Opinion:I had all the 23mm available for FUJIFILM system, f2 Fuji, f1.4 Fuji MK1 and 2x 1.4 viltrox (due to poor quality control) and now I've come to this. It has nothing to do with any other of the aforementioned 23mm. It's just perfect: absolute sharpness at any aperture, no signs of chromatic aberrations, instant focus, perfectly resistant rings. I was afraid of losing that very particular look of the 1.4 Fujifilm MK1, but in reality I had to change my mind, it kept much of that charm, but improved everything else. Tested on my X-T5 and X-H2 it makes its best, but I guess it's a pleasure even on older systems. If you like the equivalent 35mm, this is the lens to have without ifs and buts. Personally I think it is worth the investment compared to the MK1 even just for tropicalization, beyond the optical yield, which allows you to always use it without thoughts.

Pros:Perfect, construction, fine sharpness at the outermost corners, rings.
Cons:Nobody.
Opinion:Arrived an hour ago tried to make comparison with my 18 1.4 but difficult to distinguish which better of the two I immediately notice less internal movements optical group much less noisy than the 18 1.4 Fuji and I like this on the 23 1.4 WR. Tried yield on distances near and far but nothing to complain I would say perfect and I could not cause chromatic aberrations in difficult conditions certainly much better than the 23 2.0 / 23 1.4 flare etc. I would say good behavior this 23 1.4 WR I like more than the 33 1.4 but maybe even personal matter I do not like focal 33mm. Also tried AF eyes since I had read some complaints, try with X-H2 + 23 1.4 WR I say only fabulous behavior. Also interesting that ring to adjust the aperture on this 23 1.4 WR I would say perfect with clicks on 33 1.4 maybe a moment too 18 1.4 too I leave but long ago slipped fallen to the ground since then the diaphragm 18 1.4 became perfect and fortunately the optics did not immediately harm. If I remove even the small defect that the 18 1.4 noise internal movement optical group this 23 1.4 WR I can not find weak point then my evaluation remains without cons. If someone has not yet tried these new WR 1.4 Fujifilm will be impressed by the quality especially if used with new 40 MP sensors at full aperture not comparable with other fixed lenses Fuji let alone zoom we also recommend a focal length 23mm as a perfect all-rounder.

Pros:Crisp at TA, af optimized for video, contained distortions, contained vignetting, closed aperture star effect, record-breaking minimum focusing distance, Fuji colors kept at 100%, lightweight, tropicalized
Cons:The abbreviation OIS is missing, but it would not have been so clear for lack of some optical group for the management of spaces
Opinion:The 23 Fuji 1.4 R WR is a separate category from the other 23 mm simil 35mm , the viltrox is cold and not optimized for the ibis of Fuji camera bodies , the 23 f2 wr has fewer fields of use and the focus is not bad but it is not like this 1.4 II , the 23 1.4 old Fuji fails to keep up in the slightest with this new in every comparison is sawn . This 23 mm 1.4 II represents a fundamental lens to manage ceremonies between video and photo leads you to a unique solution on a stabilized body, I would be willing to sell the Fuji 50 1.0 wr and my other two bodies to mount this wonder on an xh2 , I would manage everything great with a single solution , on ff there is no 35 mm f 2 with the intrinsic qualities of this lens , the same SONY GMs would be in trouble with this wonder
Pros:Tropicalization, lightning fast and silent autofocus, extreme sharpness
Cons:Weight and lack of the clutch-system (compared to the previous one)
Opinion:I owned the previous XF 23mm 1.4, and I changed it to this new version: I didn't regret it at all. The tropicalization, the very fast and silent autofocus, and the extreme sharpness even at f 1.4, are worth the passage. Perhaps the only flaw is the weight, not entirely negligible but that in any case on an X-Pro 3 remains very well balanced, but you have to get used to it (especially if you come from Fujicron f. 2 optics). Exceptional optics, the best (for me) travel companion as a handyman (Repotage/Street and Portrait), highly recommended.
Pros:Lightweight, compact, stellar resolution, blurry and build quality
Cons:It looks like a toy compared to the old 23 1.4. But maybe it's not really a con
Opinion:Taken in hand looks like a toy compared to the old 23 1.4. Then you mount it and start shooting and... O_O was impressed. Stellar optical resolution, great blur, great AF. Little else to say, a modern and practical perspective that does not regret the old 23 1.4 in anything. Extremely happy with the gearbox. Fujifilm does not joke and makes another gem to carry around jaunty pulling out impeccable shots.
