Fujifilm 23mm f/1.4 

Top Rated Gear: Used Fujifilm Fujinon XF 23mm (35mm) F/1.4R Lens V MFR: 16405575.

The FUJINON XF23mm F1.4 R has a focal length equivalent of a 35mm lens, and is ideal for a wide range of applications including portraits and landscapes, as well as everyday photography. The fast maximum aperture of F/1.4 allows users to shoot hand-held in low light conditions and achieve sharp images, while also delivering beautiful bokeh for artistic images.  The FUJINON XF23mm F1.4 R provides enhanced resolving power with crisp contrast to draw maximum performance out of the highly descriptive X-Trans CMOS sensor. The fast F/1.4 aperture allows the user to reduce blurring in low light conditions and achieve stunning shallow depth to field photography.  The FUJINON XF23mmF1.4 R features a camera-to-subject distance indicator and a depth-of-field scale on the barrel. Both are useful when manually pre-focusing to capture a fast moving subject, or minimize the shutter lag to capture a fleeting moment.  Lens distortion has been reduced to an absolute minimum using only optical rather than digital correction, thereby delivering the highest possible picture quality. The rounded seven-blade diaphragm ensures smooth bokeh even when shooting portraits or product shots at a medium aperture to maintain reasonable depth-of-field.  The FUJINON XF23mmF1.4 R uses an internal focusing system which incorporates a lens group consisting of three cemented lens elements and one aspheric lens element in order to keep weight down. Additionally, the built-in high-torque DC coreless motor delivers ultra-fast AF performance for the most demanding shooting opportunities.  All lens elements are treated with Fujifilm's multilayer HT-EBC (High Transmittance Electron Beam Coating) which delivers enhanced durability and ensures an even spread of light across the sensor.  The FUJINON XF23mmF1.4 R weighs 10.6oz and measures just 2.84" in length making it the most compact and lightweight lens in its class. Metal parts are used for the focus and aperture rings, which are designed to give just the right amount of torque and feel.

Used Fujifilm Fujinon XF 23mm (35mm) F/1.4R Lens V

This has quickly become my favorite lens on my XT4.  It takes a while to get used to the clutch needed to activate autofocus, but it looks great, and image quality is fantastic.

Great lens for a great camera system

Aluminum body, plastic lens hood, excellent color contrast and bokeh at f1.4, although not clinically sharp. Overpriced at $899, but worth a try at $699.

Worth a try at $699

Great experience!

This is one of Fujifilm's best lenses. Incredibly sharp, yet with a lovely color rendering and smoothness. it is also fast to focus and quite small. The MF/AF clutch is absolutely idiotic and superfluous, however you will learn to live with it. The other drawback is that if you live in a dusty environment like the Southwest US, this lens will fill with dust within literally just a dozen or so hours of use, especially if you are swapping lenses frequently. Both the front and rear groups fill with dust. I send it in for cleaning so often that this is actually my second copy of this lens, as I got fed up borrowing a colleague's 23mm f/2 whenever I had to send my other 23mm f/1.4 in.

Phenomenal lens with major internal dust issues.

Slick, gorgeous lens

Great all around lens. Love the quick slide of the focus ring into manual. Really cool.

Nice lens. Great experience

I purchased this lens very recently.  In the short time I've had it and used it, I like it.  It is compact and it lets in a whole lot of light!

My New F1.4R, 23 mm Fuji lens

If you've got a Fuji X-Series camera with the very respectable XF 18-55 f2.8-4 R OIS kit lens, and you'd like to explore the magic of Prime Lenses with a large aperture, this is the place to start.

The value of the 23/1.4 lies in it's focal length, which is a very versatile 35mm Full-Frame equivalent, somewhere in the middle of the focal range of the XF18-55. It does a great job for almost all situations, and it'll happily shoot portraits, streetscapes, interior family shots, landscapes or anything you throw at it really.

