AF 23mm F1.4 overview
The Viltrox AF 23mm F1.4 is a 23mm f/1.4 prime for APS-C cameras on Fujifilm X, Sony E-mount, Nikon Z and Canon EF-M, announced by Viltrox in April 2020. 49 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits low light. It is a weaker pick for rain and dust as well as close-ups.
New, it sells for £245 in the United Kingdom (Harrison Cameras).
Worth comparing it with the Fujifilm XF 23mm F1.4 R LM WR, Sigma 23mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary and Tokina atx-m 23mm F1.4.
