A new, modern classic lens has just made its debut! Introducing the FUJINON XF23mmF2.8 R WR, an exceptional blend of timeless aesthetics and contemporary capabilities. With a 35mm equivalent view, compact and lightweight structure, weather resilience, swift autofocus, and an 11-blade aperture, the detailed excellence of the XF23mmF2.8 R WR makes it an indispensable asset for any X Series photographer.
The new FUJINON XF23mmF2.8 R WR stands as a pinnacle of modern lens craftsmanship. Weighing a mere 90g (3.17oz) and measuring just 23 23mm (0.91 in.) in length, its slim and portable design ensures you can take it virtually anywhere. Yet, this does not mean it falls short in other areas. Its ergonomic grip and easily accessible controls ensure seamless operation, even when the camera is held up to your eye. The lens delivers exceptional results on any X Series body, and its lightweight nature ensures you can stay immersed in capturing the moment without distraction.
Thanks to its 11-blade aperture, the XF23mmF2.8 R WR creates beautifully smooth out-of-focus backgrounds, providing luxurious bokeh when working at wider apertures of F2.8 or F4. This is particularly ideal for close-up shots and portraits, offering superb subject isolation that allows you to fully emphasize your focal point.
Featuring an impressive close focusing distance of just 20cm (7.87 in.) from the sensor, achieved by optimizing the angle of light entry to the sensor and utilizing a single group of focusing elements, you can confidently capture flowers, food, or any preferred subjects while filling the frame. This dedicated group of focusing elements also requires minimal movement to achieve focus, enabling the lens's DC motor to provide consistent autofocus performance at remarkable speeds, ensuring you never miss a fleeting moment.
Regardless of the shooting conditions, the XF23mmF2.8 R WR is engineered to withstand challenges. When paired with a compatible camera body, the lens is resistant to moisture and can function in temperatures as low as -10°C (14°F). Additionally, a lens hood is included to offer extra protection against impacts and dust, ensuring your equipment remains safeguarded and ready for any photographic adventure.
