Fujifilm Fujinon XF 23 mm f/1.4 R LM WR

11. Summary

Pros:

solid, weather-sealed casing, mostly made of metal,
sensational image quality in the frame centre,
very good image quality on the edge of the frame,
negligible longitudinal chromatic aberration,
excellent correction of lateral chromatic aberration,
sensible coma correction,
blur areas pleasing to the eye,
efficient, silent, and accurate autofocus.

Cons:

a bit too high vignetting,
performance against bright light should have been better.

The results of our test show clearly that refreshing the 1.4/23 model was a very good idea. The new lens provides an excellent image quality across the frame, no matter what aperture you employ. Taking into account the fact that you deal here with a fast, wide-angle lens such an achievement is especially praiseworthy.

The price of the Fujinon XF 23 mm f/1.4 R LM WR is not low, reaching $900, but complaining here would be justified only if the lens had some serious slip-ups. Our test showed that it performs exceedingly well in almost all categories so you can only shrug and say that high quality doesn't come cheap.
