Pros: Optical quality, construction quality, manual focus

Cons: Lampshed, not wr

Opinion: Fantastic optics, the best ever tried on Fuji. Very nice blurry and for a 35mm eq. on aps-c it is not at all obvious, made colors with excellent progressive nuances, three-dimensionality, sharpness even at full opening, correct optically and not via software. I do not consider it either bulky or heavy, the dimensions count only if you want to use the optical viewfinder on x-pro as it covers a small part of the frame, but I do not use the optical viewfinder on x-pro. If I have to find him a flaw, the fact that he's not wr and the usual plastic lampshed unavailable Fuji. The Af is slightly noisy and not as lightning-fast as the f2, but it doesn't give any problems in practical use.

Pros: Lots of Pros

Cons: Lampshh but ordered immediately together optically the fantastic Metal LH-XF 23 Lampshon.

Opinion: Arrived two hours ago some tests done with various diaphragms and distances. First impression I wonder what weaknesses at this 23 1.4 Fuji I would say difficult maybe AF but I would say behaves very well on my Fuji X-T3 very precise but certainly slow and noisy compared to the 23 2.0 although I have to say that with my Fuji X-T3 setting AF Multi Zone surprises the focus speed on the 23 1.4 Fuji. Perhaps very slight angles drop at the outer corners sharpness at F1.4/2.0 lighter color aberration easy to remove certainly behaves better than 16 1.4 in terms of chromatic aberrations however nothing dramatic on the 23 1.4 Fuji. Paraluce bought immediately optically the lampshon LH-FX 23 for the 23 1.4 Fuji excellent lampshh the original I would say NO as almost all Fuji lampshhs leave something to be desired. Sharpness Contasti Colors little to say I would say excellent focus and possibility with excellent manual focus ring. Overall rating mine but I would say in line with the fantastic 16 1.4 Fuji or even better the chromatic aberrations. After first impressions checked and done further tests I am fully satisfied I would say perfect even at the corners those who most likely complain found a not good faulty pair unfortunately happens. This lens to something as difficult to explain magical as the 35 1.4 Fuji but the 23 1.4 at angles with sharper clarity. Then my personal opinion extremely recommendable.

Pros: Colors, Sharpness, Construction Quality, in short, almost everything.

Cons: Lens hood

Opinion: Fantastic goal, among the best I tried. I believe that those who have expressed negative opinions have previously had a failed copy. The images it returns are fantastic, not at all digital, with delicate tonal passages, bokeh among the best ever seen (for an apsc), great aperture of shadows and excellent sharpness already at f1.4 where it loses something at the edges, but little stuff. To buy if you like the focal without ifs and buts.

Pros: right focus according to the way I shoot. magical rendering and super sharpness from f2 onwards. certainly at f1.4 it's a bit soft but you know that this opening serves a certain type of photo. diaframmi diaframmi sliding the right. unique manual focus mechanism. AF not very fast and dumb but does its duty.

Cons: I did not find anything particularly serious, but if we want the footprint and the weight are important, but a lens like this could not be light.

Opinion: I bought this used lens at an attractive price especially for the focal point congenial to me. I tried everything but the fixed focal points are my passion. I mainly use the 35 mm on FF and fischeye for some creative shots. I must say that the fuji quality is felt all, the sharpness is among the merits of this lens even in the backlight. robust and well-built objective. If you want advice put some money aside and buy it. you won't regret it.

Pros: Sharpness, very intense and real color, precise in the Af. Precise ghiere.

Cons: Very glorud the clumsy, maybe even too much.

Opinion: I bought the lens from a couple of days and I immediately fell in love with it, I replaced the 35 F2 which is already a nice lens, fast and has a very mormido blurred one, but this is really another dimension. Slightly noisy af but not bothered, Fast and never misses a beat. For now I have almost always shot at 1.4, I will try to ask and appreciate the rendering of this lens on all the focal points. I also shot in the night with a mix of artificial lights the yield remains superb in colors, fast in the mf. Precise dials with the ability to manually refine af. Luckily I didn't buy the Viltrox 23 1.4, which was unsoaked. I'm going to leave her staring at my little Xe3 for a long time. Andrew

Pros: Construction Quality

Cons: Image Quality

Opinion: After Months of Use I sold it without Rancori Bought To Make Portraits Set but at All Opening Too Soft already From the Disastrous Center to the Edges Closing Improves but to get to a noteworthy result you have to get to F4 At that Point completely loses His Utility for What Is Needed to Me The First Lens to Remake Of Fuji (the Bright Fixes I had them all and this is the worst for me Fast and Precise Lens Built Very Well Unique Happy Note

Pros: Opening, construction, fabulous yield

Cons: Horrible lampshade, a noisy thread in the MAF

Opinion: Goal to buy, without ifs and buts. One of the best for the Fuji X system, a very bright actual 35mm for excellent environmental portraits, street and why not even some landscape. Fantastic color yield, addictive... once mounted you will hardly remove it. Only neo the original lampshade really ugly and maybe a noisy wire in the focus, defect shared with the brother 35 1.4 but here less accentuated.

