Fujifilm XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR Lens – Black
The Fujifilm XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR is an ultra-compact pancake prime that redefines the “everyday carry” experience for X-Series photographers. Delivering a classic 35mm equivalent field of view in a frame weighing only 90g, this weather-sealed lens is the perfect solution for street photography, travel, and discreet documentary work.
Extreme Portability, Professional Resolution
Despite its remarkably slim profile—measuring just 23mm in length—the XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR is engineered to resolve the high detail of Fujifilm’s latest 40.2-megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensors. The optical construction features 8 elements in 6 groups, including two aspherical elements that effectively suppress spherical aberrations and field curvature. This ensures edge-to-edge sharpness and clarity, making it a powerful tool for landscape and architectural photography where distortion control is paramount.
Built for the Elements and Aesthetics
Designed with the signature Fujifilm aesthetic, the lens features a dedicated physical aperture ring for tactile exposure control and a robust, metal-bodied construction. As a “WR” (Weather Resistant) designated lens, it incorporates 9 sealing points across the barrel, providing dust and moisture resistance and allowing it to operate in temperatures as low as -10°C. Whether you are shooting in a light drizzle or a dusty urban environment, the XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR provides the reliability needed for professional field use.
Smooth Bokeh and Rapid Focus
While its primary strength is its diminutive size, the lens does not compromise on character. It features an 11-blade rounded aperture diaphragm—a rarity for a pancake lens—which produces exceptionally smooth, circular bokeh for beautiful subject separation. Autofocus is handled by a high-speed DC motor that ensures quick, quiet, and accurate tracking, while a minimum focusing distance of just 20cm allows for creative close-up shots of food, flowers, or intricate details.
