The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 23mm F1.4 R ($899.99) is a wide-aperture prime lens for Fuji X cameras that covers a classic 35mm field of view in full-frame terms. Its f/1.4 f-stop means that it can capture a heck of a lot of light, and also create a shallow depth of field.

Sharp from edge to edge at f/1.4; Minimal distortion; Manual focus clutch; Aperture ring

Lacks stabilization and weather sealing; Pricey

This wide angle lens for Fuji X series interchangeable lens cameras provides a field of view equivalent to a 35mm lens on a 35mm camera, sports a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture and costs around ￡780.

I just purchase the Fuji X-T2 with this lens, and I am blown away by its sharpness. Here is an image I shot handheld 23mm, F2.0, 800 ISO, 1/40 second on the X-T2. The image has edge to edge sharpness. Its just as good as my Canon L lenses for much less money.

I am a fuji shooter, although I love my G85 for other reasons. I have several fuji primes but the 56 1.2 most buy is most likely my choice if the prices were the same however my personal opinion is that the 50mm f2 gives a more ageless bokeh.

I'm able to accomplish amazing things with just this one lens. The sharpness, rendering, and color delivered by this lens is something to behold. Distortion is very well controlled as well.

Premium lens, highly recommend for Fujifilm camera users, I have used the XF35mm but this is probably the best from Fuji fix lenses

One of the best (if not the best) Fuji X lens. Great built, fast, no distortion

Quality; Size; Balance

none

Sporting the same field of view as a 35mm lens does on a 35mm camera, this lens should be a popular choice for the wish list of many Fuji X-series camera owners, especially with that fast f/1.4 maximum aperture.

Extremely sharp stopped down; Very good sharpness in the centre at maximum aperture; Lightweight; Useful hyperfocal scale; Excellent build

Not as sharp towards the edges of the frame at maximum aperture as you may expect

The Fujinon XF 23mm f/1.4 R is a highly attractive addition to the Fujifilm lens lineup. It combines an ultra-large aperture with high quality results. At large aperture settings the center quality is already pretty high whereas the borders/corners are at least on a good level.

It\'s the only fast 23mm Fuji lens, so there is no other choice. I found the lens soft at the center and very soft at the edges wide open, which is where you want to shoot it, otherwise you would have had 23/2.

f/1.4

soft; slow focusing; aperture ring easy to bump; expensive