Pros: Image quality, construction, aperture ring.

Cons: Original lens hood, compared to WR F/2 version less fast in AF.

Opinion: Bought used thanks to the market here on Juza with metal lens hood JJC (much better than the original). Used a whole weekend in Rome, never disassembled from my little X-E3 (I say small because compared to the lens looks like a flea) has a quality that really left me open-mouthed already TA. I had a 23 F2 and this is another world. It's worth all the money it costs and it drives me crazy that by moving the ring back you switch to manual without being able to change settings in the car. The only flaw compared to the small WR F2 is that in the AF is slightly more uncertain in some cases but nothing serious. To have without if and without MA.

Pros: Construction, yield, brightness, versatility

Cons: Hood

Opinion: I have only recently reached this lens but from the first tests I believe I have finally reached the peace of mind. I was in love with the 35mm focal length (equivalent) using the X100T, for the practical genres and for my tastes is the ideal focal length: wide-angle enough to give breath to the landscape image (while maintaining a natural perspective), perfect for street , and still "human" in the set portrait. While with the X100T but in the long run I did not find myself as ergonomics, I find this lens combined with my perfect X-E1 in terms of balance. The yield is, in my opinion, simply spectacular - corrected optically, much already engraved by f1.4, but the real strength for me are the colors and the contrast never exaggerated, which returns very malleable files in post. The blurred clearly is not (and can not be) as soft as the one of 35 / 1.4 I had before, but I still find it pleasant and more than enough to detach the subject from the background even in chaotic situations. The building then givestwo runs at 35 / 1.4 - this 23 is a small boulder, the right hand brake linings, no play, no "empty" feeling - 300 grams of pure tactile pleasure. The AF is fast enough for me (I still use a body with poor performance and I do not doubt that on more recent models goes even better) and as I have seen so far extremely precise even in difficult conditions, however I was a little surprised that is noisy almost as much as the 35 / 1.4.rnrnUnica sore note, as mentioned by others, the hood - does its dirty work, but it is definitely "landing" with respect to the quality of construction and the price of optics. The sooner I will try to repair the square Fuji metal shade (used) or the JJC equivalent.

Pros: Sharpness, blurry, available range, brightness

Cons: The hood ...

Opinion: I agree with the views expressed previously by those who have it. Indeed, a very good lens I always use in combination with xpro 2 (I do not disconnect it ever), I forgive a lot compared to 35 mm, which I also find excellent for sharpness and focal, with regard to the field angle giving exactly l 'idea what the street is. I also have the 14th, great, but the 23 is incredibly "natural" as far as it can frame the scene and return it to the pictures. In the b & w, which is my main use, it is exceptional for poor distortion and ensures excellent shadow and high light recovery, along with the current 24-volt sensor. Strictly speaking, the quality is paid and the price I find appropriate even if I did not try the younger brother f2 who say it is faster in the maf, actually in the sometimes somewhat laborious 23, probably also due to some imperfection on my part in choosing of the autofocus menus. In my opinion the drama of the hood is that it is%3B plastic, the shape could also be tolerated, it always seems to have to break it.

Pros: Sharpness, color, blur.

Cons: nobody

Opinion: A massive vintage looking lens (such as the Fuji X cameras) and very well-built. The diaphragm ring is very soft and you can set up a third of the diaphragm. Manual focusing is very fluid and it is really a pleasure to use it. Sharpness is gorgeous, magnifying your photos to the computer you can see the finest details. The color is wonderful and the blur is very beautiful. Distortion is absent. It reminds me when I used the Nikon Fm2 years ago with Nikkor 35mm. And the Kodachrome 64 film .... It's the fucking goal of my Fuji kit. Ideal for reportage, landscape, set portraits and interior photos. A great goal.

Pros: Constructive quality, colors, blurred, focus ring

Cons: nobody

Opinion: After several months of use I must say that it is definitely the best lens I have ever had. RnThe use for anything, portraits included, merit of a wonderful blur. RnThe focus ring is so well designed to make the autofocus (though fast) useless. RnThe photos are always perfect, under any condition of light. The colors are gorgeous, once you shoot very little post production, the photos come out as you want them to be. RnI have not tried the metal hood yet, but I think it will be one of the next purchases.

