Fujifilm XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR Lens Black Summary Open Box

The Fujifilm XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR Lens Black is a newly developed ultra-compact prime for X Series camera users who want excellent image quality in an exceptionally portable format. Weighing just 90g and measuring only 23mm in length, this is one of the smallest and lightest lenses in the XF lineup, which is perfect for everyday photography and travel.

Its 23mm focal length delivers a classic 35mm equivalent field of view, which has a large fanbase for being so adept at street photography, lifestyle, environmental portraits, and general purpose shooting.

Optically the lens includes two aspherical elements in an 8-element, 6-group design, and is capable of producing sharp results from the centre to the edges, while 11 rounded aperture blades help to render attractive circular bokeh when shooting wide open. Autofocus performance is noticeably fast and quiet, thanks to being driven by a high-torque DC motor that supports both stills and video recording.

The design includes nice touches from Fujifilm like the aperture and focus rings, manual focus response, and a stylish black finish with weather sealing at nine points. This lens can easily be combined with the latest 40MP high-resolution sensors, thanks to the impressive quality that the XF 23mm f/2.8 delivers.

Responsive Autofocus and Close Focus

Focusing is handled by a fast DC motor that uses an internal full-group focusing system. This delivers fast and silent AF for both stills and video. With a minimum focusing distance of just 20cm, the lens is effective for tabletop shots, close-ups and portraits, as well as for small object photography.

Premium Build with Enhanced Usability

Despite its size, the XF 23mm f/2.8 is built with metal components, and features weather sealing at nine critical points. The aperture and manual focus rings are carefully spaced for easy adjustment, and are textured for tactile control. Fujifilm has included a fixed ring between the controls to prevent interference, ensuring a smooth shooting experience in virtually any situation.
