Product Features in Detail

The First View Reborn
The natural view of a 23mm lens – the focal length on the very first X Series camera – has been used to create countless everyday masterpieces. Now, the compact form and functionality of the original fixed lens has inspired a compact, interchangeable option: XF23mmF2.8 R WR. Offering a weather-resistant build, smooth autofocus, and high resolution capability, it’s simply a joy to use and barely noticeable when it’s attached to an X Series camera body.

Portability Without Compromise
Thanks to advanced manufacturing techniques, XF23mmF2.8 R WR is so slim and portable you’ll want to take it anywhere and everywhere. Its construction of eight elements, in six groups, includes two aspherical lenses, yet it weighs just 90g (3.17oz) and measures a mere 23mm (0.9 in) in length.
But this compact portability does not compromise usability. A knurled ring at the base of the lens ensures a secure grip for easy handling, while a thin space placed between the aperture and focus rings make for easy adjustment of either setting when composing through the viewfinder. Packed with thoughtful features, this lens delivers a stress-free creative experience.
