XF 23mm f/2 R WR Lens with UV Filter Kit Overview

This B&H Kit pairs the FUJIFILM XF 23mm f/2 R WR Lens with a Chiaro Pro 43mm 98-UVATS UV Filter.

FUJIFILM XF 23mm f/2 R WR Lens (Black)

Designed as a compact, walk-around prime, the black XF 23mm f/2 R WR from FUJIFILM is a versatile 35mm-equivalent lens characterized by its f/2 maximum aperture that strikes and ideal balance between portability and speed. The optical design features two aspherical elements to reduce distortion and spherical aberrations in order to produce greater sharpness and accurate rendering. A Super EBC coating is also used to control flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity when working in bright and backlit conditions. Complementing the optics is a stepping motor, along with an internal focusing design, which provides quick and especially quiet focusing performance. Additionally, the lens is weather-sealed to suit working in inclement conditions.

Prime wide-angle lens is designed for APS-C-format FUJIFILM X-mount mirrorless cameras and provides a 35mm equivalent focal length.
Bright f/2 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and also offers greater control over depth of field.
Two aspherical elements limit distortion and spherical aberration in order to realize greater sharpness and accurate rendering.
Super EBC coating has been applied to individual elements to reduce lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.
Stepping motor, along with an internal focusing design, affords fast and quiet autofocus performance that benefits both stills and video applications.
The lens body incorporates weather sealing to protect against dust and moisture, and to enable worry-free use in inclement conditions and freezing temperatures as low as 14°F.
Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.

Chiaro 43mm 95-UVAT UV Filter

The 43mm 95-UVAT UV Filter is one of Chiaro’s highly-rated protective UV filters with 95% light transmission. It’s useful for photographers of all levels who demand high-quality glass and other essential features for great image fidelity and construction.

To achieve 95% light transmission, Chiaro uses highly-polished optical glass, multi-coating, and additional advanced elements that improve the filter’s light transmission. A hard-anodized aluminum filter ring is designed to screw on and off effortlessly, and it’s thin to prevent vignetting when used with wide-angle lenses.

Image quality is what matters most at Chiaro. The company has tested and combined many features and essentials to achieve superior image quality and the highest light transmission. To help take the confusion out of selecting a filter, Chiaro prominently displays the light transmission levels so you can choose the perfect filter for your lens and photo session.

95% Light Transmission
Protect your lens while maintaining optical quality. By using highly-polished optical glass, Chiaro offers a 95% transmission rate. And the company verifies the ratings with ISO certified lab testing.
Polished Optical Glass
Highly-polished glass is essential to achieve a high level of light transmission. The optical glass in this Chiaro filter is polished for flatness that ensures great optical clarity.
Multi-Coating
Multi-coating enhances light transmission to the demanding level set for all Chiaro filters. It reduces unwanted internal reflections and ghosting that can compromise your images.
UV Protection
The filter blocks UV light and reduces the bluish cast of daylight that can affect color accuracy, especially at higher altitudes.
Hard Anodized Aluminum Construction
The process of hard anodizing toughens and strengthens the aluminum for a lightweight yet durable filter ring.
Slim Design
Measuring only 3.2mm, this filter is slim enough to use on wide-angle lenses without experiencing vignetting.
Top Knurling
Top knurling is designed to offer a firm grip on the filter when you're attaching or removing it.
Secure Attachment
It takes two full turns to mount the filter on your lens. This feature will securely hold your Chiaro filter through the most demanding photo shoots.
Front Threads
The front threads on the filter allow you to stack filters by screwing them onto your Chiaro filter.

XF 23mm f/2 R WR Lens with UV Filter Kit Reviews

Love it!

I’m downsizing from the XH2S to the XS20 so I bought the smaller 23mm f/2 to combine with my 18-55 for a compact travel kit. I found the fujifilm 27 2.8 pancake to be noisy on the XS20 (not so on the 2S). This 23mm is very light and appears to be very sharp. I sold my larger lenses to BH Photo and made enough to pay for the XS20 and the 23mm lens, with change to spare.

Decent

Image quality isn't signifcantly better than the 18-55 kit. But it is smaller and better for low light situations.

This is probably one of my all-time fave lenses. I've used it on the XT2, 3 and 4, and it pretty much stays on all the time. Great for candid, travel, even some pro work.

Just can't say enough how much I adore this lens. Really versatile, the perfect default carry-around lens on my XT4 and XT5.

Perfect size for street photography + landscape. If your comfortable, you can get away with creating portraits as well!

This and the newer 33mm Fuji lens live on my XT5 all the time. Can't go wrong with it.

Lightweight & Sharp!

I love this lens. Use it on my X-T5 as a general walk around/travel lens. I bought the silver so I always know which one it is when retrieving quickly from my camera bag. Autofocus is fast. I use back button autofocus. The 35mm equivalent is perfect for travel. With the 40 megapixel sensor of the X-T5 you can always crop if need be. F2 is plenty fast enough. You can use it indoors as well by bumping up the ISO a bit. Not a problem anymore using the new Lightroom Denoise AI, DxO PureRaw, Topaz, etc. I am loving these Fuji primes. Just sold my XF 18-135. It's a great lens for events. I'll just rent one if I need to. As usual, super fast shipping from B & H.

A news photographers lens

I shot for a weekly newspaper for ten years, freelance to magazines for more than that, and over 50 weddings. This was my go to focal length (35mm equivalent). It is a story telling lens. Great for street, travel, etc. I have it mounted on either my Pro 2 or XT-20. On the silver XT-20 people think I am shooting film. Only con, not sharp wide open but f/4 and above a stellar lens, first Len most people should buy. Far more useful than a zoom.

FUJIFILM XF 23mm f/2 R WR Lens has 3 incremental clicks per f-stops. Is recomended to slow down when changing aperture since it doesnt take much pressure to turn the ring.
