all the cool kids..with their cool lens...and their cool aperture....with their cool focal length...

Would love to see a side to side Fiji's prime lenses (18, 23, 33, 56) how would that look as a set and how good they match in colours, sharpness, microcontrast etc.

Truly exceptional lens! Well worth the money and definitely my ‘best’ lens.

Your photos taken with this lens are amazing. Subscribed !

Yep. Used it at a wedding on the XT5 and XH2s. Brilliant on both!

[JungleCatImages]

LOVE this combo.. as good as anything I've ever used

[josecolon]

OMG you got Coco back at the video! You’re killing us man! That sister is flaming hot!!!! The most beautiful model in your channel yet!

Got it, love it (on my X-T5, for reference). The closest focusing distance gets you really close and, since it's a wide angle, you still show a lot of the environment. And at f/1.4 you get great subject pop too, it's *really* good! But I reserve the right to still GAS for other lenses, of course...

I was torn between the 23 and 33. I went with the 33 due to my preference for 50mm equivalent focal range ... but this 23 is always creeping back into my want list. Thanks BTW, thanks for bringing this lens back up 😀

[dimitarkotsev]

Amazing portraits, man! You make this lens look good!

[Patrick]

I watched your videos and ended up with the 23mm Voigtländer. That lens is fun. It has really nice bokeh and is small.
I was also thinking about this lens. I tried it out, but I liked the Voigtländer more. Of course if you need the autofocus it's another story.

anyway I like your content. Greeting from Germany. :-)

I currently have 35mm f1.4 r on xt5 and sometimes I do feel it's a bit tight, miss the focal length of 23mm on my x100v so I am adding 23mm f1.4 r to my want list. Yes the old one due to its weight and price.. 23mm is very versatile for street and even portrait imo.

I haven’t tried this lens but it looks amazing 😮 love you too ❤

[vladimir_filipas]

Nice review as always! I need to try this lens sometime in the future 😁

[tamsaiming]

My combo now: xh2s, 23 1.4 r lm wr, viltrox 75 1.2 pro. Best of the best

[sclogse]

I get such great stuff from the 23mm 2.0 around f4 that this improvement must be stellar. My 23mm at f5.6 has the sharpest edge to edge of all my Fuji lenses, including the 16 1.4 and the 90mm 2.0 . I guess I lucked out, considering the stories I've heard. No, I don't shoot it wide open.

[SquirrelHybrid]

23 & 56 are my current main lenses - the 56 is pretty much prescription glasses for the sensor.
Any plans to revisit the 18? 🤔

[CheerleaderTW]

I think it will be an issue for Sigma 23mm f1.4 on Auto Focus, Fujifilm always restrict( ban) third party's Auto Focus fuction.

[adamdevries]

Great post curious which lenses you own on the fuji system?

[simon]

Funny, you should mention this lens, as I just picked it up. I waited until I could find it used and save 100 bucks!
I started shooting models again, so I needed something in the focal length. The 18 was too wide and the 33 was a bit too long. Feel like I’m using the analogy of the three bears and porridge! 🤣 🖖
