The Fujifilm XF 35mm F2 R WR offers a classic standard focal length, fast maximum aperture and weather-proofing in a small, discrete package, making it well-suited to street, reportage and low-light photography in any conditions when paired with a similarly weather-proof body.

The Fujinon XF23mm F1.4 R is a fast prime for Fujifilm's X system of mirrorless cameras. It offers a moderate wideangle field of view equivalent to a 35mm lens on full frame. It has traditional aperture and manual focus rings, and the latter has distance and depth of field scales too.

Absolutely brilliant lens. Fast with excellent image quality across the frame and at all apertures. This lens creates a great perspective, and is ideal for travel and street photography. The fast aperture enables easy subject isolation and produces excellent bokeh.

Build quality

I am a fuji shooter, although I love my G85 for other reasons. I have several fuji primes but the 56 1.2 most buy is most likely my choice if the prices were the same however my personal opinion is that the 50mm f2 gives a more ageless bokeh.

23mm f2 lens is a perfect street and landscape lens! Love it

Although this wasn't a lens that I was in real need of - I already had a 35mm f1.4, but because I've heard so many rave reviews of this lens I decided to give it a go. I can confirm that this lens is absolutely superb on my X-T1.

The premium wide-angle lens designed to maximize the performance of the Fujifilm X-Trans CMOS sensor for the highest picture quality. With a focal length equivalent to 35mm*, the lens is suitable for a wide range of applications including portraits and landscapes as well as more general photography.

+ Small and practical to carry; + Lightweight; + Robustly made; + Satisfying to use; + Delivers great results

More expensive than the XF 23mm f/2 R WR and XF 35mm f/2 WR; Bokeh isn't as dreamy as the XF 56mm f/1.2 R or XF 56mm f/1.2 APD ASPH

The quality of the images created using this lens don't disappoint, and by opening the lens to its widest aperture setting of f/2 it's possible to create a pleasing separation between near and far subjects.

The Fujinon XF 23mm F2 R WR ($449) is the second in Fujifilm's new line of compact, weather-sealed f/2 prime lenses for its X mirrorless camera system. It's an excellent performer, delivering crisp images from edge to to edge, in a package that matches well with the company's premium cameras. It only captures half the light as the larger, premium XF 23mm F1.4 R ($899.00 at Amazon) at its maximum aperture, but it also comes in at half the price. If you don't lust after the more extreme depth of field control offered at f/1.4, the XF 23mm F2 R is an excellent optic, and one that's worthy of being called Editors' Choice. Design The XF 23mm F2 ($449.99 at Amazon) measures just 2.4 by 2.0 inches (HD), weighs a scant 6.4 ounces, and supports 43mm filters. The XF 23mm F1.4 is a larger, heavier optic, coming in at 2.8 by 2.5 inches and weighing 10.6 ounces. Neither 23mm lens has image stabilization, a feature that Fujifilm has, to date, reserved for zoom lenses. The F2 lens is available...

The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 23mm F2 R WR is an extremely crisp, compact lens for X mirrorless cameras. It's a fine choice for any photographer looking for a weather-sealed wide-angle prime.
