Hi,

Most of us don't own both 23mm lenses, but side by side pix posted online have allowed us to observe that the XF23/2 is slightly but noticeably wider than the XF23/1.4.  I've never seen a lab test or post which has actually measured its FL to confirm.  (It may be that the 23/1.4 is slightly longer than 23mm.)  There's also little point in comparing the FOV with an FF 35mm because their FLs often vary a bit each way too.

Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about it.  The difference is small and it's 'in the ball park'.  Choose the lens that best meets your preferences on all the other information.

Cheers, Rod
