From the manufacturer
Product Overview
The XF23mmF2 R WR is a wide-angle lens with advanced image resolution, capable of drawing out the full performance of Fujifilm's proprietary X-Trans CMOS sensor. It has a similar size and design flair of the existing XF35mmF2 R WR, to make up a stylish collection of compact lenses. The inner-focus AF system uses a stepping motor* to drive the focusing group of lens elements for silent and fast autofocus.
The metal exterior gives a sense of premium quality and robustness, and the aperture ring and focus ring have been designed for optimum operability. The lens is also weather and dust resistant and operates at temperatures as low as -10°C, making it an ideal choice for outdoor photography.
Compact Wide-angle Lens
|
|
|
---|---|---|
Advanced Image QualityThe lens consists of ten elements in six groups, including two aspherical elements. The optimum positioning of the aspherical elements ensures flatness of the image plane for edge-to-edge sharpness. The aspherical elements are used as part of the focusing group to minimize performance fluctuations between different focal distances. |
Compact, Lightweight And Stylish Design For Great Operability- The lens weighs just 180g. - The metal exterior, modeled after the design of XF35mmF2 R WR, gives a sense of premium quality and robustness. - The compact and stylish form factor almost completely eliminates mechanical vignetting* when using the optical viewfinder on the FUJIFILM X-Pro2 and X-Pro1 cameras. - The aperture ring and focus ring have just the right amount of clicking and torque for great operability. * Having part of the lens hood or lens barrel covering the corners of the view through an optical viewfinder. |
Weather and Dust Resistant, Capable Of Operating At Temperatures As Low As -10°CThe lens barrel is sealed to make it weather and dust resistant, and capable of operating at temperatures as low as -10°C. When mounted on the weather- and dust-resistant mirrorless digital cameras FUJIFILM X-Pro2, X-T1, and X-T2, you can shoot in light rain or a dusty environment with peace of mind. |
Optional Accessories
This lens can be used with the vented metal hood 'LH-XF35-2,' which is also compatible with the XF35mmF2 R WR. Coinciding with the launch of the XF23mmF2 R WR, a silver version of the lens hood is will also be released, allowing users to choose an optional hood that matches the color of the lens.
Fast and Silent Autofocus
The inner-focus AF system** uses a stepping motor to drive lightweight focusing elements for silent and fast autofocus. When combined with the phase detection AF system of FUJIFILM X-Pro2 and X-T2, the lens can focus in an astonishing 0.05 seconds***.
** An AF system that moves relatively small lens elements in the middle or at the rear for focusing.
*** Using an internal measurement method compliant with the CIPA Guidelines, with the High Performance mode turned on.

