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.

I think this is a very poorly worded answer. A blanket statement such as 'Fuji makes no bad lenses' is just a silly cliché, and really brings nothing to the conversation. The 'good' or 'bad' is always relative to something, and in this case relative to Fuji lens line-up. Even with Fuji there will always be some lenses that are 'better' than others, and some that are 'worse' than others.

What is more, many would argue, that at least at some point, there has been a significant variation. Everyone who has returned a XF 18-55mm, for example, might argue that Fuji does make bad lenses.
