Fujifilm X-E5 and XF 23mm f2 8 R WR First Impressions Camera and Lens Review

Another new camera (and lens!) from Fujifilm - the X-E5 and the XF 23mm f2.8 R WR. This the 13th camera that Fujfilm has introduced since July 2022 when the X-H2S was the first camera announce in the fifth generation of Fujifilm cameras.

Disclaimers: the camera and lens I had access to was pre-production, with pre-production firmware. I had access to the cameras for a little less than a week as part of my work as social media manager at Kenmore Camera.

Please let me know if you have any questions on the X-E5 or the XF 23mm f2.8 R WR in the comments below. Also, love to hear your opinions on this new camera and lens.

*** UPDATE *** Shipping date for the X-E5 Body and Kit with XF 23mm F2.8 R WR is August 28, 2025. Shipping date for the XF 23mm f2.8 R WR is December 11, 2025.
