I believe the 23/2 has a slightly wider field of view than a 35mm full-frame lens, but I don’t think it’s equivalent to 31mm. When I mount my Pentax FA31 on my full-frame K-1 and then compare it to the XF35/2 on my X-T20, the Pentax 31 is still a little bit wider. I estimate the 23/2 to be closer to 32 or33mm equivalent. That’s really negligible for me.

That's reassuring and I agree it's negligible. The 23mm f2 will be my one and only lens for a while - I just want something noticeably narrower the 18mm f2, that offers more compression. Which is why claims of 31mm equiv were a bit annoying.
