Fujifilm X-H2 | Fujifilm XF 23mm F2.8 R WR | F5.6 | 1/500sec | ISO 125Photo: Mitchell Clark This week, Fujifilm announced the XF 23mm F2.8 R WR, a pancake lens that provides the 35mm equiv. field of view loved by street photographers without a ton of bulk. It's being launched alongside the X-E5 as a kit lens (and our sample gallery for that camera also includes several photos taken with it), but it'll be for sale separately later this year. We got to spend some time with a pre-production copy, and the samples should provide an idea of how it performs. The images shown in the gallery were processed using our standard Capture One workflow.
