Product Feature:
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.
Remarkable Everyday
XF23mmF2.8 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, XF23mmF2.8 R WR joins XF23mmF1.4 R LM WR and XF23mmF2 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.
Uncompromised Quality
Unlike many compact, lightweight lenses, XF23mmF2.8 R WR makes no compromises on image quality. Leveraging advanced manufacturing techniques refined through the development G Mount lenses, its optical construction, with two aspherical lenses, minimizes aberrations from center to edge for outstanding resolution. With an 11-blade aperture, it also delivers beautifully rounded bokeh for a smooth, sumptuous background blur.
Get Close to What You Love
XF23mmF2.8 R WR lets you get close to the things you love, so you can fill the frame with smiles, flowers, food, or any of your favorite moments. By optimizing the angle of entry that directs light to the imaging sensor, this lens has a minimum focusing distance of just 20cm (7.87 in), which enables XF23mmF2.8’s solitary group of focusing elements to provide consistent autofocus performance and deliver incredible image quality with minimal aberration variances across different subject distances.
Fast, Smooth Autofocus

With a design of eight elements in six groups, that includes a dedicated group of focusing elements, minimal movement is need to acquire focus, which allows the lens’s DC motor to deliver consistent autofocus performance at uncompromised speeds.
