Is the tokina atx m 23mm f 1 4 sharp wide open?

I don't have sharpness test results for the Tokina atx-m 23mm f/1.4, so I can't tell you how crisp it is at f/1.4. What I can tell you is that it's an autofocus APS-C prime with f/1.4, made for Sony E and Fujifilm X mounts, and it frames like a 34mm on full frame. You can check the full specs on its lens page.

If you're wondering what f/1.4 means for your photos, the aperture guide explains the light and background blur side. For portraits, where wide-open sharpness matters most, the portrait guide covers how thin focus gets at f/1.4 and when to stop down to f/2.8.
