Ultra-compact and lightweight design with high resolution performance
The XF 23mm F/2.8 Lens features an optical design of 8 elements in 6 groups, including two aspherical elements to reduce aberrations and deliver sharpness across the entire frame.
Despite its high resolution capabilities, the lens remains optically compact thanks to advanced processing techniques that allow for thinner glass elements.
The exterior has also been made slimmer by using more metal components, combining strength with a refined, minimal design.
With a total length of just 23mm, matching the XF27mmF2.8, it is one of the thinnest XF lenses and weighs only 90g.
Its 11-blade aperture produces smooth, circular bokeh, making it ideal for both everyday snapshots and close-up photography.
Close-up photography and high-precision, high-speed AF
With a minimum focusing distance of just 20 cm, this compact lens is perfect for a variety of situations, including tabletop photography and tight indoor spaces.
The XF 23mm F/2.8 features a full-group focusing system, which minimizes aberration shifts across different focus distances, ensuring consistent image quality even at close range.
A high-torque DC motor enables fast and accurate autofocus, making it easy to capture fleeting moments wherever your photography takes you.
Stylish, easy-to-operate design and toughness
The lens exterior has been carefully designed with refined textures and colors, featuring a front-slanted design for a sleek, premium look.
The manual focus (MF) ring includes a high-precision sensor, enabling fine adjustments with minimal rotation for precise manual control.
Despite the lens’s compact form, a fixed ring separates the MF and aperture rings to prevent interference, ensuring smooth and accurate operation.
Knurling on the rear section of the barrel offers a secure grip for easy lens changes.
The XF 23mm F/2.8 is also built for durability, featuring a weather-resistant construction with nine seals for protection against dust, moisture, and temperatures as low as -10°C, ideal for use in light rain or dusty conditions.
