FUJIFILM XF 23mm f/2 R WR Lens (Black)
Compact Wide-Angle Prime for Fujifilm X-Mount – 35mm Full-Frame Equivalent Focal Length, Fast f/2 Maximum Aperture, Stepping Motor AF with Internal Focusing (IF) Design, Advanced Optics (2 Aspherical Elements), Super EBC Multi-Coating, Weather-Resistant (WR) All-Metal Construction, Physical Aperture Ring with Auto Lock, Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm, Includes Front & Rear Caps plus Dedicated Lens Hood (Good Condition)

The FUJIFILM XF 23mm f/2 R WR is a compact, weather-resistant wide-angle prime lens engineered for Fujifilm X-series mirrorless cameras, providing a classic 35mm full-frame equivalent field of view. Designed as an everyday walk-around and documentary prime, it strikes a balance between portability, edge-to-edge optical resolution, and low-light performance. Its bright f/2 maximum aperture allows for handheld shooting in low light while enabling shallow depth-of-field subject isolation, supported by a rounded 9-blade circular diaphragm for smooth background bokeh.

The optical formula features 10 elements in 6 groups, incorporating two aspherical elements to suppress distortion and spherical aberrations. Fujifilm’s proprietary Super EBC (Electron Beam Coating) multi-layer coating minimizes internal reflections, flare, and ghosting in high-contrast or backlit shooting environments. Autofocus is driven by a high-speed stepping motor paired with an Internal Focusing (IF) design, moving small internal elements to achieve focus in as fast as 0.05 seconds with near-silent operation for both stills and video. Built into a tapered, lightweight all-metal chassis, the lens features a tactile manual aperture ring, a 43mm front filter thread, and comprehensive weather-resistant seals to resist dust, moisture, and temperatures down to 14°F (-10°C).

CONDITION DIAGNOSTICS & PHYSICAL NOTES

Exterior & Physical Status: GOOD CONDITION. The black anodized metal barrel, ribbed manual focus ring, clicked aperture ring, hood bayonet track, and weather-sealed X-mount flange show standard cosmetic signs of regular field use, including light finish wear and minor surface scuffs on the outer metal housing.

Optical & Mechanical Status: FULLY FUNCTIONAL. Optical glass elements are clean and free of scratches, haze, or fungus; the internal stepping motor autofocus locks swiftly, silently, and accurately; the manual focus ring turns smoothly; the physical aperture ring clicks firmly between stops; the rounded 9-blade diaphragm actuates reliably across all f-stops.
