Yes, this is a good lens… the worst Fuji XF lens is probably the 16-80 mm… horrible bokeh, and primarily sharp to the point of being a bit clinical… a testament as to why sharpness is not the only criteria for a lens to be great…The hardest to use XF lens is probably the 56 mm APD (f 1.2 or 1.4, I don’t remember exactly… because it’s so slow to focus, it’s a challenge to use… but when it achieves focus… ohh man, that swirly bokeh and drop-off vignette!
Love your photography. Nice work.

Fantastic review bro! I'm really glad that I have this lens in my bag. Your first review for 23mm helps me to make decison to get one before my trip this summer. I made some great shots with it. Thanks bro! I really enjoy shooting with this lens. The lens has it's own character, output is really nice, very contrasty and the colors are very rich. It is little bit warmer compared to my 35mm f2 and 50mm f2 but I acftually like that. And it is very sharp wide open, at least my copy. Softness is only issue when I shoot ~25cm from subject at f2, but I never shoot that way with it... It has little bit more purple CA than my other fujicrons but is easy to fix in LR. Nothing to worry about. Indeed one of the best lenses for travel and street photography.

I stopped looking at reviews that do not come with talent and you are one of the ones I am suscribed to. Thanks for making reviews and show what the gear can really do. It really makes a difference and gives an idea of what a lens can archieve. I do not really care how sharp a lens is on the corners on a non fullfilling image… i do care if the lens can bring emotion & character to the image. It makes a whole of a difference. Thank you for the effort. I am curious what you could do with a lens like the rokinon 12 or a less inspirong lens like a zoom lens, perhaps the sigma that try to do many things at the same time but does not excel at nothing… would love to see a review of those coming from you…
I love the 35mm f1.4 option and taking the 23 f2 just in case of (needing of wider, rain, etc)

Yeah bro. FUJIfilm has a sponsorship for KZreadrs to throw lenses up in the air and they get a good solid $1-$5 per flip on the first day of release only. This is to promote the durability of the lens. Eren made $892 in this first video.
Nice images! A 23mm f/2 lens came with a Fuji X-Pro2 graphite mirrorless that I purchased. Since I already had a Fuji 23mm f/1.4, I planned on selling the f/2 as soon as possible. However, I decided to try it before I sold it. Big mistake because I fell in love with the little lens. I now own and use both 23mm Fuji lenses. I primarily use the f/1.4 for photojournalism, documentary, low-light, and weddings. I primarily use the f/2 for street, landscapes, and vacation/travel. I use both for infrared photography.

@@jahmalbaptiste9915 I do use the 23mm f/1.4 for dim light street photography. However, since most of my street photography is performed during daylight, I prefer to use the smaller and lighter 23mm f/2. I could use the 23mm f/1.4 for landscapes. However, the 23mm is not my favorite lens for landscapes. The 16-55mm f/2.8 weather resistant zoom is my favorite Fujinon lens for landscapes. I prefer to carry my smaller, faster, and weather resistant 23mm f/2 as a backup to my zoom instead of the larger 23mm f/1.4 Fujinon. I do use the 23mm f/1.4 for vacation/travel. I usually carry it with 56mm f/1.2 and 16mm f/1.4 prime lenses and two bodies. However, when I want to carry only one lens and one body, I prefer to carry the smaller and lighter 23mm f/2.

Thank you Eren, that was a great review of the lens! I’m looking to get an X-T30ii and a 23mm f/2 as my first lens to go with it. I was just wondering, is the kit lens 18-55 f/2.8-4 also worth considering in general? Only asking because I can get it together with the camera body at a better price. Thank you!

The 18-55 is a great and very versatile lines. Id recommend going for the 18-55 first, and work out which focal lengths you enjoy shooting at before picking up a prime lens.

the 23 is great for KZread, I used to use it all the time before the 16-55. You don't really get any distortion at 23mm
This review has swayed me to looking into the 23mm F2. Looking to get something faster than the 27mm F2.8 for night shots & this looks to be it. Have you tried the 18mm F2? If so how do you like it(more so the quality of it than the focal length)? I mostly shoot landscapes but have been getting into night time street stuff.

