[Manual Focus] I am very impressed with this lens. I am currently using it on a Fujifilm X-Pro3 and it's perfect. This is the first time in years that I've used a manual focus lens, but focus peaking makes it a piece of cake. I think the lens is plenty sharp enough, and I love the rendering. The build quality is excellent. As soon as the 35mm is back in stock, I'm ordering that one, too.

[FUJIFILM X] Good lens if you do manual focus, lens has it's own character. Was very satisfied using it on my Fujifilm x-pro3, also has good lowlight performance. I like the short throw on the focus ring

[Manual Focus] I love this lens paired with my x-t5. I have/had other 23mm lenses and use them as my all subject lens, but this one is truly amazing. I use it mostly wide open but have done a few early morning shots at f/8 and f/11 and combined with the x-t5 Image stabilization, pictures were sharp and beautiful even hand holding at 1/4 of a second. This will be my everything lens, I just love it.

[FUJIFILM X] I have owned several Voigtlander lenses for sometime, I love the old school build quality and manual operation. This 23mm has the best build of any lens I have ever owned, both aperture and focus throw are smooth and just firm enough to enable precise operation. The optics are off the chart, both the depth of focus and color rendering are superb. The lens has contacts to transmit information to the camera body, which is rare in a manual lens, very nice! Once on your camera body you would be hard pressed to ever take it off.

[0.755 lb] I shoot a lot of street photography and I specifically bought the Fuji X-T5 as a complement to my X100V that takes interchangeable lenses. I have an extensive collection of M42 glass that I use with an adapter, and I love shooting in manual focus, but I didn't have anything in the 35mm (equiv) range and I wanted to see the legendary Voigtlnder look. It's a solid lens with a buttery-smooth focus ring and an almost ASMR-worthy aperture click. I love that it sends EXIF data and the focus ring activates MF assist. But most of all I love the f/1.2 subject isolation and bokeh dropoff that 12 rounded blades provide. When using the X-H1's or X-T5's side-by-side EVF in SPLIT mode (which shows a small rangefinder-style window), combined with a lens that's best know for its Leica-mount lenses, it really does provide a vague sense that you're shooting with an M10. And the resulting images are amazing.

[46 mm (Front)] The the best lens in my collection
Truly love it
I'm considering to buy the 35mm f1.2 lens and the only reason keeping me from this is I already have the Zeiss 32mm g1.8 lens.
The quality of this lens is a different level in Fuji lens line.
The iq is great with warm nostalgic look.
I strongly recommend this lens but please be advised this is all manual lens.
If you need AF look for any other options available on market today.

[f/16] I bought this lens for street photography, assuming that zone focusing would be a snap. It is not. There is definitely a learning curve. Now that I own it, I find myself using it for other applications, mostly wide open. Focus peaking works flawlessly. It is not a clinically sharp lens like the new Fuji 23mm WR. But it has a lot of character and produces a dreamier image.

[APS-C] This lens is sharp at every aperture, but it has more 'character' than some people might be comfortable with anywhere South of f2.2 or so. The already-thin depth of field is prone to a bit of spherical aberration so there's a hazy look, but fine details like text or the speckled texture of stationery remain discernible.

I've seen some complaints on a certain popular photography forum about field curvature and issues with the focus scale which I haven't observed or been able to replicate, and I suspect my eyes are a lot younger than many of the users there so I'm one to talk. Stopped down past f2.8, this is possibly my sharpest lens, and in line with its more vintage styling, performance at f11 is spectacular and free of diffraction, making it great for zone focus or landscape or any other application where a lot of depth of field is crucial. These days it seems like everyone only cares about wide open performance!

Close focus is a huge strength of this lens, especially having used the Fuji 23mm f2, which produces poor results up close even stopped down. Similar to the 16mm f1.4, it's practically a macro, making it an excellent walk-around lens. Manual focus and aperture ring feel confident and well-constructed. 46mm is a weird filter size (shares with your Nikon L35AF, I guess?) and I can't say I love the lens cap, which has these little wings on the tabs making it so it doesn't sit flat. At this point I'm nitpicking though. If you want a performant 23mm for Fuji (or Nikon), don't mind manual focus, and want something a little cheaper/smaller/less clinical than the Fujilux 23, this is the one. Makes me lust after the APO 35, which I've heard is even better.

[f/1.2] Finally after a lengthy period of search I decided to acquire this beautiful lens. I am not fun of changing lenses on my on my camera too often. With this lens I can accomplish almost everything. It's well built inside out. Quality wise I am also so impressed with the sharpness for such a very fast lens. And the vintage looks and feel makes me so comfortable since I come from those days of manual control and enjoyment. Attached to my xpro3 I now have the perfect combination. I recommend this versatile lens for every day use since is the almost perfect focal length for any situation. Love at first sight and now that I own it is an eternal happily ever after!

[FUJIFILM X] I wanted a lens to challenge my creativity. Having a Prime lens with a fast aperture, wide enough for street photography and landscapes, a very, very close minimum focusing distance for small subjects and extremely light weight, this lens meets and exceeds all those expectations.

If you want a lens with autofocus and corner-to-corner sharpness, look elsewhere. If you want to be creative, this lens is a great tool to test your imagination.
