Very badly worded question but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and answer it. The answer is no, absoltely not. Its a very fine lens. The 23/35/50 F2s are all great little lenses.

Oh, and what are you talking about on that "blurry" comment? The X100F has a great F2 prime and there is nothing even remotely blurry about it. There are no blurry Fuji lenses. There are no "bad" Fuji lenses. Fuji makes some of the best, or perhaps the best, glass in the world.

Greg, offcourse you're absolutely right about Fuji not making bad lenses. And the X100 and 23f2 lenses are absolutely not blurry. At close focussing distances f2 is soft though. If the subject is een bigger distance away, f2 is perfectly fine.
