You’ll have a hard time deciding between this f/2 Fuji lens and the f/1.4 variant in fact since the f/2 offers very similar image quality at almost half the price (and weight!) of the f/1.4 lens. It’s just as sharp throughout its aperture range as its big brother the f/1.4, and most importantly, excels wide open at f/2.

However, you’ll not want to reserve the 23mm f/2 WR as a mere backup, since the image quality it offers is superb. Weighing in at only 180g, this little lens is one of the lightest in the range, and so small that you could keep it in your jacket pocket all day as a backup and not even notice it there.įujifilm X-T2 + 23mm f/2 | f/5.6 | 1/3200 | ISO200 | © Jonas Rask The next impressive feature of the 23mm f/2 WR s its weight.

The ‘WR’ in the name of the 23mm f/2 WR stands for ‘weather-resistant. I have held a 23mm f/2 WR attached to a Fujifilm X-T2 under a running tap! When Fujifilm Australia kindly lent me one of their best mirrorless cameras for this lens review, they told me to have a go at this little stunt, and my jaw was on the floor… There are a few reasons why I think this impressive lens should be the first lens you consider when buying a Fuji mirrorless camera. It’s also the best Fuji prime lens if want that elusive 35mm focal length on a budget -) The 23mm f/2 WR is a bit of a special weapon in the lineup and one that deserves a mention. I’ve already reviewed a 23mm lens (the f/1.4 version), so why the need to include another one? So let’s take a look at the best Fuji lenses right now. The compact, lightweight, high quality and affordable lens selection are the major drawcards of the Fujifilm mirrorless camera system. What are the Best Fuji Lenses in 2023?
