Description

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. Ideal Lens for Everyday Photography The new 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 XF23mm F1.4 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. High Speed Autofocus The FUJINON XF23mm F1.4 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. Compact Size and Premium Design The FUJINON XF23mm F1.4 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.

    • This is how all lenses should be made ...
There is not much more that I can say about this lens than has already been said. The Fuji XF 23mm is simply one of Fuji's superb offerings for the X-mount system, and it offers what only this type of lens can: a huge aperture and a moderately wide angle of view. Although most major lens manufacturers offer a lens of this type in their respective line-ups, these are typically large, heavy, and, of course, expensive. They often can yield excellent performance, because, to be perfectly frank about it, if a lens manufacturer (say, Nikon, or Canon, or even Zeiss or Leica) is going to make this type of "specialist" lens, purchasers will demand performance matching the cost. What makes this particular lens unique is that it offers this wide-angle/large aperture specification for the mirrorless Fuji X-mount system. This means that, in spite of its huge aperture (and its relatively high cost), the size and weight of the lens are nowhere near those made for APS-C or full-frame cameras, while nevertheless offering similar performance. Some will argue, not unconvincingly, that this Fuji XF model may actually outperform equivalent lenses for other platforms. Since the entire Fuji "XF" line of lenses has earned consistently strong reviews over time, this comes as really no surprise. My own experience with the XF 14mm, XF 35mm, the XF 55-200mm, and the XF 27mm Fuji lenses have certainly been the same: these are remarkable lenses that can yield superb photos, and I continue to marvel at just how good some of the results can be. I can also chime in with the chorus concerning the XF 23mm, which, although I've only been using this past week, can confirm that the consensus view is correct. This is an impressive lens by nearly any standard. Most people identify a "trio" of Fuji lenses that are equally superb with little disagreement: the XF 56mm, the XF 90mm, and this XF 23mm. First, construction. This lens, just like most of the Fuji XF lenses, is nearly all metal and glass, and is, amazingly, made in Japan. And it shows immediately upon picking it up. The lens is solidly built, beautifully crafted, and strikes one as being even more expensive than it is. Without getting into a tussle over it, I can say that its mechanical construction and appearance easily rivals much more expensive lenses, and it would just as easily wear a "Leica" or "Zeiss" branding without any embarrassment. The unit makes use of the clutch/ring approach also used in in the Fuji XF 14mm prime: one PULLS the ring towards the camera body to engage manual focusing, and then ROTATES the ring to select focus (distance markings are revealed when the clutch is engaged). The mechanical operation of both the ring and the clutch are excellent. An additional ring used to select aperture is also present, and is itself a bit stiffer than the admittedly too-loose ring used on the Fuji XF 14mm , while nevertheless remaining absolutely smooth. The lens presents with a nearly full-metal body, and although I am sure there are some high-quality plastics used internally, the exterior cladding has the classic XF look. In spite of the huge, F/1.4 aperture, the weight of the lens is quite good, even arguably light at 300g. For the X-mount system, this weight falls right in the middle of the spectrum (all the way from the diminutive 87g of the XF 27mm all the way to the 490g of the XF 55-200m [and 995g for the upcoming XF 50-140mm]). As many reviewers have said, it is a good weight for both the X-T1 and X-T2 cameras, providing a very good weight balance, but it's not at all bad even on the X-A1/2/3 (consistently underrated cameras; this also applies to the X-M1). I've used it on both cameras, and I would say that the physical advantage of using it on the X-T2 (and, to a lesser extent, the X-T1) is that camera's use of a much deeper, thicker hand grip, which allows you to move the camera and lens around a bit more comfortably than with the too-thin X-A1 and X-M1 bodies (but I nevertheless remain as one of those who still thinks the X-A1 is a remarkably underrated camera). As for image quality, it has all been said before. This lens, like many of its XF brethren, has nothing less than lovely image quality. Color rendition is superb, sharpness is excellent (getting sharper with a stopped down aperture, but why mess with a lens like this only to stop down the aperture?), and images have a bitingly realistic view to them. I would be tempted to use the unscientific term "clarity" or "cinematic" to describe how the images appear, and one only need to knock out a few dozen shots to see exactly what is meant by that word usage. The images that result can be highly impressive, sometimes spectacular, and with that huge aperture, not only is low-light shooting easily possible, but out-of-focus bokeh can be very well achieved. It's not a portraiture lens, but it sure wants to be. Some people report that this is their favorite Fuji lens and that the XF 23mm never comes off their camera. Besides the image quality, the field of view is a 35mm equivalent, a width that is preferred by many photographers. For me, this is a lens to use in museums and in other indoor settings, but I can just as easily use it as a street lens if I don't need something truly wide. As is, the field of view of this lens is a great one for all kinds of uses, so its use is really restricted only by the user's preferences. A nice touch is that minimum focusing distance is shorter than on most of the Fuji lenses, so you can get up pretty close to your subject, if you wish to. Shortcomings? It's hard to find very many. Like all Fuji XF primes, it has no image stabilization. Also, like most lenses, it comes with no case. Additionally, if you are a Fuji photographer (you have to be, if you are considering this lens), note that this lens has a different filter size than your other Fuji lenses (in fact, nearly all Fuji lenses have a different filter size, making you invest in an entire series of filters to cover the lot of them). And, it must be said, the lens is expensive enough to factor in price as a "shortcoming," although this is arguable, since some will argue that you get more for your money on this model than you do with equivalent lenses from different manufacturers. This ever-so-slightly "niche" lens is not necessary for one to take great photos with the Fuji X-mount system. So many of the Fuji lenses are so good that, as I have reflected in other reviews, Fuji is promoting something of a renaissance in photography (even the cheapo "XC" lenses have very good optical performance, even though they are essentially all plastic in design), and so one can pick up nearly any Fuji lens with nearly any Fuji camera and get fantastic photos. But the XF 23mm occupies a special place in the lineup. It is moderately wide, is a prime, is beautifully constructed, and has that simply huge F/1.4 light-gathering aperture that can be leveraged to effect in all types of shooting settings. It's a lovely lens that can yield lovely images that are deeply colorful, punchy, and impressively sharp. Finally, note that Fuji has now released another XF 23mm lens, but with an F/2 aperture and a modernized focusing system. This new lens is smaller and lighter and takes terrific pictures. But this "classic" 23mm lens with its huge aperture holds a place of its own. I wonder if Fuji will be able to keep this act up? I can only hope so. It's truly appreciated to see a camera company that is actually moving the technology forward and producing equipment like this. Five stars for image quality, five stars for construction quality, and four stars for price (we can't have everything, can we?). Buy it on sale if you can. (Fuji runs sales about two times per year, but then you have to be poised to jump, because the lenses sell out quickly during sales.) Plusses: ++ Excellent construction of nearly all metal and glass ++ Superb image quality that distinguishes itself from many other lenses ++ Huge F/1.4 light-gathering aperture that lets you get great bokeh and also shoot in low-light situations ++ Relatively wide angle (23mm, which is a 35mm equivalent, about 63 degrees) ++ Relatively low weight (300g) for a lens with such a large aperture and all-metal construction ++ Excellent paint cladding to the body (it may be anodized aluminum) ++ Mechanical clutch/ring for manual focusing ++ Additional mechanical aperture ring which is not too loose, like on other Fuji models ++ Very acceptable minimum focusing distance (11 inches) Minuses: -- No image stabilization (some argue that image stabilization would degrade image quality somewhat) -- No case included (I know I'm moaning about this, but why can't nice cases be included with expensive lenses?) -- Slightly larger diameter body than some of the other Fuji lenses (but this is because of it's large aperture) -- No common filter size across Fuji lenses, meaning you'll have to buy a whole set of different filter sizes -- Expensive (but the quality/price ratio may actually be better than equivalent lenses for other camera formats; buy it on sale) -- Fuji does not seal their new lenses with tape that verifies the lens has never been opened since leaving the plant -- Fuji does have some issues with their lens caps, which tend to pop off too easily ... show more

