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.

Greg,

If you are so inclined, you can do lots of testing  with the X100F or the X100T. However, as far as the performance of the XF23mm f2.0 is concerned it will have very little relevance.

They are not the same lenses. Please see my earlier post in relation to that.
