Maybe according to the manufacturer's specifications, but they're not both the same in actuality.

You're probably right, but how can you be sure that you're actually shooting at 23mm on the 18-55?

It's wider than the 1.4 -- not sure how much, but it's noticeable. I've used them side by side and you can tell the difference. My sense is that the 1.4 is true and the 2.0 is wide, but I have ...

What I'm curious about is whether one of the goals was close the gap with Capture One.  A number of posters have commented that they like C1 image better, and that it takes considerable work to ...

My expectations are appropriately set,

I'm not concerned about the foliage/worming issue.  I just want to know if the images look better overall.

I want to know if the new release improves the rendition of Fuji RAW images.  There are new color profiling tools and possibly some undisclosed background features that could have an effect.

I'd like to keep the thread focused on how JUST how the latest update to LR has changed.  I know there have been many improvements since v6 and prior to that.

Curious if anyone has explored the new April update to LR CC with Fuji.  Not sure the raw converter has changed, but it looks like a number of other things have been updated.

I'm hearing a bark, not a bite. When Fuji came out with mirrorless, they just came out with it. They didn't wait five years then tell the world in a little while longer that they'd do it. It...

I owned both lenses and shot side by side for two weeks.  For me, the slight improvement in IQ of the 1.4 was more than offset by the weight.  Oftentimes, that IQ difference was within the margin ...

How do you transfer the raw files from camera to the iPad?

anyone?

I notice a fair amount of lag when changing the aperture for the camera's display to update. I'm using it on an X-T2. Is this normal?

I'm looking for a nice leather strap for my X-T2, one that's comfortable and is adjustable.  I've come across a bunch of options online, but I'd like to hear from someone who actually has the one ...

About to order the 50mm f/2 and am trying to decide whether to get it in silver or black.  It would mount to my black X-T2. I would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you, Robert

No, but in 10-15 years' time after Fuji has given up on OVF cameras and EVFs are the only option, these cameras may be highly valued for their uniqueness.

I've read about the wider FOV as well.  Is the f/2 wider than a standard 35mm FF lens, or is the f/1.4 narrower?

I am trying to make a decision and the 23mm f/1.4 which I'm currently trying out.  It comes down to weight vs. the subtlety of tonal transitions and "presence."  I love my 35mm f1.4, I didn't care ...

I'm aware that the 23mm f/2 scarifies sharpness at when shooting at close range and wide open.  How far do you have to be where this isn't an issue?
