The Fujinon XF 23mm f/1.4 R LM WR is a wide-angle prime lens designed for Fujifilm’s X-Mount cameras. With a 23 mm focal length (equivalent to roughly 35 mm on full-frame systems) and a maximum f/1.4 aperture, it sits in a classic focal range often used for street, documentary, landscape, and general-purpose photography.
