FUJIFILM XF 23mm f/2.8 Reviews

A great walking around lens...

By Brighton Ben

4-1/2 stars... I'll keep this short and sweet... I have this mounted on my X-E5 and strictly use it outdoors. The f2.8 aperture is a bit limiting indoors, necessitating a flash and artificial lighting. The street is what this lens lives for. I'm constantly being asked: "Is that the X100VI?" :-)

Excellent Lens / Excellent Service

Received the FUJIFILM XF 23mm f/2.8 lens quickly and well packaged, as usual. Very compact, great image quality. An excellent companion to my XT-50. I agree with other reviewers that it does make a bit of noise while focusing, but that's not really a big issue.

Will this lens accept a step up ring or would I need to put a 39mm up filter on first?
Asked by: Jack
The FUJIFILM XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR Lens (FUJIFILM X, Black) has a 39mm filter thread which would allow for use of filters and step-up rings.