It may be difficult to justify the expense of Primes at wider/tele focal lengths like the excellent 16/f1.4 or 56/f1.2 unless you use them as professional tools or are a serious hobbyist, because they have a somewhat niche use-case, and if you're just starting to dip into Prime Lens territory, are not as forgiving when it comes to composition, framing, versatility and usage as this 23/f1.4. The lack of OIS is a non-issue, since this lens can gather much more light.

The 23/f2 also exists, has weather sealing and is smaller, lighter, cheaper, and arguably faster focusing (since it's not moving so much glass about) - but I find it difficult to justify the expense of a prime if it's not significantly faster than the Kit Zoom, and half a Stop (f2 vs. f2.8) of light gathering ability isn't that much. You'll be much happier buying a combination of any two of the 35/f2, 50/f2, 18/f2 or 16/f2.8 lenses to round out a great Prime Lens set, as they'll see a more limited use compared to the versatile 23mm focal length - depending on your preferences.

The most versatile Fuji Prime

Great Lens

Excellent lens and quick delivery

Gorgeous images. Bokeh is creamy. Colors are vivid. Tack sharp. Fock us is decent!

Looses a star for lack of weather sealing and noisy focusing motor that makes it unusable for video.

Great for stills, watch out for rain clouds!

Amazing lens.  Returned a 23 mm F2.  Sharp and handles well.

Razor sharp

I love this lens! Its built quality is very good. It's not a perfect lens optically, no lens are optically perfect actually, but its flaws are nicely controlled and not distracting. Acceptable sharpness wide open center and corners, and very sharp across the frame around f4. Bokeh is wonderful and smooth. I can't ask for more from a lens at this price point.

A beautiful lens

This is a wonderful general-purpose prime lens with incredible sharpness wide open.  Bokeh is smooth and refined, resulting in a rendering that's subtly but definitely prettier than 23/2 even at same apertures.  Focus is mostly fine but can hunt/hesitate a bit compared to the newer Fuji lenses like the 23/2 and 35/2.  Focusing noise exists but is well-muted.  The AF/MF clutch mechanism is great to use.

excellent lens

I have to read the manual to figure out how to turn on the AF. Push the first grip ring upwards. 
This lens is a must to have. The range is perfect for portrait or indoor/outdoor short range. Super sharpe and clear.
I bought it ($) OTD no tax with $100GC reward from adorama. It is a steal. I am sure 23mm will hold the value.

A must lens for Fuji X

I know it's a fabulous lens but the copy I received was heavily decentered.
Of course Adorama's return policy is fabulous and the lens is now on its way back for a refund.
Conclusion, if you have the necessary knowledge to test this lens yourself and need the 1.4 go for it. If not, the 23mm f/2.0 is an excellent alternative.

Bad copy

The canon 35 f/1.4 is my favorite canon lens and the one that mostly stays on my 5DII. The canon lens is sharp and produces awesome colors. So the fuji lens has tough competition.

This lens (fuji 23mm f/1.4) is 40% lighter and 40% cheaper and offers the same field of view on the fuji sensor. Colors are different than the canon lens, but it's hard to call them worse--and maybe it's due to the body and not the lens. Either way, the film simulation modes on the fuji cameras help here. I turned down the highlight and shadow tone and mostly use the "PRO Neg. Std" film setting and I'm pretty happy with the color I get.


The only real downside of this system is that you lose a stop's worth of depth of field, the depth of field you get looks like a 35 f/2 would on a full frame system. But honestly this is far outweighed by my increased probability of actually picking up and using the camera/lens.

Compares favorably with canon 35 f/1.4 L

Excellent image quality is the bottom line on this lens, but compared to other brands of recent AF lenses, the autofocus is audibly and tactilely a little jolting. I think I am spoiled by my Fujinon zoom lenses and the 90 f2.

Super Optics. Clunky Mechanics

When paired with an X-T1, this lens rocks the house.  Focus is fast and accurate, even at f1.4.  Colors look great.  Mainly used for weddings, events, and personal use.  It seems a little pricey, but its the best option out there for this focal length and speed.

