Compact wide-angle prime optimised for Fujifilm’s latest X Series
The XF 23mm f2.8 R WR introduces a new ultra-compact option to Fujifilm’s XF lens lineup, designed to pair perfectly with fifth-generation X Series bodies, such as the X-E5. Weighing just 90g and measuring 23mm in length, it provides a highly portable solution for photographers seeking maximum image quality in a compact form factor. The lens delivers a 35mm full-frame equivalent field of view, making it ideal for travel, street, documentary and general-purpose photography where mobility and versatility are priority.
Optical design with aspherical elements
The lens features an 8-element, 6-group optical construction including two aspherical elements. This design minimises distortion, curvature, and edge softness while preserving sharpness across the entire frame, even when used with Fujifilm’s high-resolution 40.2MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor. The bright f2.8 maximum aperture offers depth-of-field control in low light, while the 11-blade rounded diaphragm produces naturally circular bokeh for portraits, close-ups and subject separation.
Fast autofocus with close focusing capability
A DC motor drives the autofocus system, delivering quick, accurate and near-silent focusing performance suitable for both stills and video. The full-group focusing system maintains image quality throughout the focus range, while a minimum focus distance of 0.2m allows photographers to capture close-up subjects with 0.15x magnification. This flexibility makes the lens well-suited to tabletop photography, product shots, and tight indoor spaces.
Durable construction with weather sealing
Despite its compact size, the XF 23mm f2.8 R WR features a durable metal barrel and precision-machined controls for long-term reliability. Separate aperture and manual focus rings enable more precise adjustments, supported by a sensor-driven manual focus system for accurate and controlled focusing. Weather sealing at nine points protects against dust, moisture, and light rain, while maintaining full operational performance at temperatures as low as -10°C.

FAQs:
Can I use filters on the Fujifilm XF 23mm f2.8 WR Lens?
Yes. The XF 23mm f2.8 R WR accepts 39mm screw-in filters, allowing you to attach UV, polarising, or ND filters directly to the front of the lens. This feature enables greater creative control over reflections, contrast, exposure and colour when shooting in different lighting conditions.
How does the XF 23mm f2.8 R WR differ from Fujifilm’s existing 23mm f2 lens?
While both lenses offer a 35mm equivalent field of view, the XF 23mm f2.8 R WR is significantly smaller and lighter, measuring only 23mm in length and weighing 90g. It prioritises portability for photographers who want a compact option for everyday shooting, especially when paired with smaller X Series bodies. The f2 version offers a wider maximum aperture but is physically larger and heavier.
