The XF 23mm f/1.4 R LM WR from Fujifilm offers a 35mm equivalent wide-angle perspective in a compact and portable design that is suited for travel, wedding, editorial and documentary photography. It focuses down to just 19cm, affording capture of close-up subjects. Featuring a fast maximum aperture of f/1.4 that balances size and speed, it is well-suited to working in low light conditions, offers a greater control when using shallow depth of field techniques, and, along with a rounded nine-blade diaphragm, provides a soft bokeh effect.
Optically the lens uses two aspherical elements and three ED element to reduce distortion and spherical aberrations. The optical design is complemented by a linear autofocus motor that ensures focusing is accurate, fast, and quiet, making it well-suited to capturing both stills and video; it also provides minimal focus breathing. The lens features a weather-resistant construction that withstands against dust and moisture, for peace of mind when working in difficult conditions, and can operate in temperature as low as -10°C.
This versatile lens comes supplied with front and rear lens caps, a lens hood, and a wrapping cloth.
