I've read multiple conflicting posts on the issue - can anyone confirm once and for all if the 23 f2 is actually 35mm equivalent? Some are saying the lens is as short as 31mm equivalent.

Humm..... which of the following lenses is the TRUE 35mm lens that you want to compare with?

35mm Sumicron = 63 degrees angle of view

35mm Sigma Art = 63.4 degrees angle of view

35 mm ZEISS Milvus = 64.2 degrees angle of view

35 mm Nikon F/2.0 = 62 degrees angle of view

You should be able to see that your original question is pretty much meaningless, in reality. Most 35mm lenses hover around 63 degrees angle of view +/- a little when projecting on 24x36 mm sensor/film.

The Fuji 23 f/2 AND 23 f/1.4 are both = 63.4 degrees angle of view.

Source for specs for all of the above is product specs as stated at B&H.
