Dear Ghosts,
In summary, this 23mm f1.4 LM lens is very sharp and future proof. High resolution, sharpness, lower contrast, colder color shift, decent AF, this might be my future travel lens. I originally tried to return this lens because I thought it would be too sharp for video and the contrast was weak for photos but I ended up keeping it when actually comparing the lenses. Maybe I'm talking out my ass but for photos the image quality is on par with GFX lenses, that's how sharp this one is. However it isn't the best lens for video despite that I think this focal length is invaluable. Honestly the newest LM lenses are near perfect, which may be good for me because I like a clean look but maybe not for you. Spend wisely.
I uploaded around 7 videos testing settings prior to this one and I tried my best to solve banding. Every video esp. lowlight I've seen on this platform has this problem, but mine is particularly pixelly since i add grain. I've uploaded the file to vimeo so you can better see what it looks like without the banding issues: vimeo.com/835293985?share=copy
Audio is also a bit scuffed, i'll be stronger for the next video. Hopefully you enjoyed this review, if you don't like it you can blame my audience for suggesting i put more production quality into my reviews :)
For some talking head shots I used the Otus to film so you can compare what the Fuji lens has to offer. At the end of this review you can see a preview of a short story I made with the 23mm LM lens, please be patient as I'm still working on it. Special thanks to Johnny for his input for this video!
Love,
CGC
