I just purchase the Fuji X-T2 with this lens, and I am blown away by its sharpness. Here is an image I shot handheld 23mm, F2.0, 800 ISO, 1/40 second on the X-T2. The image has edge to edge sharpness. Its just as good as my Canon L lenses for much less money.

I am a fuji shooter, although I love my G85 for other reasons. I have several fuji primes but the 56 1.2 most buy is most likely my choice if the prices were the same however my personal opinion is that the 50mm f2 gives a more ageless bokeh.

This is my second copy of the 35/2 WR, and I've shot extensively with the older and pricier 35/1.4 as well. I can only say that both copies of the WR have been beautifully sharp and very well made. The lens is light, weather sealed, and feels great on the camera (currently shooting an X-E3).

A joy to use which adds very little weight to the camera body. Pin sharp from f2 up and super fast autofocus though manual focus is also excellent. Colour rendition and contrast what one would expect from Fuji.

Great Picture Quality; Lightweight; Simple Controls

I'm able to accomplish amazing things with just this one lens. The sharpness, rendering, and color delivered by this lens is something to behold. Distortion is very well controlled as well.

The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 23mm F1.4 R ($889) is a lens for photographers who crave images with a shallow depth of field, as well as those who want to gather the most light possible for sharper photos in dim conditions. It captures sharp images, even when paired with a modern 24MP image sensor, and has a focus clutch for photographers who prefer manual focus. It's not weather sealed, like Fujifilm's less expensive, smaller Fujinon XF 23mm F2 R WR, but an f/2 doesn't quite blur out backgrounds like an f/1.4. Both editions of the XF 23mm earn our Editors' Choice—the 23mm F2 for budget-minded, outdoor photographers who value a light design and weather sealing, and the 23mm F1.4 for those who crave the most background blur. Design: Real, Physical Controls The XF 23mm F1.4 R ($899.00 at Amazon) is one of the larger prime lenses for the X mirrorless system. It measures 2.8 by 2.5 inches (HW), weighs 10.6 ounces, and supports 62mm front filters. It's certainly bigger than the XF 23mm F2 (2....

The premium wide-angle lens designed to maximize the performance of the Fujifilm X-Trans CMOS sensor for the highest picture quality. With a focal length equivalent to 35mm*, the lens is suitable for a wide range of applications including portraits and landscapes as well as more general photography.

Although this wasn't a lens that I was in real need of - I already had a 35mm f1.4, but because I've heard so many rave reviews of this lens I decided to give it a go. I can confirm that this lens is absolutely superb on my X-T1.

23mm f2 lens is a perfect street and landscape lens! Love it

+ Small and practical to carry; + Lightweight; + Robustly made; + Satisfying to use; + Delivers great results

More expensive than the XF 23mm f/2 R WR and XF 35mm f/2 WR; Bokeh isn't as dreamy as the XF 56mm f/1.2 R or XF 56mm f/1.2 APD ASPH
