Review VerdictThe Fujinon XF 23 f/2 R WR is a nice little prime with lots of strengths but some weaknesses as well. The build quality is exceptional, except for the included plastic hood. Apart from that, the lens just feels sturdy while remaining compact and light-weight. AF is very fast and virtually silent. Sharpness is generally high. Image distortion and lateral CAs are well controlled. The vignetting is a bit steep at f/2, though. Autocorrection takes care of that to a good part. Bokeh is ok, but not great. However many wide-angle lenses struggle in this regard. In summary, the lens still delivers a solid performance. However, watch out for sample variations.
