Review: Surprised at the lack of reviews here! I currently own the 18-55, 35 f2 and 56 f1.2. That's too many lenses for me. As much as I love the 35 I don't need it for portraits now I have the 56. That left me thinking of something I could use as a travel lens, something I could pair with the 56 and just have a 2 lens system. Enter the 23 f2. I thought long and hard about this or the 1.4 and as much as I'm sure the bokeh on the 1.4 is great, I had to ask myself what I was buying this for. I've got 2 young kids and do a lot of shooting indoors where, as much as the extra stop of the 1.4 would help, its focus speed would certainly be a hindrance. As I said, I've got the 56 so portraits are covered, what I needed was an everyday lens that I could use for my holidays and around the house snaps of the kids. This lens fits the bill completely. I've read that its perhaps a little soft close up at f2 and perhaps it is, that being said, you would only ever see that at 100% crop in lightroom. Even then, soft is not the right word, its perhaps not as crisp. As I said though, unless you're looking for it you'd never know. Also, a touch of vigentting at f2 but I actually like it for my black and whites and it goes by 2.8. Focus is instant, I've got it paired with an xpro2 which helps. Its a challenge for me thinking in 35mm terms as I've been a 50mm guy all this time but I'm enjoying the context this lens brings to my pictures. I took several photos with the 35mm and the 23mm and the difference in field of view surprised me. It took a while getting used to but I wouldnt swap this lens for the world. The build quality is great and the optics are superb (its a fuji, expect no different). If you only have to have one lens, make it this one.

Review: It's fine at f5.6 and f8, everything else is just not that great. f2-4 range is very soft and hazy on high resolution cameras, so not really useable. Focusing is fine, but nothing spectacular. Great size and weight tho, so it's ok for family snapshots or holidays, but nothing more than what you're getting out of iPhone photos
