Fujifilm XF 23mm f1.4 R Wide Angle Prime Lens

Fujifilm XF 23mm f/1.4 R Lens Summary

The premium standard to wide-angle XF 23mm f/1.4 R Lens from Fujifilm is designed to maximise the performance of the 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 ideally suited to Fujifilm cameras.

The fast maximum aperture of f/1.4 allows you to shoot hand-held in low light conditions where zoom lenses would introduce camera shake plus it creates beautiful bokeh for artistic images. Lens distortion has been reduced to the absolute minimum using only optical rather than digital correction thereby delivering the highest possible picture quality as expected in the X-Mount lens range.

The rounded seven-blade diaphragm ensures smooth bokeh even when shooting portraits or product shots at a medium aperture to maintain reasonable depth-of-field.

From super wide to telephoto users will be able to freely choose lenses that match their shooting style or purpose bringing much greater versatility to the FUJIFILM X-Pro3.
