I have all three of the new f/2 WR series and they are all awesome. Small, light, sharp and fast. With the converted 35mm you have the perfect reportage focal length which makes them suitable for many different subjects.

An ideal lens: small, splash-proof, stable, fast, easy to use and as far as I can tell - very good image quality. The fact that the lens cap can be placed on the sun visor is ideal. Thanks to the small lens diameter, filters are also affordable. They also fit on the 35mm f2 thanks to the same diameter. I use this lens a lot. If I need/want to save weight, the 23mm comes with it. I need 23mm (35mm 35mm) the most.

Super lens, meets / exceeds expectations. On a trip to the mountains I took pictures only with this lens. Can also be used for portraits (note the horizon). Street photography and in darker rooms excellent quality. With moderate ISO value, short exposure times achieved.

Not much to say! This lens is just great! Lightweight tropicalized and the optical quality is superb!

Have the lens only 2 weeks, but am already thrilled! Be it the build quality, image quality and the focal length itself. In addition, it is small and handy, perfect for any trip or street photography.
Negative but dependent on the design is the vignetting, but this is only noticeable in RAW, can of course be fixed with the appropriate program.

Sensational lens! I use the lens in combination with the Fuji X-Pro 2 for reportage and street photography. The small size and the high-quality workmanship of the lens make it the perfect companion when you are on the road for a longer time. The image quality is top and the AF is very fast and precise even in low light conditions.

Small, light and qualitative!
A fixed focal length of very good quality, which allows to open wider than the kit zoom (F/2). The fixed focal length allows to have a nice quality image and to focus on the other parameters of the lens and the associated camera.
Great combination together with the XT-20 or XT-30 if you are looking for a small, compact package without sacrificing image quality. Recommended for street and travel.
Good lens for the price. Sometimes I like it even better than the XF 23mm f/1.4 - simply because it is smaller, lighter, less complicated and waterproof.

Nice and light. Autofocus doesn't convince me so much with my copy. It's fast but not that precise. Sharpness is good, but worse compared to the 18-55mm. Still, it's kind of fun to walk around with it. I didn't regret buying it but I don't think it's for sharpness fanatics.

Absolute favourite lens!
The 23mm f2 is always with me.

The product is very good, but..... unfortunately my lens did not come with a Swiss guarantee, and according to enquiries digitec has various suppliers, including those without a Swiss guarantee. This means that the lens is also cheaper to buy from other online shops!
For the first time, I am disappointed as a long-standing digitec customer. This misstatement is unforgivable and has not yet been corrected on the homepage. (As of 1 December 2023)

Very good compromise between shooting angle possibilities and depth of field. It's weatherproof and small, so it's great for travel photography. Portraits come out quite well for most users. (Not quite on the level of XF 35mm).
Also bought the Fujifilm Fujinon XF 16mm F/2.8 R WR: If I could only choose one, I would now recommend the XF 23mm.

A good but not perfect lens. A better lens hood can be found at JCC (LH-JXF35C Silver Hood).
