![]() | Viltrox AF 23mm f/1.4 Pros: Sharpness, colors, aperture, construction, AF Cons: Weight, TA vignetting, AF in dynamic situation with face and eye tracking at TA Opinion: Used for 1 year on Fuji XT30. I am very satisfied. I use it mainly in manual focus or with back button for sufficiently static AF situations, and in these conditions it gives considerable satisfaction. Like all 23mm he is an excellent "storyteller", with a character all his own. I've never tried Fuji's 23mm 1.4, but I own the 50mm F2. Compared to this it is considerably heavier, on XT30 you can feel it, but you get used to it, and with additional grip (I keep it fixed, as a base for quick hooking to the tripod) it is not a big problem. Colors very different from Fuji, colder and tending to blue blue, but some Fuji lenses are too hot. In PP everything is arranged. Excellent rings, to me the continuous sliding of the opening does not bother. Infinite fire not perfect, actually mine is just before, but if you test it in bright light with Focus peaking is not a problem: I brought home excellent shots of the Milky Way at 1.4. By the way, at 1.4 when used for very close portraits the autofocus of the XT30 does not make it, the plane of focus is too thin, and 8/10 you will find the eye out of focus. For these situations it is necessary to manually adjust, or close from 2.8 upwards... or use the 50 F2 that distorts less and has an atomic autofocus! But the portrait is not the primary use of this 23. For reportage, travel, street, general photography, once the aperture from 5.6 to 9 is fixed, you will take home dozens of very clean, sharp, deep shots. Nothing to do with zoom kits. In addition, at night the 1.4 is a godsend, both for the stars and "on the ground". At this price... highly recommended for me sent on November 10, 2021 |
