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: XF 23mm f/2.8 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, XF 23mm f/2.8 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.

Remarkable Everyday

XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR may be a new addition to the family of X Mount lenses, but it follows a long history of other 23mm lenses that also find their origin stories connected to the original X100 fixed lens camera. Offering exactly the same angle of view that is very similar to our own eyesight, XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR joins XF 23mm f/1.4 R LM WR and XF 23mm f/2 R WR in establishing new standards for creativity with a lens that combines remarkable compactness with modern optical design to bring clarity and brilliance to any beautiful moment.

Ready for Anything

Creativity doesn’t stop in bad weather, but with XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR you can leave your raincoat at home. Its weather-resistant design is built to handle harsh conditions, including moisture and temperatures as low as -10°C. A lens hood is also included for further protection against impact and dust. Create with peace of mind, whenever and wherever you wish!
