The Fujica X mount lenses was a design of lens mount designed by the Fuji Photo Film Co. for use on their single-lens reflex camera designs. The X mount used a bayonet mount which flange focal distance was 43.5 mm. Introduced in 1980 X mount was Fuji's move from screw mount to bayonet type mount. X mount lenses were discontinued in 1985. Fuji's lenses that utilised X mount were named X-Fujinon.
