The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.  | sent on October 08, 2022 Pros: Wr, fast, holds well in his hand. It gives an idea of greater solidity than the 18 f2, diaphragm ring. Lens hood. Aesthetically beautiful on the xpro series Cons: Different rendering of the f1.4 old series, not really a cons. Opinion: I would call it a pleasant surprise. At the beginning of my fujifilm adventure I had tried one that, in hindsight, I think had failed. My fixed wide angle was an 18 f2, which I initially reluctantly exchanged with the 23 f2 for a summer vacation in maritime places. So I would have felt safer with a wr lens. The 18 f2 in fact in addition to not having the wr gasket, has an external focus which makes it become a vacuum cleaner even under normal conditions. To my surprise I fell in love with this little fixed. The different yield is not a lack, since I have this yield on the 35 f1.4. The two are not even as close as you believe, especially in the set portraiture, has particularities of fov that allows you to use them both, without feeling that you are overlapping anything. I read around, among other things, that the 23 f2 has a wider angle of view, in fact the difference with the 18 is minimal. My copy, evidently good, is quite sharp even at close ranges. At full aperture it shows softness about 40 cm away. Not a real problem in practice. The saturated colors go very well with the classic negative and for black and white I prefer it to the 18 f2. Until you try the focus speed of the f2 wr lenses, you don't realize. This makes even old optics perfectly usable, especially on new bodies. However, even before the speed, the accuracy of the fire is the one that struck me the most. It has less microcontrast than the 18, but it has enough to be appreciable. I'm glad I liked it: fast autofocus, wr, solidity and perfectly friction bezel. I wanted so much to like it and so it was. My new street optics |
  | sent on June 09, 2022 Pros: Colors , sharpness , silent , af , minimum distance , light , tropicalized , angle of view Cons: Nobody Opinion: Excellent lens for videos and reportage, very functional, light and tropicalized, offers much more saturated colors than Fuji's 23 1.4 with a smaller minimum distance, on a focal length equivalent to 35 mm on apsc you do not look for the detachment of the planes, as even a 1.4 would be a 35 f2.2, which is relatively useless in the portrait if we consider some important factors taking as a reference ff the sigma art 35 mm f 1.2. So on apsc ML is perfect and as the guy of pro mirrorless reviews in comparison with L 1.4 , this f2 wins big for general yield if you do not pay attention to the only image quality that differs slightly for sharpness with an advantage on colors by the f2 that you can also find looking at the galleries . Now I have accompanied my xt1 with the 16 2.8 wr, the 23 wr f 2 and the 50 wr f1, with a total tropicalization without more problems of dust deposits on the front lenses, while my xs10 will be fixed with this 23 f2 for video and street / reportage. |
 | sent on October 22, 2021 Pros: Af, wr, size Cons: lack of personality Opinion: On paper it could be the perfect goal. Focal length equivalent of 35mm (great for everything). Sniper autofocus: precise, fast and very quiet. Tropicalized and robust construction. Compact size. Excellent colors. At maximum opening it is a bit soft but at more closed apertures it improves considerably, revealing a decidedly good yield both in the center and at the edges. Yet, despite these merits, the feeling did not click. I can't describe why. If I wanted to use a phrase made I would not find better than to call it devoid of personality. In practice it is a beautiful soulless, devoid of that "character" that, like many other Fuji, would have been legitimate to expect. |
 | sent on March 27, 2021 Pros: sharpness all over the frame, well built, good focus ring Cons: aesthetics, stupid lampshed, doesn't have much "magic" Opinion: it's a nice lens that would be a 35mm ff. you do a little bit of everything and it's sharp. It doesn't have much magic in yield as maybe you can have with a nikon lens or sigma art but it's good for street and vacation shots. it's an f2 and it's also sharp at f2 but you don't expect to blur the background unless you photograph an object at close range. It's a lens that does its duty without giving you too much emotion... the lampshed is to be thrown from the bucket directly |
