When Fujifilm launched the X-E5, it also unveiled a new pancake lens that made the new mirrorless feel more like the X100VI compact camera. But for months, the only way to get that new lens was to buy the X-E5 kit. That’s changing, however, as the Fujifilm XF 23mm f/2.8 finally has a launch date: December 01.
The Fujifilm XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR is a wide lens with a moderately bright f/2.8 aperture, yet it measures in at less than an inch long (23mm) and weighs just 3.17 oz (90g). That compact size helps Fujifilm’s mirrorless cameras feel more like a compact camera.
