Compact design, wide field of view, and fast performance, the Tokina atx-m 23mm f/1.4 X is a 35mm-equivalent wide-angle prime for FUJIFILM X-mount mirrorless cameras. The versatile focal length suits a wide range of subject types and shooting applications, ranging from street and reportage shooting to landscapes and environmental portraiture. The bright f/1.4 maximum aperture further benefits working in various conditions, by offering improved control over depth of field and suiting working in low-light settings. Two Super Low Dispersion (SD) elements are featured in the optical design, which help to control color fringing and chromatic aberrations while a multi-layer coating has also been applied to reduce flare and ghosting for greater contrast in bright and backlit conditions. This sleek lens also incorporates an STM stepping motor, which affords fast, near-silent, and accurate autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override.

I bought this lens for shooting performers on my cabaret events and I'm very satisfied with the purchase. The 56mm focal length is roughly 85 on the crop Fuji sensor and that's perfect for shooting a person with comfortable distance. There's no chromatic aberration that you'd find with other affordable 3rd party lenses. Nice build quality and the photos look great stopped down or wide open.

I got this as my FF equivalent nifty-fifty for the APS-C Fuji X-H2S. I could not be happier with the lens. It's a nice fast lens at a convenient focal length that takes beautiful pictures. Images are sharp, even wide open, and the colors with the Fuji are excellent. Bokeh and OOF areas are smooth and pleasing to the eye.There is a fair bit of chromatic aberration on high contrast areas when shooting wide open (f/1.4), which is to be expected. It is fairly well controlled at f/2.2, which still gives you the advantage of a fast lens. It is not particularly noticeable on lower contrast subjects.AF feels snappy, and is quiet, though not silent (not a problem for me). MF is electronically controlled by the large focus ring, and feels quick and precise.The aperture ... MoreI got this as my FF equivalent nifty-fifty for the APS-C Fuji X-H2S.

I do wish the ring had a lock to keep it on auto. There is a very SLIGHT detent between auto and f/16, but not enough that I don't feel accidents couldn't happen. Fortunately the ring is VERY tight and doesn't just turn if you bump it. This may be a drawback for those who want to use it frequently for control. I am not sure whether it will stay tight with heavy use either, so something to keep in mind.Also, since it is not a mechanical ring but an electronic control, it does not open and close smoothly, even though it turns smoothly. Filmmakers looking for a smooth iris open/close will be disappointed.There is no weather sealing, so also something to keep in mind if you plan on shooting in the elements a lot.Overall, a great piece of glass with AF features that cannot be beat for this price. I was between this lens and the Sigma 30mm, and went with this because of reviews and samples I saw. I was not disappointed.

The subject was nothing special... just an interesting looking tree trunk. My first photo with a new Tokina 33mm on a Fuji X-T2 was a tree.The Tokina 33mm is the sharpest, most natural lens I've ever seem. Images it captures are stunning.

I had a choice between this and that other similar 23mm F1.4 so the Tokina was on sale and from what I have read it supposedly has better coatings and better internals since Tokina has some kind of agreement w/Fuji.After trying it out for a few shoots I can say that I like it. A lot.Pros: Built well. Lots of metal including the hood. Sharp, nice bokeh and looks good especially in the center @ 1.4. By 4 it sharpens up overall. It renders a little on the cool side w/my X-T3 but has a nice character wide open. Oh, and on sale here @ B&H it was the same price as that other similar 23mm F1.4Cons: Little heavier than what I'd hoped and a little distortion and some vignetting wide open but alas! There is a profile in Lightroom for that other similar 23mm F1.4 that ... MoreI had a choice between this and that other similar 23mm F1.4 so the Tokina was on sale and from what I have read it supposedly has better coatings and better internals since Tokina has some kind of agreement w/Fuji.After trying it out for a few shoots I can say that I like it.

Awesome!
At almost half the price of the Fujifilm XF33mm f1.4 R LM WR, The Tokina ATX-m 33mm f1.4 offers fantastic optical and build quality with fast silent autofocus. My only complaint is the declicked aperture but for what I paid for this lens, I live with it.
Very sharp and beautiful rendering.
This lens is extremely sharp, well built and acts just like a native Fuji lens. Great buy!
The optical performance of this lens is great, but it's nearly identical to the Viltrox version but at a higher cost. I don't really see any benefit to purchasing this one over the Viltrox so far. It was nice that Tokina offered the 52mm magnetic filter with it for free though.
Tokina is licensed by Fuji, and the firmware is an authorized copy. The auto-focus works perfectly on my X-T10, while the Viltrox version of this lens did not. Apparently Viltrox reverse-engineered the firmware and didn't get it exactly right. Both lenses do have the same glass however, and it's fantastic. The images are razor-sharp and have a Zeiss-like quality, with great depth and micro-contrast, and vivid natural color. I shoot mostly chrome and I get a bit more of the classic cinematic look I'm after with this lens, compared to my Fuji's.
Used this lens with x-t4 for several months almost without changing. I liked the sharpness at an open aperture, slightly soft corners. Great alternative to more expensive fujifilm lenses.
