FUJIFILM XF 23mm f/1.4 LM WR Reviews

WOW!! Buy This Lens! Better Than Fuji 23mm f2

By Henry
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-04-28

After owning the Fujifilm 23mm f/2 WR lens for a year I recently sold it to purchase the Fujifilm XF 23mm f/1.4 R LM WR Lens. The 23mm 1.4 has faster autofocus, better colour rendition, better contrast, and better in low light. Yes, the 23mm f/2 is smaller and weighs less. Is the 1.4 as discreet as the f/2? Who cares! I've learned I'd much rather sacrifice weight to get better quality images. I used to hate the 35mm focal length but ever since switching to the 23mm f/1.4 WR Lens it has taught me if you don't like a focal length, it could be the lens. The Fujifilm 23mm f/2 the sharpness just isn't there unless shooting in bright sunlight. Fuji does make some good f/2 lenses, like the Fujifilm 50mm f/2 is amazing, but if you want the best, as of 2026, get the Fujifilm 23mm f/1.4 it doesn't even weigh that much more than the f/2. Amazing for landscape photography not just street photography. If you want a smaller lens than this, get the Fujifilm 30mm f/2.8 it has faster autofocus and better colour rendition than the 23mm f/2.

Versatile and Sharp

Moved from the Sony a6xxx series to Fuji and picked up this prime. It's a great focal length for my shooting and love the versatility. I've been shooting wide open and have just simply not been disappointed with what this can do combined with a X-T50. I find the size very manageable and it feels good in the hand. I was originally going to get the Fujicron but decided to just go for the best.

Why does this lens not have a depth-of-field scale?
Asked by: Allen
The FUJIFILM XF 23mm f/1.4 R LM WR Lens was just designed without a depth-of-field scale. It was a decision made by Fujifilm as some others do not have it either.

Help with selection. Voigtlander Nokton 23/1.4 or Fujifilm XF 23mm F/1.4 LM WR?
Asked by: Alex
The Voigtlander Nokton 23mm f/1.2 Aspherical Lens for FUJIFILM X is a manual lens and the FUJIFILM XF 23mm f/1.4 R LM WR Lens supports autofocus. So most prefer a lens with autofocus and would go with the Fujifilm brand one.

Does this have manual focus like the first 23mm or is it auto only like the 90mm?
Asked by: Darin
This lens doesn't have a manual focus clutch like the 23mm 1.4 mark I. It is focused electronically.

Would this be a good travel lens? The older 1.4 was very light and compact.
Asked by: Julie
The FUJIFILM XF 23mm f/1.4 R LM WR Lens will be an excellent travel lens as many photographers find the 35 mm (on a 35 mm) focal length ideal for travel. The lens offers exceptional details, sharpness, and weather sealing.