Image quality: I find that I get very similar image capture across all three lenses with little distortion evident in uncorrected RAW files. The built-in lens profiles in platforms like ON1 or Lightroom easily eliminate any barrel or pincushion. Colors are as expected from a Fuji lens and sharpness is exceptional.
Several reviews of the 23mm question the need for it when the shooter already has the 18-55mm lens, and for many photographers that may be a valid argument. But the 23mm f2.0 is 1 1/3 stops faster than the f3.2 max aperture of the 18-55 set to 23mm (the 35mm is 1 2/3 stops faster, the 50mm is a full 2 stops faster). Plus the 23mm is smaller, lighter, and weather resistant where the 18-55 is not.
Having three primes that range between the wide side of normal to short tele isn't for every photographer or every situation. For myself, I mount the lens I think is going to be appropriate for the situation: 23mm for parties, small groups, or close up entertainment / performance. The 35mm is great as an everyday shooter and when I'm anticipating environmental shots / street shots. Really good at rendering faces from moderate distances to moderate close up. The 50mm for more formal headshots / party pics, and a really nice length when you want to portray close and intimate people shots without distracting them or invading their space.
I use the 23mm f2.0 on an X-T2, X-E2, and X-Pro1 and get great results across the board. Focusing speed is different on each camera, but with the most current firmware I get snappy focus even on the X-Pro1.
Conclusion: There are wider lenses, even wider lenses with faster apertures. But the 23mm f2.0 is a great choice if you are looking to fill out a compact, light, and weather resistant kit. The image quality is what we have come to expect from a Fuji lens. Not terribly wide, but wide enough without introducing distortion.
CONSTRUCTION: 5/5 stars. Like all Fujinon lenses, this one is made of a solid feeling metal exterior that any photographer can appreciate. It's certainly a premium feeling lens in a world where everything is made of plastic. The focus ring has a tactical feeling finger grip that is slightly thicker than the one of the 35/2 and is smooth as butter. The aperture ring has a pleasant amount of tension. Not too much but enough not to move it.
IMAGE QUALITY: 4/5 stars. On Fuji's APS-C size sensors, the 23mm focal length mimics a 28mm full frame equivalent. Image quality is excellent in the middle aperture range and decent wide open. However, like the 35/2, focus up close and wide open results in a softer image, which is typical of any lens wide open, really. This is not terribly noticeable unless you're pixel peeping and usually can be remedied by adding a little contrast in post. Bokeh is there with close focus but isn't extreme. The bokeh balls are smaller, as expected with a short focal length and shouldn't be a deal breaker. If you're a bokeh head, I suggest longer focal lengths.
BEST USES: In my opinion, its features lends itself best to street photography but is also a fantastic choice for landscape and travel photographers. Street and travel photographers will rejoice in its small, inconspicuous size and its lightning fast and wicked silent autofocus. Landscape photographers will also benefit from that, as well as it's light weight and small size that takes up little room in a camera bag, and its weather sealing for inclement days.
BOTTOM LINE: Yes, I highly recommend this lens to any Fuji shooter than shoots street, landscapes, or travels. It's just about everything you want in a camera lens for an entry lens price. Fujifilm also includes the lens hood and a soft pouch for this lens, which I appreciate. Most manufacturers don't include these things and will make you buy them separately so to have it included is a nice little plus. Thanks Fuji

PROS:
Rendering is contrasty and excellent, and its really sharp corner to corner at almost all apertures. Flaring and ghosting are very well controlled. The included hood is very handy. Auto-focus is fast, accurate, and quiet. It has a very short MFD of 22cm (for reference, the 23mm 1.4 is 60cm). It's small, well built, and lightweight. No distortion! Coma is low and needs to be at ~2.8 for a great performance. I haven't noticed any significant issues with CA.
CONS:
Bokeh isn't very smooth in some situations - it shows some outlining and onion rings, with the corners being the most problematic due to mechanical vignetting (cats eye effect). Vignetting, while corrected in camera for JPEGs, is pretty high. Sharpness at MFD to about 50cm is lower at large apertures, the lens needs to be stopped down to at least 4.0 and maybe 5.6 for good sharpness depending on distance to your subject.
There isn't much to dislike about this lens, there is in fact a lot to love about it. If you keep in mind the sharpness issues at MFD you can easily avoid them and get great pictures all the time. Most non-macro lenses have sharpness/contrast issues at MFD but because this lens allows you to focus so close it can exaggerate the issue. If you're after lovely smooth bokeh you may want to consider the 23mm 1.4.

Ho preso una lente prime in quanto ideale per cominciare con la fotografia e capire come funzionano le focali (nonostante utilizzassi già uno zoom che però mi vincolava fisicamente dato che mi bastava una ruitata della lente per avvicinare il soggetto).
L'obiettivo è molto piccolo e compatto ma costruito meravigliosamente, tutto in metallo, è tropicalizzato e la ghiera dei diaframmi è fantastica. Anche la ghiera della messa a fuoco manuale è molto fluida e precisa.
Le foto sono estremamente nitide, luminose e dettagliate. Mess a fuoco molto veloce e precisa anche se mi aspettavo qualcosa di ancora migliore ma probabilmente è dovuto alla mia camera essendo una low-middle budget.
Ideale per paesaggistica a mio parere ma se la cava bene in tutto.
Penso che sarà la mia lente principale che lascerò attaccata alla macchina e che porterò sempre con me.
