USED Fujifilm XF 23mm f1.4 R LM WR Lens

Expanded Fujifilm XF 23mm f1.4 R LM WR Lens Key Features:

Optical Performance

Fujifilm’s XF 23mm f1.4 R LM WR Lens is a versatile lens that offers exceptional image quality whatever your shooting conditions. The lens features an optical structure that’s made up of 15 elements arranged into 10 groups, including the use of 2 aspherical and 3 ED elements that help to suppress the appearance of spherical and chromatic aberrations.

You are further afforded an aesthetically pleasing bokeh effect from the 9 rounded iris blades, as well as key compatibility with 58mm filters. This makes it an exciting addition for photographers looking for a reliable large-aperture X-Mount prime lens, with a clear emphasis on creative close-up work and dynamic portraiture.

Maximum F1.4 Aperture

Consisting of a maximum aperture of F1.4, this lens sustains high levels of image quality whilst actively minimising camera shake and digital noise. This is especially prevalent when shooting in low-light interior spaces and when capturing nightscapes. At F1.4, you are afforded a shallow depth-of-field to allow for a creamy bokeh effect; encouraging 3D definition and clear subject contrast. Comatic aberration is also controlled to allow small light sources to appear as rounded points, actively avoiding colour casts throughout the full aperture range.

Speed and Accuracy

As with many lenses in this series, Fujifilm has included its Linear Autofocusing Motor. It’s this motor that helps drive the focusing mechanism for fast, accurate and silent autofocus performance. This encourages pin-point focus in both stills and smooth continuous focusing whilst shooting video. The Inner Focus system establishes a minimal range of movements for the focusing lens group, whilst also controlling the exact amount of focusing needed within the range. This can be attained in as fast as 0.04 seconds!

Of course, the silent operation is perfect for those situations where discretion is paramount but it’s how fast and precise the AF performance is that shines through. For a lens that offers a classic focal range of 35mm (full-frame equivalent), it is perfect for street and portrait photography where speed and accuracy are integral to an effective shot.

Fujifilm Build Quality

It goes without saying, Fujifilm has created a name for itself by producing stunningly high-quality lenses. These lenses produce exquisite images but are also a joy to use due to their ergonomics and ease of use. The XF 23mm f1.4 R LM WR Lens is no exception with its compact, lightweight and highly durable construction that seamlessly flows with Fujifilm’s X-mount mirrorless cameras. The knurling design of the focus ring has even been customised to benefit the removal of dirt stuck in the grooves. Weighing just 375g and measuring a mere 77.8mm in length - it is compact, portable, and can easily slide into your kit bag or sit on your camera all day long without an issue.

In addition, it sports an effective weather resistance that of course allows you to continue shooting even if the weather begins to turn - focused upon 11 key areas. The ruggedised performance further supports operation in temperatures as low as -10°C, accommodating for all-year-round shooting and astrophotography over frigid winter evenings. Manual focusing at a shallow depth of field is facilitated by the tactile focus ring, whilst the interior gear pitch promises advanced movement detection and responsive linear focusing.