Pros: constructive and optical quality, sharpness and bokeh

Cons: Aperture setting ring a little 'soft lens hood to say the least bad for the cost

Opinion: Over the years I tried various 35mm eq. and this remains one of my favorites. Excellent yield and colors as blurry. Sharp already at TA. On the construction you can not say anything, the Fuji lenses are all well done. Only flaw is that horrible plastic hood that even creaks sometimes. Sometimes I went to him to buy the metal, but € 50 is far too long.

Pros: Image quality - light - switching from autofocus to manual

Cons: ridiculous hood

Opinion: Beautiful lens, which forces you to move around to find the right point of recovery, but that gives sharp pictures already in TA. Closing a little bit becomes crystal clear and the colors are fantastic, very good blurred. I find it very convenient to switch from autofocus to manual focosu moving forward or backward the focus ring. Aside from the hood I find that it is very well built and solido.rnDa have!

Pros: Image quality in general - light - well made of etched depth of field scale

Cons: Autofocus a bit noisy Hood infamous !!!

Opinion: After almost a year, I promote the rule of law as my favorite lens. Exceptional quality for image sharpness, color and contrast and a nice focus, although this is not one of my priorities. I use it so much even for "street" at night, where the great brightness allows you to easily shoot handheld without fear. Get a veil sull'inguardabile hood ........ do not understand that it is taken in Fuji when he drew !!! In conclusion, if you love the fixed (and of course the type of focal) can not possibly ignore it

Pros: Sharpness-Brightness-solid-costruzionern

Cons: Hood inguardabile- weight-footprint

Opinion: This is not a lens is any ... THE LENS ... I was amazed by the image quality and the sense of solidity in use ... for the first time I am in trouble in post (positive) in regulating the sharpness of Raw, I have to be look not to overdo it because it is a blade at all apertures ... bokeh, considering the focal length, is very nice and soft and very well also manageable in TA ... only sour note ... the hood ... for 900 € lens I would have expected something much more decent, the style of those of 1835, and 60 ... metal and at least a bit more discreet as it should be an ideal focus for the streetphotography ... certain is optimized to avoid flare and vignetting, but a little more care in design would not spoiled saw the final prezzo.In tHE lens is a spectacle, impossible not innamorarsene.rnAttenzione, is not a lens suitable for everyday use and must keep well that is a big, heavy lens, it is likely to get bored in the long run, despite the qualityare eccellentirn

Pros: Sharpness, compact, made in TA, three-dimensional and color rendering ... maf maf car fast, easy and accurate manual, perfect ring diaphragms, indeed almost no distortion, bokeh that crazy, price (previously this figure is great compared to the fees )

Cons: Perhaps the hood, but it's not really a flaw in me is fine ... just to be picky

Opinion: Always used a Nikon 35 mm on the right, I have to say that the focal sometimes I was uncomfortable, once I bought the xe2, I am interested in this lens, and decided to have a few millimeters less than the 35 and prendo.rnProvato immediately. ..amore to first shot, crisp, even at TA, we do everything from portraits to landscapes to street, maf fast, in short, makes kit alone, not to mention the three-dimensionality that gives it clicks ... I was fascinated, tried church weddings, amazing blurred, off plans and above all is very affected ... I think I am the best lens I have in the kit !!! A must must-have

Pros: compact, lightweight, quality construction and optics, sharpness

Cons: for me the hood is embarrassing

Opinion: It 'a fixed lens-rounder perfect for Fuji XT1. Goes well with the camera body is not at all cumbersome indeed, is very compact and lightweight, perfect for cases vintage leather. I tried it both day (exceptional) that especially at night where he gave me a lot of satisfaction being able to shoot handheld with the times and iso decent at full aperture. Excellent build quality, outstanding optical. The lens in question is a blend of clarity already in TA, but if you close 1-2 Stop become stratospheric. Great for street, reportage, landscape, landscapes, portraits and ambientati not. Truly a gem that I think has a cost that justifies the high performance. The downside is definitely the lens hood, which on this occasion is ridiculous ... although I must admit that with the Fuji lens hood also did worse (see my review 16-55 f2.8 R WR). It is not clear why Fuji does not heed these little things that make a lens even more precious and affascinante, as well as functional ... even I will resort to the metal hood on ebay, patience !!! Overall my final grade is the highest (9.5), congratulations to Fujifilm is churning because camera bodies and lenses really exceptional.

Pros: excellent construction, optical quality, very crisp.

Cons: the hood horrendous. I can not find other flaws.

Opinion: I would say excellent optics, a handyman in practice I use it to do landscapes, Street, and reportage. very sharp, blurred maybe some 'duretta but cmq remains a must-have !!! ico a neo to FUJI is that with the hood seems to hate them. admittedly not FUJI stà wrong perspective, produces high-quality lenses, of course you pay for !!!

