TTArtisan AF 23mm f/1.4 23mm
Its f/1.4 aperture and 23mm (35mm equivalent) focal length, combined with one low-dispersion and three high-refractive elements, deliver strong light gathering and sharpness. The compact, all-metal manual-focus build gives precise tactile control, while the fast aperture creates soft background blur rarely seen in this lens class. Best for Fujifilm X photographers needing environmental portraits and low-light street scenes where manual focus and shallow depth of field are priorities.
