The natural view of a 23mm lens – the focal length on the very first X Series camera – has been used to create countless everyday masterpieces. Now, the compact form and functionality of the original fixed lens has inspired a compact, interchangeable option: XF23mmF2.8 R WR. Offering a weather-resistant build, smooth autofocus, and high-resolution capability, it’s simply a joy to use and barely noticeable when it’s attached to an X Series camera body.

FUJINON XF23mmF2.8 R WR FEATURES:

• The Perfect Everyday Carry

FUJINON XF23mmF2.8 R WR is so slim and portable you’ll want to take it anywhere and everywhere. Weighing just 90g (3.17oz) and measuring a mere 23mm (0.91 inches) in length, you’ll barely notice it’s even attached to the camera, making it ideal for everyday use. Thoughtful design touches guarantee there’s no compromise in handling, despite compact dimensions. A knurled ring at the base of the lens ensures a secure grip, plus the addition of a thin spacer between the aperture and focus rings make for easy adjustment of either setting when composing through the viewfinder.

• Small, But Mighty

A masterpiece of modern lens design, XF23mmF2.8 R WR delivers outstanding results, comfortably resolving the latest 40.2-megapixel X-Trans 5 HR sensor. This performance is made possible by the use of advanced manufacturing techniques, refined through the development of Fujifilm’s large format G Mount lenses. The optical construction features two aspherical lenses, which minimize aberrations from center to edges for detail-rich results.

• Super-Smooth Bokeh

Thanks to its 11-blade aperture, XF23mmF2.8 R WR produces beautifully smooth out-of-focus areas to deliver sumptuous bokeh when working at wider apertures of F2.8 or F4. Ideal for close-up images and portraits, this gives excellent separation to let you concentrate fully on your subject

• Stay Close to What Matters

XF23mmF2.8 R WR offers an impressive close focusing distance of just 20cm (7.87 inches) from the sensor, so you can confidently fill the frame with flowers, food, or any of your favorite subjects. This capability is made possible by optimizing the angle of entry that directs light to the sensor, and using a single group of focusing elements to provide a consistent autofocus performance, irrespective of the subject distance.

• Non-Stop Creativity!

Creativity doesn’t wait for the sun to shine, which is why XF23mmF2.8 R WR’s weather- resistant design will let you keep making images if the elements are against you. Paired with a compatible body, it’s built to handle harsh conditions, moisture, and temperatures as low as -10°C (14°F). A lens hood is also included for further protection against impact and dust.

• Never Miss the Moment

The best moments are often fleeting, and with XF23mmF2.8 R WR’s rapid autofocusing, you’re perfectly equipped to record them. Thanks to a dedicated group of focusing elements, minimal movement is needed to acquire focus, allowing the lens’s DC motor to deliver consistent AF performance at uncompromised speeds.

• The Lens You Asked For!

Fujifilm recently asked existing X Series users’ what lens they’d like to see added to the XF lineup. The response was unanimous: a lens with the same focal length and form factor as the fixed lens on X100 series models, but in interchangeable form. So here it is – with a 35mm focal length equivalent, it’s just what you asked for!
