Fujifilm XF 23mm F2 R WR Lens (Black & Silver)

The Versatility of the Fujifilm XF 23mm F2 R WR Lens: The Perfect Blend of Design, Performance, and Quality

Overview:

Offering a 35mm in the 35mm format, the compact, weather-resistant Fujifilm XF 23mm F2 R WR Lens (Black & Silver) is incredibly versatile and suited for all types of photography from portrait and street photography to documentary and landscapes. Characterized by its f/2 maximum aperture that achieves a perfect balance between portability and speed, this 23mm lens is great in low light and will be sure to focus quickly when the moment calls for it. It boasts an all-metal exterior that ensures robustness and longevity weighing a mere 6.3oz. (180g), making it capable of withstanding everyday use and providing reliable service for many years.

The Fujifilm lens utilizes an inner focusing mechanism that drives smaller and lighter lens elements to focus in just 0.05 sec, maximizing autofocus performance. This process is accomplished silently, enabling users to swiftly and discreetly capture a wide range of images. It also proves beneficial when aiming to create a blurred background effect for professional portraits. Thanks to the nine-blade aperture diaphragm, the bokeh will be smooth, with highlights almost perfectly circular. Plus, a series of rubber seals keep out moisture and dust, and can operate all the way down to 14F (-10C) making it weather-resistant.

More details:

• Compact Wide angle lens - The Fujifilm 23mm lens 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 to the existing Fuji 35mm f2, to make up a stylish collection of compact lenses. The inner-focus AF system uses a stepping motor^*1 to drive the focusing group of lens elements for silent and fast autofocus.
• Advanced image quality - The Fuji 23mm lens consists of ten elements in six groups, including two aspherical elements. The optimum positioning of the aspherical elements ensures the 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 Fujifilm 23mm f2 lens weighs just 180g. The metal exterior, modeled after the design of the Fujifilm XF 35mm f2, gives a sense of premium quality and robustness. The compact and stylish form factor almost completely eliminates mechanical vignetting^*2 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.
• Fast and silent autofocus - The inner-focus AF system^*3 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.^*4 
• Weather and dust resistant, capable of operating at temperatures as low as -10°C - The Fuji XF 23mm 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.

NOTES: *1 The type of motor that rotates only at a fixed angle in response to an electrical pulse signal, and is used in precision positioning.
*2 Having part of the lens hood or lens barrel covering the corners of the view through an optical viewfinder.
*3 An AF system that moves relatively small lens elements in the middle or at the rear for focusing.
*4 Use an internal measurement method compliant with the CIPA Guidelines, with the High-Performance mode turned on.
