Review on πŸ“· VILTROX 23mm Fuji F1.4 New Version: Auto Focus APS-C Lens for Fujifilm X-Mount Camera X-Pro 3 & X-Pro 2 by Solomon Inks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

This lens is definitely worth getting if you don't already have a 23mm!

Okay, first I want to say that I'm not a "pro" or "authoritative" source, but I really love photography. Ever since I switched to Fujifilm I've searched the market for 23mm lenses but the only choice I had were Fujifilm lenses. I like the portability of f/2, but I've always liked f/1.4 rendering. When I heard that Viltrox were offering their 23s, 33s and 56s at these prices I decided I had to have them all. I use 23mm Fujifilm X-T3 and X-H1. Autofocus was very fast, comparable to the Fujinon 35mm and much faster than the 18-55 kit. Low light photography was also good. The only thing I want is a weather shield, but I have to keep in mind that this lens is only $330. For me, this lens beats its price. The only issues are chromatic aberrations (which can be corrected in post-processing), but they're not that significant. This lens also looks like an old cinema lens. You get some "character" items that will come in handy if you're interested. It's cheaper than OEMs and works just as well.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
