What Buyers Say

Retropia Fujifilm X-Mount Compatible 32mm

45 out of 100 low confidence 9 reviews

This lens is a fun, low-cost toy for creating vintage-looking photos, but it has serious quality and compatibility issues. Many users praise its unique color effects and lightweight build, but a significant number report it simply doesn't work or fails to meet advertised expectations. The lack of autofocus, problematic purple vignetting, and missing parts for the Oreo-style design are common complaints. It's best suited for casual experimentation with realistic expectations.

Pros
  • Unique vintage color effects
  • Lightweight and portable
  • Fun for casual photography
  • Low price point
  • Good build quality for toy lens
Cons
  • Incompatibility with some camera modes
  • Purple vignetting can be overwhelming
  • Missing advertised parts (Oreo design)
  • No autofocus or manual focus
  • Some units non-functional (completely opaque)
