Fujifilm XF 23mm f/1.4 R LM WR
The XF 23mm f/1.4 R LM WR is the classic 35mm-equivalent fast prime for X, a weather-resistant, linear-motor reportage lens at 375g in the enthusiast tier. It's built for street and documentary shooters who want speed and reliable AF. There's no OIS, so pair it with an IBIS body for handheld video, and reach for the XF 33 or 56 when you want tighter portrait framing.