 | sent on March 20, 2020 Pros: Toughness, silence, general surrender Cons: Nobody Opinion: Remarkable lens, of those to have almost always mounted, light but robust, Silent And ready Autofocus. It vignettes a little at full opening but already at 2.8 the problem is solved. It is a 35 mm so very suitable in the reportage. I tested it well with version 1.4 but in the end I preferred the 2 because it seems perfect for this focal, the brightness 1.4 I chose it for the 35 where the blur becomes even more decisive for a good yield. What to add except that the fuji optical park really surprised me positively in almost every focal point. |
  | sent on January 31, 2020 Pros: Light, unwieldy, fast, quiet, solid Cons: Nobody Opinion: It replaces 90% of my 18-55mm because it has a higher yield and is brighter. Knowing the characteristics of this lens, I usually shoot from f2.8 to f11 and the yield is always good. It's definitely not at the level of 23mm f1.4, as image quality, but it costs half. Given the weight and size, you don't even realize you have it. To the touch it is very pleasant and the diaphragm diaphragm, as a quality, makes me go in jug broth. |
 | sent on December 24, 2019 Pros: Fast, mini, tropicalized, colors Cons: Flat yield Opinion: It has many qualities but only one big flaw, the flat rendering. It seems to lack microcontrast, the sharpness is there sufficiently and well distributed on the frame, without excelling, but it lacks that "hard outline" of Fuji lenses, that sharp and three-dimensional yield that have the 14, 35, 50, 90, 16-55 and other lenses of the X system, The good thing is that it is in high demand in the second-hand market, I have no regrets about it at all. The 18 for example is much more "alive" and manages to better detach the subjects despite the same diaphragm and the minor focal, I hoped that the 23 was suitable for the landscapes but I found it poor even on the distance. |
 | sent on June 10, 2019 Pros: Autofocus, Tropicalization Cons: Low distance rendering, vignetting and low sharpness at open diaphragms Opinion: Taken to replace the excellent 27 f/2.8 But if I could I would go back on my steps. It is really unusable at the slightest distance and the widest openings. It is true that it is a lens designed for street, but from a fixed 23 F2 I expected a rendition from good handyman, also seen what it costs. I do not recommend, especially if you already have a 18-55 in the kit and believe with this lens to make a leap of quality. |
 | sent on April 21, 2019 Pros: Compact Dimensions, Fast and silent AF, chromatic rendering, sharpness (from f/2.8 to F/8) Cons: Up to F/2.8 vignette and is not particularly sharp, uncomfortable and plasticous lens hood, high price for non-stabilised optics Opinion: I use it in combination with X-T30, in general I am satisfied with the yield, a little less than the value for money. Neither the machine body nor the lens are stabilised, the hood is a plastic ring that needs to be removed to assemble or remove the front cap (nuisance!). For the rest, as stated in the ' pros ', the yield is excellent from f/2.8 onwards, beautiful colors, sharpness and blur, AF fast, precise and quiet, it is also compact and light. At full aperture is not particularly engraved and vignette a bit, but the thing is manageable in P.P. Rated 8 |
 | sent on March 02, 2019 Pros: compactness, build quality, good chromatic rendering, quality of the blurred, AF lightning and really quiet, weather sealed Cons: Vignetting at TA, slight loss of sharpness at TA edges, plastic lens hood Opinion: A really inevitable lens in any outfit worthy of the name. Light and well assembled, tropicalization of all respect and an extremely silent autofocus. The 35mm equivalent focal length makes it perfect for reportage. Therefore a perfect travel optics, ideal for set portraits, architectures and landscaping. Surely the Big Brother F 1.4 is higher but it costs and weighs twice as much. A TA is present a certain vignetting, barely perceptible to f2.8 and completely disappeared at F4 same speech for AC and sharpness at the edges. I conclude by recommending to those who want a handyman light, well built and cheap! |
 | sent on December 04, 2018 Pros: Size, AF speed, tropicalized, price, image quality Cons: None at the proposed price. Opinion: Bought in kit with my X-E3, it's a terrific lens. Small and really good bill. You perceive all the quality Fujifilm. In the field is really a bomb. Precise, fast and zero noise. For those who do street I think is a mandatory lens to have in their outfit. In the portrait set is really good, fantastic image quality and really exceptional colors. For those who make photography their work, maybe I recommend the XF 23 F/1.4 But for an amateur even the little brother F2 goes great. Thanks Fujifilm for this well of God! |
