Damian Brown got his hands on the Viltrox 23mm f/1.4 already. Here is what he thinks about the lens:
- loose aperture ring. He moved it accidentally during shooting. Not really a dealbreaker, but he does not like it
- click-free aperture ring (like the Viltrox 33mmf/1.4)
- metal lens hood
- STM focus motor. Nice option for video shooters
- he used the lens on the Fujifilm X-T4
- 52mm filter size
- feels solid and well built
- manual focus ring is well dampened, smooth
- you can control the aperture with command dial if you want
- vignetting is relatively strong. You better stop down a bit to get rid of it
- lens is sharp
- renders colors nicely
- smooth and nice bokeh… can be swirly occasionally. Bokeh has character
- autofocus is more than fast enough for him, and very accurate most of the time
- video focus seems pretty smooth
- occasionally he noticed focus breathing
- very good build quality, sharp images, smooth video autofocus, and lives up to the standard set be the Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 AF
