[Bjorn Moerman PHOTOGRAPHY]

Hi X-shooters,

 

I had the chance to shoot the new Fujifilm XF23mm f2 lens, which was announced today. Those interested can check out my review here: http://bjornmoerman.blogspot.ae/2016/08/first-look-fujifilm-xf23mm-f2-r-wr.html

 

Happy to answer questions here or on my blog!

Thanks, Bjørn. Nice review.

[johant]

Thanks!

 

Rico (aka flysurfer) mentioned that the optical configuration of the pre-production lenses was different from the final product. Any details on that?

[frod]

I will be interested to see how well it fits in the Fuji xpro1 case - my only complaint with the f/1.4.

Thanks for the review!

Danke! Du hattest noch keine Möglichkeit das definitive Objektiv zu testen? Jedenfalls ist das 23/2 für mich jetzt schon eine "Muss haben" Linse!

Rico, will you post it english as well please. Google translate is sucks.

Anybody who wants may translate it in a less sucking manner and send it to me for verification. I'll happily post it then.

An excellent opportunity to learn German [emoji14]

I'll take a stab at it later this week if someone else hasn't yet by then.

I got mine today!

I would love to see some image samples from real world use.

Haven't found the time yet, too busy with work and the baby.

And some reviews from non-fuji-affiliated reviewers

Go ahead and do one now!

Why not? You don't know how to use the lens?

[Sluw]

Why not? You don't know how to use the lens?

 

Yes of course  but I don't know how to set up tests or think of all the different circumstances to test it in. So I'd probably buy the lens, be super happy and enthusiastic, write a 5 star review. But then I don't know if I encounter some problems in the future. Already saw pretty much green chromatic aberration and halo when shot wide open. Don't know if that's bad usage (the halo) or a problem in some occasions. I like to decide on a mix of reviews, my own impressions and other user impressions.

Your info would probably be more useful than some photo gear reviews I've read in the past few years.

If anybody feels like sending me a lens I'd be happy to do so

Just a couple of shots with Fuji 23mm f2 and Fuji 23mm f1.4 at f2. Notice that new 23mm f2 is much wider

[Horus]

Thanks Bjorn & dkojevnikov.

 

Just to let know that Photo Ciné House (PCH) in Brussels (Belgium), just emailed me that they just received today some copies of the XF23/2, all already sold ! Other copies should come in the following days.

 

As I was first on their reservation list (for a change !), I have to pick up mine asap (and get rid of my XF23/1.4 to finance it).

I let you know if they have more info on availability...

 

If i've got time (project to finish at work and next WE full :-() I'll try to make some comments.

 

Cheers.
