Hey man! Cool shots as always. Yeah: this is a very special lens! I love the weather sealing and the close focussing. I love using it for events because of that.
YA its aweosme :)
For real, when i bought this new version of the 23mm f1.4 . I was blown away. I don't have alot of lenses but i do have the 18-55, 27 f2.8 new version, the 35f2, and the 23f2. None have impressed me like the new 23mm f1.4. It's razor sharp wide open and it has 9 ap blades instead of 7. which is a plus as well. In my opinion. I am using these lenses on an X-E1. Maybe the 16mp is why the sharpness impact is so noticeable IDK but i am very happy with its focus performance as well as its sharpness and the bokeh & transition to out of focus areas.
This is the lens that got me into Fujifilm. I hired this with an X-H2 and was ‘unofficial amateur photographer’ at a school fundraiser stage show. Low light performance and IQ were brilliant, and coupled with the film sims, I shared all the files as SOOC jpegs. I didn’t touch a single one.
That’s worth its weight in gold to me as with two young kids, I have no time to edit shots for hours on end.
Brilliant!
I feel the same - I've been pumping out JPEGs SOOC lately and other than wishing I could straighten some, they usually come out pretty awesome. I share them with family and then revisit them in LR or C1 later when I want to fine-tune/make higher resolution files (but with better compression) for printing.
But I mean how hard would it be for Fuji to make it so we could do the adjustments in real-time sorta like an iPhone? The in-camera interface is SO clunky - make a change, preview, make a change, preview, etc. until its about right. Plus I find myself making a lot of large files that I then have to crop/re-size after creation. I usually am in the ballpark with my default "recipe" but doing 25 images the other night still took me like an hour+ and more time when rating/focus checking. Frankly I can't really win either way! Its either instant gratification, or waiting until I can sit down and really focus.
Great lens. I have all the newer 1.4 and 1.2 fuji lenses for my hS2 and love them for their performance
Everything performs better on the XH2s!
Yeah man. This lens rocks. I miss it sometimes!
Get another one! ☝️
I love this lens so much.
same!
Awesome post..This focal length I use the most, Love it, For me its just the price point of this lens that holds me back .Im still using the O.G 23 1.4. .at times im tempted to get the f2 but I like having the 1.4 for indoors, hope things are going well, High five,,
high 5
I run with 18mm, 23mm and 33mm f1.4 set. Love them all for different reasons. Use 23mm most in street 18mm most in landscape. 33mm is lovely for anything at all too.
ahh so you're like me!
The thing that resonates with me is when you said, it sparks your creativity. I have the 33, 23 and the 18. All these have linear motors, and they all spark my creativity, especially in street photography.
The secret is mixing them up when you do your street, it forces you to see the world differently by switching out the lenses from time to time. Brings you photographs that you wouldn’t have gotten with just one or two of the lenses.
I suggest you try the 18 again, as it’s one of my absolute favorites! 🖖
I will, i will have to revisit the 18 again as per your request and many others! :)
@@Iamtongue
I’m big in architecture and nature with the 18. The sharpness with the 18 and the XT5 & 40 megapixels really helps my nature shots.
With street I really get an interesting perspective, since it’s around 27 mm. I don’t use it as often as I do the 33 and the 56, but it really gives me a different perspective that I like.
My current favorite combo: 23mm 1.4 WR LM and 56mm 1.2 WR. I would never trade either one.
Why not 50mm 1.0?
I got the same combo! I love it
@@Iamtongue any reason why not the 50mm 1.0?
@@cyb i don't like the f1.0 i rather get the xf 50mm f2
@@Iamtongue didnt know 1.0 was older lol
Got one recently and you’re right even on my xt3 it produces sharp images 🎉
Nice! Enjoy the lens dude
@@patriotsfan696 same here bro keep rocking with my xt3 with my brand new 23 1.4
Excellent review. I love my 23mm 1.4 LM WR as well. I prefer it over the 18mm.
Do you find it makes sense to own the 18 and the 23 at the same time?
@@Iamtongue not for me. I have the 16mm 2.8 and the 18-55 as well. I just tested the 18mm 1.4 and returned it. I was going to use it for video, but there’s too much focus breathing. I saved all the footage. I think I’ll make a video about it.
Nice Video and pictures~
Could you compare fuji 23f1.4 vs lumix 35f1.8 plz
I don't own the lumix system anymore unfortunately...