user72446  | sent on May 14, 2018 Pros: Sharpness, build quality, speed, transportability Cons: Nobody Opinion: Sharp, fast, flush to perfection. A fixed handyman suitable for every situation: from the portrait set ' ' Soft ' ' to F2, up to the clear landscape to F9 or more. I find that the construction quality is of fine workmanship, the aperture ring very fluid to the touch, small enough to sleep always behind.... I dare say that it could also be the only lens for a minimal travel kit. Af Lightning in every situation, even low light. A perspective that you can not miss in your kit. |
| sent on February 18, 2018 Pros: Lightweight, construction, quality lenses, speed af, minimum diaphragm, color rendering Cons: Not found Opinion: Objective designed for ml, built according to perfect construction standards. A fast 35 eq very good to perform the required functions. From a 35 mm you expect excellent sharpness and lightning fast quality, must capture the street and the portrait set, should not have distortion, must be light to keep it mounted hours and hours. At f2 is considered "soft" ... what to say it seems a very sensible choice because it improves the quality of the portrait by not highlighting any imperfection and making the bokeh more pleasant, which for me, on a 35mm eq is not the first thing I go to see (I would do a lot more on 50 eq or even 80 and 135 eq). I think it's the most centered of the f2 wr series! It is already also tropicalized that never hurts !! I said the most centered because the 35 f2 still perfect for the street but with less breath if the fight with the 1.4 1.4 that is used at a similar price and that already makes you want more to get a portrait bokeh and costs much less than the 56 f1.2 that used è a new white unicorn costs a nice sum. The 50 f2 I find a length that is strange in the sense that it is not enough canvas (see 90), can not compete with 56mm and I think therefore has less market, but perhaps it is my personal opinion (I would choose only to combine with 23 if I had to make an extremely hard trip to have lightness and tropicalization). So after this digression on the family f2 23mm should be taken without thoughts and what you save by not taking f1.4 reinvested in 35 1.4 (which costs less than the homologue 23mm) or in any other perspective you fall in love! Consider also the vintage that of 50mm there are many |
 | sent on January 05, 2018 Pros: Quality to the touch, WR, made in general, aperture ring Cons: Hood and plug Opinion: I used it before on xt10, now on xt1, thus having all tropicalized .... the lens is tiny but with excellent performance .... clear enough already at f2.0, in the middle, improves closing the diaphragm, like any lens At the touch it is very light but sturdy, all in metal, and the aperture ring that has no infinite travel (like 18 55 or 18 135) is very comfortable and soft, maybe a minimum trope for my taste, but still fantastic .rnEro undecided between 23 and 35, but I found myself better with the equivalent 35mm ...... beautiful lens, very recommended ... could also be the only lens of my kit fuji. Last thing: the hood is quite ridiculous, too small, and the cap can also be put with the hood, but takes off with an impressive ease, which happens even when you put it directly on the lens, this is the only flaw ... |
 | sent on November 23, 2017 Pros: light and compact, WR, fast and silent AF Cons: hood Opinion: Excellent "handyman" fixed lens, light and practical, fast AF. It 'sa goal that I use with great satisfaction, I can always bring the machine with me given the small footprint and ease of use. Slightly soft at f2.0, but just close a stop for excellent results in terms of sharpness. One only negative note, but really not very important, the lens hood. With the lens hood mounted, you can not remove and put the cap on the lens. |
 | sent on November 13, 2017 Pros: Sharp, metal construction, weather resistant, lightning strike, blur Cons: maybe the haze ... maybe. Opinion: Bought recently and I find it delicious.rnMi by three-dimensionality, blurry, lightning-fast, sharp. I come from reflex d7100 with 24-70 2.8, without turning around, I find it much better with the mirrorless, even faster than I was used to (I'm sorry to have heard for so long, various opinions of people who did not want me to pass a mirrorless) The lens is solid and compact, it is light and small. They are very pleased with the purchase, the fact that it is tropicalized is something to be underestimated, for me it passes with vows. |
