Designed to be discreet

Consisting of seven elements in five groups, measuring just .9in (23mm) deep, and weighing just 2.9oz (84g), XF27mmF2.8 R WR’s combination of quality and portability is perfect for the street photographers and everyday creators documenting the day-to-day experiences that make life so special. Such remarkably discreet design and stunning optical performance ensures that, while the lens itself may not get noticed, the pictures you make certainly will.

A Different Point of View

Traditionally the 23mm focal length is said to be similar to the field of view of the human eye, while 35mm is said to give the most natural depth perspective. 27mm lies between these two iconic focal lengths and shares a little of the characteristics from both, allowing this lens to cover a huge variety of genres and styles, from action-packed, everyday snapshots and creative street photography, to angular architectural scenes and sprawling landscapes.

Complete Creative Control

Externally control your aperture, even when the camera is switched off and be ready to frame fleeting moments with XF27mmF2.8 R WR’s newly designed aperture ring. Stay discreet and remain completely immersed at the moment and use the new aperture lock button to keep the lens set to Auto, while you’re letting the camera do the work. Create with complete and total confidence with XF27mmF2.8 R WR at your side.
