Pros: Sharpness, compactness, autofocus

Cons: For me no one

Opinion: Of the Fujichron triad (23, 35, 50) this is the only one I kept. It is practically welded to the XT1 with which I enjoy photographing every time. Recommended for its compactness and the possibility of really shooting with one hand, if the need arises. I also have the older brother f/1.4 not WR with which I have much less fun but which I am fond of and which I will not sell. In terms of IQ, with the same apertures, the difference between the two is there, of course, but to be honest I see it more on the screen than in print: up to 20x30 they are indistinguishable. Nevertheless, this f/2 kept at f/2.8 or f/4, DR400, ISO 640 and on the road with the XT1 I focus only on composition and focus. A real workhorse. I've never used it at night: as a result I use the older brother f/1.4 on XT4, cum summo gaudio.

Pros: Size, brightness, autofocus speed

Cons: price?

Opinion: It is a really small but solid and well-made goal. I recently fell on the asphalt and apart from a scratch on a ring nut nothing happened... I am not able to give a well-reasoned technical judgment, but I can speak to the purpose of this lens. I left the 18-55 zoom to learn to focus more on the composition and I must say that I don't regret the zoom at all even if I had a hard time making the choice. It seems to me a really all-rounder focal length, very fast and safe focusing. Focusing in manual seems absolutely feasible to me while with the zooms in my possession (18-55 and 55-200) it is not easy, perhaps it is because of the greater aperture...

Pros: easy handling, overall performance, competitive price.

Cons: Lens hood: Match one of aftermarket metal and you're good to go.

Opinion: When at the beginning Fuji only made the 1.4 version which for my desires is too heavy and bulky on the XE series, but there was the x100 with the f/2; I thought it would be nice if Fuji made a version like that. Six months later he heard me. I immediately took it second-hand, untouched. I equipped it with a nice aluminum petal as a lens hood and which also acts as a bumper. I seem to have a summicron autofocus for the cost of a Leitz lens hood! I took most of the photos set, naked, etc. They say it suffers from sharpness at close range, I didn't notice it, although I have now switched to a 40Mp sensor. In short, a small all-rounder at a very honest price.

Pros: all

Cons: Maybe the lens hood

Opinion: I've been using it for 5 years now and it's the only lens I've never sold. It is practically always glued to the xpro1, light, tropicalized and sharp enough. Precise and quiet AF. Let's come to the lens hood, well I find it "strange" and I don't even know if it really works. The only thing that is certain is that I don't find compact alternatives and so I always leave him attached hoping he does his job well. Together with the 14mm they are a fantastic pair. Vote 10.

Pros: Light, sharp, tropicalized

Cons: Distortion.

Opinion: Purchased, used and sold: the desired feeling was not born even if I normally do street; I preferred the 27mm f.2.8 and the 35 f.2 to this lens. The first mounted on the XE3 gives the camera the size of a compact as well as offering exceptional optical quality for the price paid (€.150,00 c.a.); the second on XT30 II is a magnificent all-rounder, at least for my use. Returning to the 23mm I confirm the build quality, sharpness and precision of the autofocus; but the distortion... The lens hood that everyone complains about did not bother me at all; but it can be easily replaced.