 | sent on October 16, 2017 Pros: Construction, Weather sealing, AF Cons: Nobody Opinion: Expensive optics that for street and portrait gives great satisfaction. Impeccable construction. Incredible to absurd levels already from f / 2.8. The manual ring has a very interesting mechanical feel. By shooting in the hyperfocal af / 8 from the excellent results but you have to admit that on PRO bodies there is almost no reaction time with the AF so as to render the Manual, Back switch step incredibly simple. Highly recommended in combination with tropicalized bodies such as X-Pro2 and X-T2. |
 | sent on December 23, 2016 Pros: solid construction, af fast and accurate, clear, nice bokeh. Cons: At close distances, and a little 'morbito wide open. Opinion: very good flawless construction optical beautiful to see and to use but does not compare to his older brother as iq. I am still testing to know it better .... As the focal find interesting bokeh is good but not exceptional course is just f 2. For now, the advice when the testero best I can give a more complete judgment. |
user110348 | sent on December 22, 2016 Pros: Lightweight, constructed of metal, solid, durable, good looking, Af fast, fair price. Cons: Nothing for now Opinion: I come from aps-c nikon, with a pair of fixed 1,4..manca certainly the speed of autofocus SLR cameras, but this view is gorgeous, fast, lightweight, precise, beautiful to look at, all-metal, for now makes me regret the SLR, the blurred is very pleasant, very well built and solida.rnLa'm testing, there have only a couple of days, however promising. |
 | sent on November 16, 2016 Pros: Incidentally. Compact and lightweight with MAF fast and precise. Silent. Aperture ring more friction, Fuji finally !! Cons: No one is used to that for which it was designed. Opinion: First impressions: light, compact and discreet with MAF fast, quiet and accurate. Excellent etching if diaphragmed a minimum. Blurred good at TA to be a 23 f / 2 of APS-c. Compared to version 1.4 are different colors, a bit more saturated on this f2, softer and "old style" the 1.4. Born as a lens reportage and as such should be used ... because unbeatable. I heard people complaining of blurred ... I have to laugh in front of those who expect a 23 f / 2 bokeh a 85 on full frame. Compared to 1.4 the aperture ring is a little more friction, Fuji finally! excellent tactile feedback ... has nothing to do with photography, but the construction of this 23, like other optical Fuji, transmits far more positive feelings than even plasticotti rank much higher in other brands (Nikon true ?? ). Now I'll put it on the ropes for good, then I will update this my first impressions. |
 | sent on November 02, 2016 Pros: ..Solido, Incidentally, lightweight, silent, fluid, all that can please a street photographer .. Cons: For now I do not know, maybe the lens hood does not have that "certain something" that enhances the estretica optics of this kind ... Opinion: ... Taken the morning in the center of Florence, in the afternoon I immediately put under pressure. Well, as a solid feel and quiet operation is very similar to the 35 f2.rn Even in practice it has proved a stunning optics. Fuji has accustomed us to these results and never disappoints, a resolution that I always believe that they were taken with a full frame, even at times in certain lighting conditions (in my opinion) even better. Combined with my XE2, with optional lens hood (type leica) you around ports a lightweight tool, but always ready to capture moments citizens with its silent and sizes. recommended optical products, DO NOT MISS .... rn |
 | sent on November 02, 2016 Pros: Lightweight, focheggia quickly, solid, engraved Cons: Maluccio for close-ups at full aperture Opinion: I've made some hundreds of shots and I'm happy. The object 'engraved and very nice colors (not too saturated but'). Focheggia very quickly and you will not even notice - no noise. Head and shoulders above the 23 that mounts the x100t I had. And 'solid and I really like the opportunity to correct the focus manually. On xpro 2 it seems to go to the wedding. I really like this focal for the street. 35 I have not used but generally I do not like "50mm" 35mm equivalent: I find them too "canvases." |
