Fujiinon XF23mm f/2.8 R WR: The Perfect Pancake Lens Destined to Become an Instant Classic

Share

Today we have a couple of reviews about the Fujinon XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR.

The French website phototrend is very enthusiastic about it and ends up recommending it “without any hesitation” and also Luca Petralia is sure that this lens will become an instant classic, as it is optically great (even better than the XF27mmF2.8).

Overall it seems that Fujifilm has crafted a wonderful little lens.

The only problem?

If you want just the lens, you’ll have to wait for December 2025 for it to ship. The only way to get it earlier is to purchase it bundled with the Fujifilm X-E5 (or get it second hand from those, who’ll sell the lens only once they got it shipped with their X-E5).

And quite frankly, if the very high pre-orders of the Fujifilm X-E5 bundles are confirmed, then I’d not be surprised if the lens only shipping start would be pushed back even further.

With that said, below are the reviews.
