I had an X100 and and an X100T. If you focus close and shoot at f2, the pictures are blurry ... I don't think this needs to be argued.

Hmmmm.  Hadn't heard that.  The X100F is a pro camera body with a pro 23 F2 lens permanently attached, so that surprises me.

Well then.  I am currently shooting in Rome and I brought 7 tac-sharp Fuji lenses with me (but I left the 23 F2 at home).

I also have the X100F with me but haven't gone out with it yet.  I'll go give it a try.  Close at F2.  I don't ever shoot close at F2 but I will go out today and see if it is blurry close at F2.

OK guys... Thread derailment time.  Is the X100F "blurry" close at F2 like the OP says?  I dont recall ever reading that when you guys made me buy that camera a few months ago on that X100F thread.
