FUJINON XF23mmF2.8 R WR
–A new 23mm focal length lens with high resolution and ultra-compact and lightweight at 90g is now available.
–A high-performance, compact partner that you’ll want to take with you wherever you go.
FUJIFILM Corporation announces the launch of the “FUJINON Lens XF23mmF2.8 R WR” (XF23mmF2.8 R WR) as part of the “XF Lens” lineup for the X Series of mirrorless digital cameras, which are renowned for their compact and lightweight design and outstanding image quality delivered with Fujifilm’s proprietary color reproduction technology.
The XF23mmF2.8 R WR is an ultra-compact and lightweight lens with an easy-to-use focal length of 23mm (equivalent to 35mm in 35mm format), an overall length of only 23mm*1 and a weight of approximately 90g. While achieving high resolution performance compatible with the approximately 40.2 megapixel “X-Trans™ CMOS 5 HR” *2sensor, the ultra-compact size was achieved by using the latest lens processing technology to make the lens thinner and by slimming down the exterior and structural parts to the absolute minimum. The lens is versatile enough to handle standard, wide-angle, close-up, and various other types of photography with a single lens, while at the same time offering high operability and toughness, providing a high image quality photographic experience with ease in all situations, including snapshots, travel, portrait, landscape photography, and table photography. Its high portability and versatility make it a lens you will always want to carry with you.

FUJIFILM X-E5 mirrorless digital camera
The first in the X series to feature a top-plate crafted solely from machined aluminum
Enhancing the joy of photography with immersive features and intuitive operations
June 12, 2025
FUJIFILM Corporation announces the global launch of the “FUJIFILM X-E5” (X-E5). The X-E5 will be the latest model in the X Series, offering outstanding image quality, compact and lightweight body.
The X-E5 is a lightweight and compact mirrorless digital camera, weighing approximately 445g*1, equipped with the back-illuminated 40.2 megapixel “X-Trans™ CMOS 5 HR”*2 sensor and the “X-Processor 5” high-speed image processing engine. X-E5 is the first in the camera series that features a powerful five-axis IBIS mechanism offering up to 7.0 stops in the center and 6.0 stops at the periphery*3. This makes it an effortless,” daily carry” that remains adaptable to the most challenging scenarios.
For the first time in the X series, the camera features a top-plate crafted solely from machined aluminum. By combining sharp, flat edges with carefully curved surfaces, the top-plate delivers a smooth metallic texture and a high sense of rigidity, offering a premium feel when holding the camera. The new “Classic Display” mode*4 provides a clean viewfinder image with key information at the bottom of the frame. Combined with a body style that allows you to operate the dials and the lever with one hand, you can immerse yourself in image making with the camera to your eye.
The X-E5 retains the classic style of the X series while embodying an innovative design that pursues elegance. It is equipped with features and operability that inspire the joy of photography. Catering to a wide range of users, from photography enthusiasts to those using a digital camera for the first time, this camera offers the delight of owning a sophisticated tool and the excitement of immersing oneself in the world of photography.

Fujifilm’s latest teaser, released just before the official announcement tomorrow at 5 am, provides a detailed look at the film simulation window that we first learned about the other day. We also get confirmation that all the expected dials will be on the lens and that the new 23mm pancake will be f/2.8. The Fujifilm X-E5 is going to be a good-looking camera, but the price is going to be very hard to swallow, especially since you can buy an X-T5 for the same price.
When mirrorless cameras first started coming out, rangefinder styling was popular, but mirrorless cameras adopted SLR styling for flagship cameras in order to help photographers transition from their SLR to a mirrorless camera system. If the Fujifilm X-E5 sells better than the X-T5 it could be the beginning of the end of SLR styling, which I wouldn’t mind, but I wish the X-E5 were coming with weather sealing and something to make it more attractive to X-T5 owners.

Profoto unveils the B20 and B30 – Refined to perfection
Profoto is proud to introduce the Profoto B20 and B30, the latest advancements in its industry-leading compact flash series. Building upon the trusted foundation of the B10-range, these new flashes bring faster performance, a class-leading powerful LED, and greater versatility to photographers and content creators worldwide.
Designed for professionals who demand reliability in any environment, the B20 and B30 are built to endure. Their sturdiness and rubberized surface ensure a secure grip and long-lasting durability, even when using the heaviest modifiers. “Regardless of location, these flashes are ready for any creative challenge” says Göran Marén, Product Manager at Profoto.
With a 13% faster recycle time than the B10Xs’, photographers will never miss a critical moment. The new user-replaceable flash tube allows for seamless on-set swaps, keeping workflows smooth and uninterrupted. A wide power range provides unmatched creative flexibility, from subtle fill light to powerful illumination.
To further enhance adaptability, the B20 and B30 introduce three flash modes: There are three flash modes: ECO for increased equipment lifetime, Boost for a little extra power, and Freeze for the shortest flash duration and elimination of motion blur.
For hybrid photo and video professionals, the built-in bi-color LED now boasts 50% more output than its predecessors, offering an improved continuous light source for video shoots, live streaming, and on-location setups.
With Profoto’s renowned Light Shaping System, you have over 120 modifiers and accessories to turn your creative vision into reality. The B20’s and B30’ features the renowned and intuitive Profoto UI, which practically eliminates dealing with cumbersome technical settings.
“As with all Profoto products, the B20 and B30 are engineered with premium components and meticulous attention to detail, ensuring unmatched reliability and consistent color accuracy. With unrivaled reliability, speed, and precision, these flashes are built to work as hard as photographers do,” concludes Göran Marén, Product Manager at Profoto.
