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)

72 out of 100 medium confidence 13 reviews

The Nikon AF-P 18-55mm lens receives mixed feedback. Many users praise its sharpness, silent autofocus in video mode, and lightweight design, but compatibility issues with older Nikon cameras like the D5000 and D3300 (without firmware update) are a recurring complaint. Some users report defective units where autofocus fails entirely, while others find it a significant upgrade over older AF-S lenses for video work.

Pros
  • Sharp image quality
  • Silent autofocus in video mode
  • Lightweight and compact design
  • Fast autofocus speed
  • Good value for money
Cons
  • Compatibility issues with older cameras
  • Autofocus failure on some units
  • Zoom noise picked up by internal mic
  • No VR or manual focus button on lens
  • Requires firmware update for some cameras
