Description of 📷 VILTROX 23mm Fuji F1.4 New Version: Auto Focus APS-C Lens for Fujifilm X-Mount Camera X-Pro 3 & X-Pro 2

【for Fujifilm X-mount】Prime wide-angle lens is designed for APS-C-format FUJIFILM X-mount mirrorless cameras and provides a 35mm equivalent focal length. Due to its physical design, this lens is not suitable for use on the FUJIFILM X-Pro3 camera and may scratch the camera body if attached. 【Auto Focus】STM stepping motor enables quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override. Additionally, an internal focusing design maintains the overall lens length during use for improved handling and quicker response. 【Large Aperture】Bright f/1.4 maximum aperture suits working in low-light conditions and also affords greater control over depth of field. 【HD Nano】Two extra-low dispersion elements reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to achieve a high degree of clarity and color accuracy. Two high refractive index elements help to control spherical aberrations and reduce distortion in order to realize high sharpness and accurate rendering. 【Compact and durable】 Integrated manual aperture ring for tactile exposure control; this ring also features an 'A' position for automated, camera-based aperture selection. Integrated micro-USB port can be used to update the lens's firmware.

Outstanding quality regardless of the price.

Value for money more than excellent. Focusing can be a bit slower, but for the enthusiast headroom is negligible. I get crisp images and great results. This is a great alternative for those who are just starting out or are on a budget for the Fujifilm mounting system.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • There are shortcomings

Ideal for traveling: lenses

I have always traveled with many lenses or a versatile zoom lens. I wanted to challenge myself, so I limited my recent trip to Mexico City to this lens and a Fuji 16mm f/1.4. was my only running lens for 4 days at CDMX. What a great price!

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Some problems

A little more than some

Well made lens and I was able to take some great pictures with good color reproduction on my Fuji X-Pro 1. I have to admit I was a bit doubtful Fuji version Tokina version or this one After some research it seems that Tokina and Viltrox are the same lens albeit with different markings. there I expect you, like me, to be perfectly happy.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No

Cheaper than Fujinon but works very well!

As an amateur, I don't need (nor can afford) a $900-$1000 Fujinon lens. For a third of the original price I bought this lens with the same specs. This lens performs very well, with excellent focus and very good light capture, even indoors. Autofocus works too! I'm so glad I can still get a quality prime lens for a fraction of the original price. Suddenly my random photos of objects and family members taken at home look like high-quality studio photos. Thanks to Viltrox I can fulfill my dream…

Pros
  • speakerphone
Cons
  • zero

Good lens - can be great

I bought this about two months ago and use it with the X-T4 body from time to time. Photography-wise, everything works fine when I'm taking a single shot or using AF-S mode. Things get a little worse when we switch to AF-C mode or movie recording. It pulses, flutters or "breathes" like crazy - it shows a green border around the subject - but the background keeps getting sharp and blurry - I've tried this at 1.4 -> 2.8 and it seems to his same behavior. visible. If the subject remains VERY…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Clarity

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…

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

Focus, firmware and mount

Tested on Fuji XE4. There is a screen firmware that stably produces a bright flash in both the EVF and the LCD. This is annoying and a problem with their electronics. It happened every time the cast changed, every time. This is with the latest firmware 1.12 where they state this is fixed and only affects older bodies. XE4 is brand new this year. I compared images from Fuji 23mm F2 and 27mm WR and put together images from 27mm so I have the same field of view. Although the Viltrox lens is…

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Almost everything is ok
