Product Overview
The VILTROX 23mm f/1.4 X-Mount Lens is a high-quality prime wide-angle lens designed specifically for Fujifilm X-mount mirrorless cameras.

Exceptional Autofocus Performance
The lens features an advanced Auto Focus system powered by an STM stepping motor. This technology enables quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance, ensuring that you never miss a moment.

Pros
- Build quality, sharpness, colors, a lot of software firmware, there is a profile for Lightroom, price.
Cons
- I do not observe this.
Pros
- 1. Sharp 2. Cheaper than 23/1.4 from Fujinon 3. Autofocus is faster than Fujinon
Cons
- So far, the only drawback is exactly the same as that of Fujinon 23 / 1,4 - if you photograph architecture or nature on autofocus, then the machine often misses the focus. Indeed, very often. In the example: a photo with a corner of the house, the focus is normal. The photo with the window is a miss. This is one place, one conditions, one house. The difference is a couple of clicks on the trigger.
