GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Street, Travel & Documentary — Fujifilm XF 23mm f/1.4 R LM WR (2022): The definitive wide prime for Fujifilm X-mount — bright, weather-sealed, and razor sharp from f/1.4.
Portrait & Wedding Photography — 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art (2021): The most compelling portrait prime for L-mount — flagship optical quality at a fraction of what Leica or Panasonic charge for native glass.