Pros: Solid construction, virtually no distortion, sharpness superlative build quality exceptional.

Cons: None (oh, the price? ...)

Opinion: I state that I come by the combination Canon 5D mk II - 35mm f / 1.4, and with no little amazement I see that this objective has a higher quality than that of the noble lens Canon (blurred except that it is not very "mushy"). For those looking for quality without compromise this lens is a must: I could not part with it even when I took a Fujifilm X100T, which has the same focal length 23mm (fixed). Someone complains hood, perhaps this aspect Fujifilm could have done more, given that it is a slow "premium", but for me it's also okay.

Pros: Solid, gives the impression of having suffered serious perspective in his hands, crystal clear, well-designed

Cons: Hood not adequate

Opinion: Optics wonderful, a handyman must-have if you want to image quality in a small body mirrorless.rnIo that use X-E2, because compared to the XT1 prefer setting Leica around with this light "welded" to the car and I do everything: landscape, reportage, portrait ambientato.rnMolto crisp, blur nervous definitely not creamy, but with great carattere.rnMessa focus precise and relatively quick. Great performance both in color and in black and nero.rnUn bit of chromatic aberration and distortion especially at wide openings contenuta.rnCome said in contrast, the lens hood is huge and not adequate. I replaced it with a circular metal hood that is easily found on ebay or amazon for less than € 10rnFa kit alone, but if coupled to 14:56 makes complete equipment.

Pros: Sharpness, construction

Cons: I would say no

Opinion: It 'was love at first shot ... have a yield that turns my x-1 and does not look bad in compare to D800.rnLo blurred and is great off the subject in a soft backgrounds with confusi.rnLA construction is flawless . They say that the aperture ring is soft ... but what does it mean? the shots are well spaced and noticeable so even if chissen soft ... just the control is precise. Surely I would have preferred a tougher nut and less sharpness precisa.rnLa TA is superb as is the vignette very small. The AF is fast due to the characteristics of the lens and also precise (it is the x-1 ... I do not dare to imagine on an x-pro or a xt-1) is not .rnSicuramente piccolissmo ... but it's still a 23 f / 1.4. Maybe because I'm used to them FX and a 35mm f / 1.4 is larger maggiori.rnSe well I'm forced to find a flaw is the switch between AF and manual focus ... I never put up with commands to "pump" but maybe that's my problem. ;)

Pros: Dazzling throughout

Cons: I can not really find

Opinion: A wonderful lens! 1.4 RNA seems to me to be with my Canon EF 35 L 2.8!! RnNitidezza beautiful, brightness, and color rendering as a reference! rnQualcuno defines heavy and cumbersome, someone else calls it expensive. Excuse me, do not be offended, but perhaps until yesterday You shot with compact machines pocket! I come from more than 20 years of FF and Canon L-series lenses and 23 Fujinon then this big I do not see it, is something heavy is something much less expensive! RnAbbinato then the ability of X-ISO-T1 lets you shoot more and all light conditions without regretting the flash (another object bulky and heavy). rnInsomma for those who have a Fuji X lens this is a must! rnConsigliatissimo!

Pros: quality 'image quality' barrel, quality 'image to the TA, the beautiful out of focus, the focus ring fantastic, lock ring focus

Cons: backlight from f5.6, lens hood RIDICULOUS, I would have preferred a slightly more objective 'small

Opinion: The first thing I can say is that I am fully satisfied with the quality 'image in general, TA is monstrous and is easy to use with excellent grip in barilotto.rnLa thing you notice about this lens as soon as you open the box that is ugly paraluce.Brutto, great, it's ridiculous! do not understand what he thought Fuji at that time when he chose this paraluce.Comunque apart from that the lens is very noble and bene.Materiali touch gives you an excellent grip. I would have preferred a slightly longer barrel 'small but I do not complain because for 700 euro takes home a lens eccezionale.rnLa ring focus is fantastica.Quando using the AF automatically ring is locked, and very ready to be unlocked mode 'manual where in my opinion is very easy to use (X-E1). Focusing is fast and accurate and I am very soddisfatto.Non I really like the backlight, because f5.6 on the sun and her toes arebe reflected in creating some problema.rnSu gaming Fuji is to have assolutamente.rnVOTO 9.5

Pros: Definition at room temperature, out of focus and detachment pleasant, excellent construction

Cons: to the limit as the size of x-e1, perfect on x-t1. No other against

Opinion: Definitely the best lens fuji among those who have had the pleasure of using, perhaps 14 holds its own as quality. I changed the 35 to 23 because as focal pleases me more, I would never go back, pure entertainment. I can understand when someone says that with 35 you do everything, do not you ever staccherei from the machine.
