FUJIFILM Unveils the Ultra-Compact, High-Performance FUJINON XF23mmF2.8 R WR Lens

FUJIFILM Corporation proudly expands its acclaimed XF Lens lineup with the launch of the FUJINON Lens XF23mmF2.8 R WR—a sleek new addition designed specifically for the X Series of mirrorless digital cameras, celebrated for their compact form factor and exceptional image quality powered by Fujifilm’s proprietary color science.

Precision Meets Portability

The XF23mmF2.8 R WR offers a 23mm focal length (equivalent to 35mm in 35mm format) and features an impressively slim profile—just 23mm in length and weighing approximately 90g. This new lens is engineered to deliver outstanding resolution that complements the 40.2MP X-Trans™ CMOS 5 HR sensor, all while maintaining a highly portable, lightweight build. It’s an ideal companion for a broad range of shooting styles—from street and travel to portrait, landscape, and tabletop photography.

• Engineered with 8 elements in 6 groups, including two aspherical lenses, the XF23mmF2.8 ensures sharp image quality from edge to edge while minimizing aberrations.
• Built with cutting-edge lens processing technology, this model is optically and structurally thinner—matching the profile of the XF27mmF2.8, the slimmest lens in the XF series.
• With 11 aperture blades, it delivers beautifully rendered circular bokeh, perfect for creative snapshots and detailed close-ups.

2. Close-Up Versatility and High-Speed Autofocus
