FUJIFILM XF 23mm f/2.0 R WR (Black)

Compact wide-angle lens

The XF23mmF2 R WR is a wide-angle lens with advanced image resolution, capable of drawing out the full performance of Fujifilm's proprietary X-Trans CMOS sensor. It has a similar size and design flair of the existing XF35mmF2 R WR, to make up a stylish collection of compact lenses. The inner-focus AF system uses a stepping motor* to drive the focusing group of lens elements for silent and fast autofocus. The metal exterior gives a sense of premium quality and robustness, and the aperture ring and focus ring have been designed for optimum operability. The lens is also weather and dust resistant and operates at temperatures as low as -10°C, making it an ideal choice for outdoor photography.

*The type of motor that rotates only at a fixed angle in response to an electrical pulse signal, and is used in precision positioning.

 

Advanced image quality

The lens consists of ten elements in six groups, including two aspherical elements. The optimum positioning of the aspherical elements ensures flatness of the image plane for edge-to-edge sharpness. The aspherical elements are used as part of the focusing group to minimize performance fluctuations between different focal distances.

 

Compact, lightweight and stylish design for great operability

The lens weighs just 180g. The metal exterior, modeled after the design of XF35mmF2 R WR, gives a sense of premium quality and robustness. The compact and stylish form factor almost completely eliminates mechanical vignetting* when using the optical viewfinder on the FUJIFILM X-Pro2 and X-Pro1 cameras. The aperture ring and focus ring have just the right amount of clicking and torque for great operability.

*Having part of the lens hood or lens barrel covering the corners of the view through an optical viewfinder.

 

Fast and silent autofocus

The inner-focus AF system** uses a stepping motor to drive lightweight focusing elements for silent and fast autofocus. When combined with the phase detection AF system of FUJIFILM X-Pro2 and X-T2, the lens can focus in an astonishing 0.05 seconds***.

**An AF system that moves relatively small lens elements in the middle or at the rear for focusing.

***Using an internal measurement method compliant with the CIPA Guidelines, with the High Performance mode turned on.

 

Weather and dust resistant, capable of operating at temperatures as low as -10°C

The lens barrel is sealed to make it weather and dust resistant, and capable of operating at temperatures as low as -10°C. When mounted on the weather- and dust-resistant mirrorless digital cameras FUJIFILM X-Pro2, X-T1, and X-T2, you can shoot in light rain or a dusty environment with peace of mind.
