Edge to edge sharpness with new-generation resolution performance

Image quality is handled by an optical design with 15 lens elements, including two aspherical elements and three ED elements, in 10 groups. These work together reducing chromatic aberration and spherical aberration for edge-to-edge sharpness even when wide open. This results in superior image quality across all focusing ranges from close-up to infinity.

The fast f/1.4 aperture with 9-bladed design provides a shallow depth of field rendering creamy out of focus backgrounds with pleasing bokeh. Comatic aberration is also well-controlled to capture small light sources as round points, avoiding colour casts.

Versatile focal width

With an equivalent of 35mm in full frame format users can capture a diverse range of subjects with a minimal working distance of just 19cm and maximum 0.2x magnification. This offers a great degree of versatility with great improvements over the previous model.

Silent, accurate AF

A linear motor drives fast, silent and accurate Autofocus in as little as 0.04 seconds, ensuring that you’ll never miss a decisive moment, even with moving subjects.

Video creators benefit from reduced focus breathing making this an ideal choice for movie making.

Clear and crisp images at all focus positions are maintained by the driver mechanism, which means you’ll get excellent results throughout the near to far range.

Compact, lightweight and weather-resistant construction

The slimline XF 23mm f/1.4 weighs approximately 375g and measures just 77.8mm long with a compact filter thread size of 58mm.

Outdoor users benefit from weather seals applied in 11 locations on the lens barrel for a dust and weather resistant design which operates down to -10ºC.

Linear focusing with a new gear pitch responds precisely to even the most subtle fingertip movement when using manual focus for pin sharp results.