One of the best - Even wide open

I'm not a professional photographer so as far as anything technical, I can't give a great critique but I am an artist/designer and I know what looks good. This lens makes all my photos look good. I also own a Nikon dSLR with some pretty decent lenses but after shooting with this one on my X-E2, the Nikon has been sitting in the closet. The quality of the pictures are really remarkable.

Amazing lens

Although often labeled as a street photography lens, I've been equipping my X-E2 with this lens for hiking day trips and very pleased with the prime. The size/weight is just at the border of heavy, but the trade off is tack sharp captures partnered with a creamy bright bokeh at F/1.4 (and everything in between). Especially appreciate the option to go into manual focus mode with a turn of a dial and a pull of the lens back for more precise focusing. This lens is basically staying on my camera 90% of the time now.

A "Must Buy" for Lens for FujiFilm shoot

This is peerfect for street and candid photography.  With the X Pro 1 it is fantastic because the sensor is outstanding in low light.  It took some adjustments getting used to the push/pull function to turn on 
/off AF.  But once I fully adjust to it will be worth a 5 star rating.  I have discovered using the eye piece with macro mode turned on make the experience more like a DSLR especially for critical focusing in low light.

Great lens

This is a really nicely designed lens.  No complaints, other than a little pricey.

Superb "Street " pjhotography lens as well as an excellent low light lens as well.

Fantastic Lens!

Sharp, light, great image quality. Can't really ask for more, except maybe lower price (but this lens is unique, so I do think that it is priced fairly).

For me, the 35mm equivalent works much better than the 50mm equivalent because it is wider, but not too wide, and more versatile.

Awesome lens.

The price on this Fujinon XF 23mm 1.4 lens is a bit high but competitive with the other alternatives out on the market such as the Zeiss Touit 35mm 1.8.  This however gives you the equivalent of 35mm on full frame sensor.  This is ideal for my portraiture shots as it gives a creamy bokeh to the background making the subject pop out!! Very sharp on the edges at widest aperture.  This very fast lens is ideal for low light condition.  The 35mm equivalent makes this very ideal for street photography as well, taking in all the elements/details when you press the shutter.  The weight and feel gives the lens a high quality feel.  I love the pull/push focus ring which allows you to transition from manual to auto focusing in a snap.  Great all around lens for me.

Sharp wide open..Bokehlicous..SP Ideal

I have taken a couple of hundred frames with this lens and so far I can find very little that I don't like. It is very sharp corner to corner, responsive in focus and and bokeh is excellent. Love the 35mm equivalent focal length and the aperture ring. It feels like an old AIS Nikkor lens in my hands and that is the reason I purchased the Xe2 and the lens to begin with.

Very Nice Lens

Fujinon XF lens in 23mm focal length was overdue for a long time. I just wish Fujifilm introduced it earlier. It is a very good lens. The build quality is much better than with other Fujinon XF lenses. However, it is also bigger and heavier than similar lenses and it makes the X mount cameras look very big. Even though I am not a huge fan of Fujinon XF 35mm f/1.4 R, I started appreciating that lens even more after I had a chance to use the 23mm lens. The lens hood that came with it is huge and the lens cap is a joke (it keeps popping off and it's easy to lose it). Given the size of hte lens, the new filter diameter is 62 mm so all filters you have to other Fujinon XF mount lenses will not work on this one. So it creates an added expense. Finally, it's also very expensive. i think that the size and the price are the biggest drawbacks. Optical quality and build are very good.

Almost perfect

Sharp even wide open, aperture dial has some resistance, best Fujifilm X-series lens yet. Great optics.

Fantastic lens

This focal length is appropriate for many situations, and the bright aperture keeps it useful as the light drops.  You can play a bit with depth of field too, though not as much as with longer lenses or with larger formats.  Focus and aperture controls are where you need them, not on a menu.  The lens is a bit large for the Fuji mirrorless system, though still quite manageable.
