There are plenty of examples online you could find to compare? All I can say is the new Fuji lenses stopped me from buying into the Nikon Z system. From my research they look to give very similar results, though a little smaller and brighter (f1.4 vs f1.8) and with aperture rings – all of which I value.
Why would he be kidding? 35mm is probably the strongest case for a focal length where Full frame has all the advantages. Sure the XF 23mm is not bad, its superb. But there is no shame in being out performed or out spec'ed when not playing on your on field.You kidding, right?
But there is basically nothing to make it better when it comes to XF 23/1.4 LM WR. This lens is perfectly opticaly corrected, with zero flaws. With super fast LM, build like a tank. Weather sealed. Relatively small and compact. And price is fine too (for such performance).Why would he be kidding? 35mm is probably the strongest case for a focal length where Full frame has all the advantages.

Because it’s not even close to true based on objective measurements.Why would he be kidding? 35mm is probably the strongest case for a focal length where Full frame has all the advantages.

Thanks, I am aware of this test, but reality is probably not as simple as these charts imply. there are other tests (digitalkamera.de) where the 35mm S comes out on top vs. the new 23mm and actually I found that the test results of lenstip often dont match my personal experience. hence I am looking for some hands on experiences by people who use both systems.
He definately is!You kidding, right?

Saying that some lens outperforms new XF 23/1.4 is like joke
Lenstip has the best methodology of all optic/camera testers...I tryust these guys to the heavens.
It depends what you want to compare. They test on the 45 megapixel z7, so a similar pixel density to the Fuji that puts similar demands on the glass.
Good to know, have you got any examples just so I can see the actual differences by any chance? I guess that’s why the 35 GM is bigger and more expensive.. plus I suspect the sensor has something to do with it too? The new Fuji sensor does pull more detail out of the Fuji lenses and while I wasn’t impressed with the new 56mm when I tried it on the xt4, when I put it on the xh2 it was clearly better than the old lens.
Like another poster, I just can say, that this new primes are so great, that I decided to sell my canon gear .
Ok. I’ll give it a try. OCP, I think your comments are warranted and are obviously based on your use of the lenses you lay out above. Please provide some images to back the opinion up. It would really help with those of us reading through this thread. Sure, you may use a Confidentiality Agreement or Non-Disclosure Agreement to tell us that you can’t post the images of your client work product. And if that’s the case from your end, please post a clip of an image that’s personal using the Nikon gear. Cheers and looking forward to the comparison.
My experience with this lens, I have taken a lot of pics with my XT4 at F2 800 iso handheld and it's tack sharp. In my book, there is nothing above tack sharp.Frankly, I think you should seriously consider swapping your Fuji as you may have a bad copy. See below from Lenstip, who tested (and highly rated) both:
Sony 35 f1.8 GM
Fuji 23 f1.4 WR
