Fujifilm gf23mm f4 Review & (pixel peeping) sample photos

[@brianrowland9993]

One of the very best KZbin reviews on a GF lens. Great to see the emphasis on real world results rather than waffle.(!) I think your results mount a convincing case for this excellent lens - its expensive but it really delivers. While I knew this lens was well regarded I didn't realise which attributes make so well received. Your superb images demonstrate that the 23 mm is actually quite versatile and surprisingly pleasing out of focus rendition. I have only just purchased a GFX 100S2 - not a single lens b ut the 23 mm is on the shortlist alongside the 55 1.7.

Great video, and the pic at the end with your Pitty , LOVE THAT ! Thanks !

Nice video. I am amazed by the low distortion of this lens. I am wondering if you have made any distortion correction on the portrait that you shown.

[@AndyMcPhoto]

Thanks Dean and no correction on the portrait

Nice review, mate. Good work going over the varied image samples1

[@JonnyBarrett]

Thanks for the review - I didn't mind the audio and having been there many times myself - I know the heartbreak of seeing that in the edit 😅 - ordered this lens!

[@AndyMcPhoto]

Thanks Jonny and enjoy, SUCH a delightful lens!

Nice video but junk audio. Your audio is over modulated. I don't have this lens, but is contemplating getting one. Thanks for the review.

Nice video! Btw, the GF 23mm doesn't have optical image stabilization, so there is no "OIS" in its full name 😉

[@AndyMcPhoto]

Thanks Johannes and yup, indeed no OIS so of course I bungled the lettering somehow haha! #milddyslexia

Nice review!

[@piotrwojna1590]

check carefully once again, there is no stabilization, I have this lens.

personally i don't like super wide angle lenses in a streat photos situation the building is leaning backwards all straight lines is leaning against the sentrum of the images to much fisheye i personaly like my 32-64mm and 45mm even on my 32-64mm i must be careful for bending buildings

[@AndyMcPhoto]

Very fair and all down to what works, I like going quite wide myself but 32mm (with the option to zoom no less) is quite alright in my books.

[@sphaera3809]

Tasty for sure ;-)

[@marknachmias423]

I can’t deal with the poor audio. Lots of clipping. Moving on. Thanks

[@AndyMcPhoto]

No probs & happy hunting!

Guy has MF camera but no money left for proper audio.

[@AndyMcPhoto]

...not even money for MF actually, still clear enough in the audio that it was a loaner from Fujifilm Belgium. They (without call for bias in review) support my work and especially as I do indeed have no budget beyond the basics, offers a chance to (like photography) get practice with video reviews and see what works or doesn't.

[@RobKnight]

@@AndyMcPhoto It's better than the audio on any of that guy's videos ;-)
