The 23 F2 is a superb accomplishment by Fuji. The most underrated XF lens. It may be language. But I question the motivation of this thread's origin. It is classic camera forum misdirection nonsense. Is it genuine? No. Well.... You never know for sure but that is my expert opinion.

Hold the 23 F2. Then shoot it. Beautiful, superb lens.

This ridiculous thread actually almost drove me to be as crazy as some of you. I say that with brotherly love.

I mean it with affection for my fellow camera lovers.

But some of you need a spanking. Check that.... I mean some of you need some tough love.

Rediculous thread? I think not. I just started shooting with my new X-T3 and XF 23mm and quite frankly the combo is very disappointing. I'm hoping it's the lens and not the camera.

That is hilarious Lance. Man oh Man. Sell the rig now while its worth a lot. Buy one of the many other brands that will make you happier. I would suggest Sony. Then post on that board.

But if you are going to drop a bomb like that here on this already ridiculous thread, start a new thread and elaborate on your concerns about the XT-3 and tell us what you dont like. But don't entitle the thread, "Is the XT-3 a bad camera?" And then say it takes blurry pictures. LOL. Geeeez.... This thread. Unbelievable.

Have you thought of trying this?:

"If you can post a photo with specs, maybe I can help sort out the issue with you."

I mean, if you can't help. . . who can?

Im serious Bob.  Lance dropped a bomb and flew off.  The XT-3 is Fuji's new star camera.  The 23 F2 he has on it is a fabulous little lens.

This is the Fuji Forum.  He needs to start a thread and state his conerns.  He sounds like an experieced shooter, so I want to hear his impressions.  He obviously is not impressed.

I'm 6 hours later than you and just woke up at 4 AM wide awake in Rome.  It takes me more time these days to get back on a sleep pattern.  If I turn on the light, Teresa will kill me.  Im screwed.....