    • Simply awesome! 23mm 27mm 35mm and 18-55mm brief comparison included.
This lens is simply amazing! IQ and build quality is absolutely among the best. I feel quite obligated to write reviews on all the lens (xc16-50, 50-230, xf18-55, xf23, xf27, new xf35mm f2) that I have bought. I hope this review could help people who could not Here is the story. Firstly, I only bought the 27mm other than the xc kit lenses because it's so compact that I thought I could put my x-t10 with it right in the pocket. I used for a couple days and found some good and some bad of it. It is very good looking and compact. IQ really depends very much on the light of the environment. It is not that sharp in my opinion (center is alright) and I felt a bit disappointed. During the day, the overall IQ is pretty much the same as my xc16-50. It focuses very fast and pretty accurate.However, the reason that I returned within a week was that it made pretty loud noise when focusing. All the fuji zooms are quiet as well as the new 35mm. The 23mm makes some focus noise but is not as bad as the 27mm. If 27mm is a huge lens I would not mind too much on the focusing noise. However, the purpose for me to buy it is because I want to keep low key when I shoot. Its size fits my goal but not the sound. I returned the 27mm while invested more and got 23mm and the new 35mm which both get great reviews. I am so glade that I did that. The IQ is obviously different to me even I am not a expert in photography at all. The new 35mm has similar color rendering compared to 27mm but has better details especially for shots of people's face. The color from 23mm is simply awesome and it is sharper and better detailed everywhere even shoot wide open. Both 23mm and 35mm have great bokeh while 27mm is weaker on it. Unfortunately I returned the silver 35mm(which looks gorgeous on silver x-t10) right after I received it because of a small visible stretch/mark on the front out rim. It is a great lens and I think has much better value than 27mm since it is only $50 more. It focuses more smoothly and quietly and get better IQ and bokeh than 27mm. The size is not compact but pretty small and light. I think it fit the best to my x-t10. But I just could not stand the imperfection(even it is just a tiny stretch but it is visible right in the front rim of the lense) from such an elegant item and I paid for brand new of it. If you have the xf 18-55 kit lens, I still think this 23mm is worth to buy separately. 18-55 is should not be a kit lens at all. The overall quality and performance of it are both among the best of best in the same market. However, shooting via primes forces you think more on what you are doing and inspires you more. Zoom lenses are more versatile but easily make people lazy(at least its true to me). If you have enough in your pocket, just get 23mm and 56mm. I think those two are the best fuji primes. If you have limited budget and can only afford one prime I would say get the 35mm f2. It offers the best value with its quality and performance among fuji xf lenses. I like my xc kit lenses because they are superb for outdoors under daylight. They are relatively poorer for indoors and you definitely switch to primes for outdoor at night. Anyway, I think they are indeed underrated even I do not like the plastic mount at all. My last suggestion is to buy it from amazon. Delivery is fast and you are trusted. I felt sorry to have made some returns recently (replaced xf18-55 bundle with xc16-50+xc 50-230 bundle, returned 27mm and 35mm and some accessories like filters). I returned those all within three days because I knew what I need after comparison. It is sad that I have to do it because there is no stores offering fuji camera or lenses in my area. I wish that I could try them in bestbuy like those sony ones. I hope my review as well as others could help potential customers in deciding what product to pick. In conclusion, you get what you payed for and fuji system and lenses are impressive. ... show more
