The 23mm lens provides a natural perspective, and its focal length, utilized in the inaugural X Series camera, has led to the creation of numerous everyday masterpieces. Now, the compact design and functionality of the original fixed lens have inspired a new compact, interchangeable option in the FUJIFILM XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR. With a weather-resistant construction, seamless autofocus, and high-resolution performance, it is a pleasure to use and remains almost unnoticeable when mounted on an X Series camera body. The FUJIFILM XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR is remarkably slim and portable, making it a perfect companion for any occasion. Weighing only 90g (3.17oz) and with a length of just 23mm (0.91 inches), it is so lightweight that you may hardly notice it is attached to your camera, which makes it an excellent choice for daily use. Thoughtful design elements ensure that handling remains uncompromised, even with its compact size. A knurled ring located at the base of the lens provides a secure grip, and the inclusion of a thin spacer between the aperture and focus rings facilitates effortless adjustments of either setting while composing your shot through the viewfinder. Small, But Mighty A remarkable achievement in contemporary lens design, the XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR produces exceptional outcomes, adeptly resolving the newest 40.2-megapixel X-Trans 5 HR sensor. This level of performance is achievable due to the implementation of cutting-edge manufacturing methods, honed through the evolution of Fujifilm’s large format G Mount lenses. The optical design incorporates two aspherical lenses, effectively reducing aberrations from the center to the edges, resulting in images rich in detail. Super-Smooth Bokeh Thanks to its 11-blade aperture, the XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR creates beautifully smooth out-of-focus regions, resulting in sumptuous bokeh when utilized at wider apertures of f/2.8 or f/4. This lens is particularly well-suited for close-up photography and portraits, providing excellent subject separation that allows you to focus entirely on your subject. Stay Close to What Matters The XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR boasts an exceptional close focusing distance of merely 20cm (7.87 inches) from the sensor, allowing you to effectively fill the frame with flowers, food, or any of your preferred subjects. This functionality is achieved by optimizing the angle of entry that channels light to the sensor, along with employing a single group of focusing elements to ensure reliable autofocus performance, regardless of the distance to the subject. Non-Stop Creativity! Creativity does not pause for the sun to shine, which is the reason why the weather-resistant design of the XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR allows you to continue capturing images even when the elements are unfavorable. When used with a compatible camera body, it is engineered to withstand severe conditions, moisture, and temperatures as low as -10°C (14°F). Additionally, a lens hood is provided for extra protection against impacts and dust.
