Fujifilm XF 23mm f/1.4 R LM WR Lens Summary

The Fujifilm XF 23mm f/1.4 R LM WR Lens is a new-generation prime delivering exceptional sharpness even wide open at f/1.4, setting a new benchmark in performance for XF lenses. It includes high speed and accurate AF performance for both stills and video in a lightweight rugged construction with an equivalent focal width of 35mm in full frame format. This popular width is suitable for a number of subjects and often favoured as the definitive versatile lens for general shooting, as it covers portraits and street photography, to landscapes, travel and all day shooting.

The bright aperture allows you to experiment with an extremely shallow depth of field, capturing out-of-focus areas with creamy bokeh to isolate your subject whilst also excelling in low light situations.

Combine this lens with any X Series Fujifilm camera to see beautiful Fujifilm colour science rendered along with a choice of Film Simulations for excellent results straight out of camera. Resolving power has been improved to cater for forthcoming higher resolution sensors delivering future-proof optical technology available today. A close minimum focus distance of just 19cm furthers the versatility of the XF 23mm f/1.4 R LM WR lens and the subjects which you can capture with it.

Edge to edge sharpness with new-generation resolution performance

Image quality is handled by an optical design with 15 lens elements, including two aspherical elements and three ED elements, in 10 groups. These work together reducing chromatic aberration and spherical aberration for edge-to-edge sharpness even when wide open. This results in superior image quality across all focusing ranges from close-up to infinity.

The fast f/1.4 aperture with 9-bladed design provides a shallow depth of field rendering creamy out of focus backgrounds with pleasing bokeh. Comatic aberration is also well-controlled to capture small light sources as round points, avoiding colour casts.

Versatile focal width

With an equivalent of 35mm in full frame format users can capture a diverse range of subjects with a minimal working distance of just 19cm and maximum 0.2x magnification. This offers a great degree of versatility with great improvements over the previous model.

Silent, accurate AF

A linear motor drives fast, silent and accurate Autofocus in as little as 0.04 seconds, ensuring that you’ll never miss a decisive moment, even with moving subjects.

Video creators benefit from reduced focus breathing making this an ideal choice for movie making.

Clear and crisp images at all focus positions are maintained by the driver mechanism, which means you’ll get excellent results throughout the near to far range.

Compact, lightweight and weather-resistant construction

The slimline XF 23mm f/1.4 weighs approximately 375g and measures just 77.8mm long with a compact filter thread size of 58mm.

Outdoor users benefit from weather seals applied in 11 locations on the lens barrel for a dust and weather resistant design which operates down to -10ºC.

Linear focusing with a new gear pitch responds precisely to even the most subtle fingertip movement when using manual focus for pin sharp results.