Hai Eren, I will buy either 35mm f 1.4 or 23 mm f.2, which do you think I should buy?
Shot a fire damaged wall today with a T-2 and the 23. Well lit shade, iso 200, around f5.6, f8, speed at 250, shooting in S with a small spot focus in Velvia. Well, on the screen it was exciting. But back home I thought the resolution was poor. ( I keep most of my camera settings like high, low, sharpness at zero) There was no flaring. Have you noticed different levels of detail depending on which simulation you used? We all know Velvia adds contrast which appears to give detail.. I'm going back tomorrow to try Standard and the high rez square format...
@erenjam

So the simulations only effect the JPEGS, while I do shoot in JPEG and RAW, the photos a share are almost always captured in RAW and edited in Lightroom. The different simulations will have an effect on how sharp the JPEGs appear.

Does it breathe a lot for video when manual focusing? I'm not sure if the 18-55 has more or less focus breathing

23 f2 WR, lens came out a couple years back
When you said 200g for this lens, I got jealous with envy. I am currently looking at the xpro 3 because it checks all the boxes for me (was looking at the Leica M and the xpro 3 seems to be the better and more obvious choice overall). I currently use Leica and Pentax cameras, and one of my main lenses (Pentax DFA * 50mm 1.4) weighs nearly 1300g! Awesome weather sealed lens and optical Quality, but it’s not really viable to carry around when it weighs that much not including the camera body itself. I actually use a 23mm f2 on my Leica and I wonder if this Fuji f2 would shoot similar in its handling. F2 is pretty soft on the Leica lens but by f4 it’s pretty clear throughout the frame. Do you think the xpro 3 and f2 could be a one camera, one lens combo that would work for taking it on travels, daily carry, etc? My last question is how do you think the AF would be for people moving around (animals playing, children running around, etc)? Thank you in advance!

If you are going to use it as a one lens combo, why not consider the x100v ? same set up, even more compact, integrated ND. The X-Pro 3 sure is a sexy camera, but a X100V seems to fit the bill as well in your case.

I ended up going with the xpro 3 and 23 f2 r wr….really enjoying it a lot. I thought about the 100 but I’ve had fixed lens cameras in the past and it’s always a pain trying to deal with getting the sensor clean when it gets dusty/dirty. Took nearly a month to get my Leica X2 back, etc. I’d rather just spend 30 seconds to take the lens off and blow it with a blower than wait 30 days to get it back, pay for shipping, etc. Aside from that, I absolutely love the 100 and would have gave it some serious consideration!

Dude had me nervous throwing the lens up in the air so many times 😂 Chill bro lol
I hear a lot of people raving about the x100v but not being able to change lenses isn’t my idea of real photography. Same goes for the Leica Q series. I’m sure the photos these cameras take are amazing but I would feel limited. I just picked up an X-E3 and the Sigma 56mm F1.4. I’m probably going to get this lens that you are tossing around. And maybe the older XF14 F2.8. My total investment will be around the same as what a used X100V would go for. I’ll have a much more versatile setup and will feel like a real photographer vs a pseudo cell phone photographer (which is what point and shoot cameras like the X100V and Leica Q seem to be). Thanks for the great review and nice shots!

Awesome! hope you enjoy using it Andy 🙏🏼
This is the only lens I use in my set up. Why? I don't need to think about options. I just take my camera and start taking pictures. It's so liberating. People buy way too many lenses. Stick with one and enjoy.

If you ever show the pillow under the frame, it should have some visual gag on it. "Moe's Camera Insurance and Fresh Bagels", etc.....

This playing with the lens got me distresseds, I need to take my pills) Anyway, great review and photos. I also just realized the review is about 23mm, I was sure it's about 35mm, that I'm planning to buy. But now I'm not sure about 35mm.
