Inspired by the legendary lens from Fujifilm’s X100 series, the XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR takes the look and feel of a fixed-lens classic and delivers it in a compact, interchangeable form. Its 35mm equivalent field of view is beloved by documentary shooters, street storytellers, and everyday explorers alike, offering a versatile perspective that’s wide without distortion and intimate without intrusion.
Small? Absolutely. But also mighty. Weighing only 90g (3.17oz) and measuring just 23mm (0.91 inches) long, the XF 23mm f/2.8 is built to disappear into your camera or your pocket until you need it most.
And when you do? A knurled grip ring ensures confident handling, and a slim spacer between the aperture and focus rings makes for intuitive adjustments.
Despite its tiny footprint, this lens is no slouch. Built with two aspherical elements, it delivers edge-to-edge sharpness that more than keeps up with Fujifilm’s high-resolution sensors, including the cutting-edge 40.2MP X-Trans 5 HR.
There’s something magical about smooth background blur, and this lens serves it up in style. The 11-blade rounded aperture produces sumptuous bokeh, especially at wider settings like f/2.8 or f/4.
Perfect for portraits, food shots, and detail-rich close-ups, it adds that soft painterly quality that separates a great shot from a stunning one.
You can focus from just 20cm (7.87 inches) from the sensor, letting you fill the frame with flowers, hands, textures, or your latest café creation.
Light is directed precisely to the sensor with a single moving focus group, giving you consistent autofocus performance whether your subject is inches away or across the room.
With a weather-resistant construction, it’s protected against dust, moisture, and even chillier temps down to -10°C (14°F). Bonus: a lens hood is included for added defense (and some extra style points).
Some moments last a split second, but with this new Fujifilm lens, you’ll be ready. With a DC coreless motor and minimal internal element movement, the XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR delivers fast, reliable autofocus that locks on quickly and keeps up with real life.