Great video !! I have all the new Fuji lm lenses and recently I bought a canon r6mkii with that super expensive rf28-70mm lens and wow the Fuji xf23mm 1.4 produces way better Images on my xh2 than the canon gear!! I was so surprised how much the images pop on the 40mp sensor compared to canons 24mp full frame camera!! And in my experience Fuji xf18 and 24mm new lenses are just super stellar lenses and probably nearly as good as the 5k Leica lenses 😊
That’s crazy! I thought the f2 zoom + full frame was surely better 😱🤯
@@Iamtongue I spent over 6k on canon camera and lens and am disappointed that there isn’t hardly any noticeable difference in image quality but there is a noticeable difference between full frame and medium format gfx
@@Snapit551 What if you purchased that CANON 50mm F1.2 L? that would certainly pop wouldn;t it? 😂
@@Iamtongue yes that rf50 mm f1.2 is quite an awesome lens
The 23 and 33 are my most used lenses equally, but I also have the 56mm and the 90mm which I like a lot. The 56mm is not been use to Much so a may sell it
I wish i still had the 90!
I have the Sigma 23mm F/1.4 DC DN I love this lens, I could not justify the cost of the Fujifilm, for what was un-noticeable differences to me in image quality.. but since I got an X100 VI LE, I just am not using anything else much now :)
enjoying your new toy too much eh!
@@Iamtongue yeah, and it's so hard not to love the x100VI
Im curious if the amount of distortion bothers you, something the wider 18mm doesn’t actually exhibit, and is the smaller lens
I haven't experienced any distortions with this lens.
Do you notice any difference in image *quality* between this and the F2 lens (aside from sharpness and DOF)? I know in lens charts it’s not quite as perfect, but for casual shots it’s a lot smaller and cheaper. I’m thinking of buying the F2 if it’s basically the same IQ unless pixel peeping. Thanks!
if you stop it down from f5.6 to f8 there is absouletly no difference between the two lenses... I couldn't tell a difference.
@@Iamtongue awesome. Thanks!
How do you feel the 23mm F1.4 WR LM compares to the 23mm in the X100VI? If a crazy guy had, for example, an X-T5 and an X100VI, would he still be advised to get the 23mm F1.4 WR LM?
I’m a crazy guy 😀
If you have money and you wanan mess around with the f1.4 to see if it’s for you go for it. The worst thing that could happen is you return it, or you sell it and you take a loss. I look at it as the cost of renting a lens 😂
You can always rent the 23mm and check yourself, places like aperturent will rent it for like 50$ for a 7 days
had the 18mm but its too wide and IQ was meh, i exchanged for the 23mm
Do You like more this or new 33mm?
Yes.
@@Iamtongue I thought I like 33 more but… 23 is also needed! So I guess need to own both of them or… 35mm on my Canon R8 and 33mm on Fuji… to not double focal lengths. I’m also very curious in sharpness comparison for example between canon RF35mm1.8 full frame and new fuj 23mm 1.4wr lm cuz I think they are identical in result!
@@mike.k 33 (equivalent to 50) is what is considered a "normal" focal length whereas the 23 is more wide-angle, as my dad who was a professional photographer was always telling me - you will generally find more use for a slightly wider angle lens than for the normal lens. I agree with him but clearly it depends on your style of photography and how you like to shoot.
33mm is a little better for bokeh/portrait if that's your thing - the lens is a little "softer" but in a satisfying way. IMO 23mm is the way to go - partly because I believe it also focuses the closest/highest magnification. I love "quasi macro" lenses.
@@matt88169 yup, I agree
This lens or the viltrox 27mm f1.2?
if you're on a budget, get hte viltrox. If you want something that is gonna be bit smaller in size wiht better minimum focusing distance the 23mm f1.4
if you'd like to do a video comparing it to the old viltrox 23 1.4, i'll let you borrow mine
HAHA you're going to ship it to portugal? 🇵🇹😂
@@Iamtongue my partner will be in Lisbon in a week, i'll have her drop it off to you
@@JamesStreetStreet haha no no it’s okay! I live 3 hours south of Lisbon 😅😂
This lens is legendary…but I can definitely see someone choosing to use the 18+33 as a combo. I prefer the 23+56 as a do anything combo. There is pretty much nothing I dislike about the lens other than it’s price, which is a little high. Nikon sells a 35mm f/1.8 for about the same price which makes me ponder picking up a Nikon FF someday….but I am pretty sure this Fuji lens is all-around better.
I feel the same way
the nikon 35mm 1.8 lens isn't sharp at 1.8
@@astromech2530 Thanks - yes that is a bummer as the Fuji is razor sharp wide-open and crisp at F/2 ish which is where I have it set quite a lot.
I am sure it provides excellent quality. But just can't bring myself to replace it for my 23mm F2. Sure the F1.4 will be better - but if I go out, my F2 would win every time and be attached to camera my just because it is so easy to carry around. I am full in with the mantra you are better taking something than nothing. If I want to take a lens out that size, it would be the 18-55mm zoom lens. Maybe I am just not a "proper" photographer obsessed with Bokeh and should just use my iPhone instead :)
It's all about finding what works best for you and your style of photography!
That 3d pop happens with this lens
wait until you shoot with a GFX!
3d pop is a made up term. The Fuji cameras are incapable of creating a three dimensional image.
