It's almost unanimously held by all users that the XF23mm f2.0 is an excellent lens.

This review is just one of the many out there you may like to read.

I read that it's the same as X100 series

You need to be more careful about what you believe of what you read on the internet.

It is definitely not the same lens. In fact as per this statement from Fuji, it could hardly be more different.

You could have just asked what people thought about the lens, instead of asking what you did.

In my view, the way you put it reflects on you quite negatively. It tells people that you have very little idea, but plenty of prejudice. It makes me think you have made up your mind without knowing anything about the lens, and never bothered to check if the little you thought you knew was actually correct.

where pictures are blurry when the objects are close.

I am not sure this is the case, but admittedly, I have never had an X100T.
