Opinion:I bought it used about a month ago and have never taken it off my X-T3. I replaced it with the Sigma 18-50 f/2.8 and haven't regretted it. I prefer prime lenses. Equivalent to 35mm on F.F. It's my first Fuji lens with an aperture ring and it's a real pleasure to feel the softness of the clicks in my fingers. Truly quiet and reliable autofocus. Ideal focal length for street photography. Top sharpness and very good color rendering. Slightly contrasted but who knows. This f/2 series for me is perfect for my way of photographing. Next up will be the 16mm f/2.8 and the 35mm f/2. Rated 9. I don't give the 10 for the lens hood. I recommend it.
Opinion:Since I bought it I think I used it for 80% of the photos I took. For the quality but also for the varsatity of the focal length and for the manageability. I often go out with only camera and 23mm, I almost never regret it. Of course there are better goals, but with greater price and weight. You will have understood that I am very happy
Opinion:I took it as a handyman, to keep mounted on the X-T3, but especially X-E4, when I go out only with a lens, and for some portrait set without spending an eye for the 1.4. The yield in the center and edges is good up to f / 5.6, where it gains a lot compared to the larger apertures. AF fast and precise, tropicalized, robust, I do not find defects apart from a sharpness not scary to the major apertures (not serious, and 'still better than the excellent 18-55) and the hood, really ugly (but put a nice kind like those squarehood and pay 30 euros more' no?). I also like the "mood" of the images, certainly more than the 16mm f2.8, although certainly far from the 35 f1.4.
Pros:dimensions, weight, metal barrel, fast af, quiet, tropicalized, ring nuts
Cons:Drop sharpness below 0.5m, soft with open diaphragms, barrel shape, original horrendous and uncomfortable hood.
Opinion:The lens has a microcontrast and color saturation more accentuated than the previous 23 1.4 old, for this reason sometimes the photos can appear too hard and with less personality. But in my opinion perfect for the Xpro system, where it is chosen precisely because of its characteristics, it also does not clash with the OVF viewfinder. As for the aesthetics of the really horrible optics the conical shape, as well as its silly hood (replaced with squarehood), the aperture rings have a perfect shot compared to previous versions. The focus is lightning fast and super quiet, so quiet that you have to stay focused on the focus indicator to understand if it has hooked the subject. The optics are very soft at TA and on subjects below half a meter. It resists flare well and is very correct in general management, but this last point we know is also thanks to the software in the car. Those who choose it know what they want, it is a lens for far street, clearly superior in quality compared to an X100V.

Pros:Lightweight optics, metal construction, very responsive and precise AF, excellent mechanical rings, great for X-Pro optical viewfinder, dust and moisture seals.
Cons:You have to get used to aesthetics, softness on medium and close distances.
Opinion:Tried the Fuji 23 2.0. Pros: excellent impression built in an excellent way with perfect mechanical rings, the AF very precise and fast, small and compact I find it ideal for travel or mountain and reportage, excellent for the viewfinder OVF X-Pro despite small hood mounted I would say excellent, also excellent behavior held with side light. Cons: aesthetics not beautiful but agree for the optical viewfinder X-Pro otherwise you always see a part of the optics, made all aperture suffers slightly aberrations and a slight softness but normal for an optics indeed I would say still very acceptable when closing diaphragm recovery very fast. A perspective that reading various comments left me very perplexed? I do not know about my pair certain defects not found but maybe they are qualitative variation pairs however not or controlled distances very close for the reason I do not use these focal length at very close distances. Agree on the new 23 1.4 WR we are on other levels at the large apertures but you pay with dobbio size and weight and also price practically double closing diaphragm always difficult to find differences between the fixed lenses so for me always ideal these small size lenses when I want to travel light and not or need to do night reportage otherwise I recommend the new lenses 18 1.4 or the 23 1.4 WR Fujifilm.
