The XF23mmF2.8 R WR is an ultra-compact and lightweight lens with an easy-to-use focal length of 23mm (equivalent to 35mm in 35mm format), an overall length of only 23mm(1) and a weight of approximately 90g.
Boasting high resolution performance compatible with the 40.2 megapixel X-Trans™ CMOS 5 HR *2 sensor, the lens is versatile enough to handle a variety of shooting requirements, making it an ideal every day lens.
Suitable for standard, wide-angle, close-up, and various other types of photography, it offers high operability and toughness, thanks to its ultra compact size. It provides a high image quality photographic experience with ease in all situations, including snapshots, travel, portrait, landscape photography, and table photography. It's the ideal addition to every photographer's shooting set up.
Ultra-compact and lightweight design with high resolution performance
Adopting 8-elements in 6 groups lens including two aspherical lenses minimize aberrations from the center to the periphery and achieve high resolution performance.
Despite its high-resolution performance, the lens has been made optically compact by thinning the lens using the latest processing technology. Furthermore, the exterior design has also been made thinner by increasing the number of metal parts in the exterior components to make parts thinner with high strength. This lens has a total length of only 23 mm which is same as XF27mmF2.8, the thinnest XF lens, and it weighs just 90 g, making it compact and lightweight.
The 11 aperture blades allows users to enjoy snapshots that highlight the subject with beautiful circular bokeh effects, as well as close-up shots of small objects.
Close-up photography and high-precision, high-speed autofocus
The minimum object distance is 20cm which is achieved while maintaining a small size. This allows photographers to enjoy taking pictures in all kinds of situations, such as table photos and in cramped indoor spaces.
The lens uses a full-group focusing system, which suppresses aberration variation depending on the focus position, enabling high image quality photography even at close range.
A powerful DC motor is adopted to achieve high-speed AF. The camera can be carried anywhere for a photographic experience that ensures photographers never miss a moment.
Stylish, easy-to-operate design
The exterior of the product has been carefully selected for its texture and color, and a front slant design has been adopted to achieve a stylish, high-grade appearance.
The MF ring is equipped with a high-precision sensor that enables MF adjustment even with a small number of revolutions, allowing for delicate operation of the MF ring.
Despite the short overall length of the lens, a fixed ring is set between MF ring and aperture ring so that they do not interfere with each other; when turning one ring, the other ring does not become entangled, providing comfortable operability.
Knurling on the rear of the cover allows easy grip of the lens for easy lens replacement.
The lens barrel is dustproof, drip-proof, and resistant to temperatures as low as -10°C with 9 sealing points on each part of the barrel. The lens barrel can be used safely in light rain or dusty environments.
