Can Fujifilm XF 23mm f/1.4 R LM WR Lens Keep Up With High-Resolution Cameras?

35mm lenses with wide apertures have long been treasured for their usefulness and ability to tackle a huge range of needs and situations with ease, including portraits, weddings, street photography, and much more. The Fujifilm XF 23mm f/1.4 R LM WR has earned a lot of respect among photographers. However, now that the company has also released X Series cameras with high-resolution sensors, can it keep up? This great video review takes a look at the performance and image quality you can expect. 

Coming to you from Dustin Abbott, this excellent video review takes a look at the Fujifilm XF 23mm f/1.4 R LM WR lens and if it can keep up with Fujifilm's newer 40-megapixel cameras. Offering an equivalent focal length of 35mm, the XF 23mm f/1.4 holds a lot of potential in that can take in a lot of the scene without too much distortion and can also work wonders in low light. And for the most part, it looks like it can also keep up with those demanding high-resolution sensors, thanks to features like an aspherical element for reduced distortion and increased sharpness and Super EBC coating for reduced flares and ghosting and deeper contrast. Another great addition is the rounded seven-blade diaphragm for smoother bokeh. Altogether, the XF 23mm f/1.4 R LM WR looks like a nice lens that should serve you well. Check out the video above for Abbott's full thoughts.
