Fujifilm XF 23mm f/2 R WR Lens - Black

Wide angle for a wide range of situations

This 23mm wide-angle lens provides a 35mm-equivalent field of view, making it ideal for a range of everyday situations. Offering great versatility, use this lens for everything from portraits to landscapes. Designed to make the most of Fujifilm’s X-Trans CMOS sensor, it will deliver high picture quality when paired with a Fujifilm camera.

Compact and lightweight

Weighing just 180g this lightweight lens is also compact, making it easy to carry around. Whether you’re taking it with you on your travels, using it for events or everyday situations, it’s light enough to pack away and carry with you. Made out of stylish metal exterior, it’s not only robust but well designed. It also complements Fujifilm’s XF 35mm lens with a similar size and design if you wanted to make a set.

Weather and dust resistant

Capable of taking on temperatures as low as -10°C, the Fujifilm XF 23mm f/2 lens is ideal if you want to take it out on adventure travels or expose it to harsh temperatures. It’s also resistant to dust, with its weather seal construction closing off small particles from getting into the mechanics. You also won’t need to worry about getting it wet in rain as it’s waterproof.

Take on any lighting conditions

With an impressive aperture range from f/2 to f/16, you’ll have the flexibility to harness a range of lighting conditions for varied effects to create exactly the kind of image you're going for. Fast lenses like this also give you greater control over focus when working with shallow depth of field or selective focus techniques.

Fast and accurate autofocus

The internal focusing stepping motor AF system in this Fujifilm lens delivers smooth, near-silent performance. Focusing can be as quick as 0.05 seconds. We know that every millisecond counts in some situations, like when you’re trying to capture action shots, and this AF system is ideal for exactly that. As it shoots silently, it’s also ideal for situations where you need to be candid, such as around wildlife or during a special moment at an event.

Sharp and clear image quality

The 10 elements in 6 groups design including 2 aspherical elements produces advanced image quality. Spherical aberrations and distortions are minimised with this lens for increased clarity and sharpness in your images. With a super electron beam coating (EBC) on the lens surface, flaring and ghosting are reduced to produce clear and undistracted imagery.
