1.8 – F16
  • Minimum focus distance: 38cm
  • Filter size: 43mm

Here’s a list of Pros & Cons:

CONS:

  • Focusing & aperture rings turn in reverse order compared to Fuji lenses
  • Clickless aperture (for video this works but I prefer clicks for photography)

PROS:

  • The Design. It has a Leica lens type feel.
  • Good build quality
  • Solid all around image quality
  • Very little chromatic aberration and fringing
  • Included lens hood and pouch

FINAL THOUGHTS

Just like with the other Pergear lens I tried it’s difficult to be disappointed in such a affordably priced lens. Beyond having a bit of an issue getting focus on occasion, I’ve been very impressed with the performance for the price with this lens.

This is a great budget prime lens for any Fujifilm X-Series camera owner. So if you just purchased an X-T4 or X-Pro3 this might be a good prime to start with or expand your lens selection. I haven’t tried to shoot portraits with it yet but I’m assuming it will do a good job with that.

That’s it for now, if you decide to order, consider using my Amazon affilate link or eBay affiliate link And don’t forget to check out my YouTube channel.
