FUJIFILM XF 23mm f/2 R WR Lens (Black)

Fujifilm XF 23mm f/2 R WR Lens (Black)
The Fujifilm XF 23mm f/2 R WR is the quintessential “walk-around” prime for X-Series photographers. Offering a classic 35mm equivalent focal length, this lens is prized for its compact “Fujicron” styling, rapid performance, and robust build. It is an ideal choice for street photography, environmental portraits, and everyday reportage where speed and portability are paramount.

Versatile Optics & Bright Aperture
Classic 35mm Perspective: The 23mm focal length provides a natural field of view that is wide enough for landscapes yet tight enough for portraits, making it a versatile “one-lens” solution.

f/2 Maximum Aperture: Strikes a perfect balance between a lightweight form factor and low-light capability. It provides excellent depth-of-field control for subject separation while keeping the lens pocketable.

Advanced Coatings & Glass: Features two aspherical elements to suppress distortion and spherical aberrations. Individual elements are treated with a Super EBC coating to minimize flare and ghosting, ensuring high contrast even in backlit scenes.

Built for Speed and the Elements
Silent Stepping Motor: The internal focusing system uses a near-silent stepping motor, delivering autofocus speeds as fast as 0.05 seconds. This makes it exceptionally capable for both candid stills and smooth video recording.

Weather-Resistant (WR) Construction: The lens barrel is sealed at multiple points to protect against dust and moisture. It is designed to operate reliably in inclement weather and freezing temperatures as low as 14°F.

Physical Aperture Ring: Includes a dedicated manual aperture ring with a tactile “R” clicking mechanism for intuitive exposure control.

Condition & Included Accessories
Custom Metal Square Hood: This unit includes an aftermarket metal square lens hood, providing a premium vintage aesthetic and superior protection against stray light compared to the standard plastic hood.

Mechanical Note: There is a visible grain of sand/dust within the focus assembly. While the lens remains functional, users may feel a slight texture during manual focusing; however, this generally does not affect autofocus performance or image quality.

Aesthetic Bokeh: A rounded nine-blade diaphragm creates smooth, circular out-of-focus highlights for a pleasing background blur.
