I picked up my Fujifilm 23mm f1.4 LM WR in February 2025. I was a bit hesitant buying the 23mm lens (35mm equivalent on full frame) for my Fujifilm X-E4. Why so? Well, historically I´ve always had issues taking pictures with 35mm full frame lenses. As it turned out I had nothing to worry about: The Fujifilm 23mm f1.4 LM WR has quickly become my most used lens.

Build
I will not go into details about the construction of the lens, you can read all about that on Fujifilms homepage. The lens is a reasonably sized lens to use on a X-E4, it´s not to big but you definitely notice that it´s there. Some dimension:
Diameter: 67mm
Length: 77,8mm
Filter size: Ø58mm
Weight: 375g
The lens feels rock solid and has never caused any problems. The aperture ring is nice clicky.
The only thing that annoys me about the lens build is the lens hood: I really don´t like the lens hood, not that it´s bad it´s just not as good looking as the lens itself. I have actually lost the lens hood, not that I´m crying about it.
Autofocus
The autofocus is really good. It´s fast, smooth and there are no external moving parts. I can´t really say anything negative about the autofocus: It´s just reliable and get´s the job done really well.
Image quality
The image quality is super. The lens is sharp already from f1.4 and I think it´s the sharpest around f4 and it has a nice micro contrast. It’s easy to love the images coming from this lens.
Summary
In short: This is a beautiful lens. If I knew what I know and didn´t own it: I would buy one!
