No, it's the 35mm F1,4 that feels like a toy with its buzzing AF and flimsy aperture ring. Both are good lenses though.

What is meant by character? How would you define it in a lens?

Surely it is subjective.

I don't know about 'character', all I can say, owning the 16, 23 and 50, is that they each deliver great IQ and each is small, light and tactile. I wouldn't define these attributes as character, just good quality engineering.
 
The only f/2 Fuji I have is the 90. Its character is "purity", I imagine.

In my experience, the 27 f/2.8 has the most "character" among Fuji primes, if that means quirks like the motor noise and unexpected WB slew to cool in some conditions and such - very lovable for all that, though.
 
I kind of like the out of focus highlights on the F2 version.

My 35 f2 has captain america character

My 23 f2 has iron man character

And My 16mm f1.4 has thanos character

Hahaha

Cheers

They do if they are attached to the X-Pro 1/2...for which they were built...otherwise I would get the f1.4 versions, which I did.

Kindly define what you mean by "character" in this context?

I guess it’s mostly about the colour signature and rendering that makes Images pop

I have the 23, 35 and 50/2 Fujicrons, and I like how they render - and I very much appreciate that they all have a very similar “look.” I’m hoping the 16/2.8 is the same, because as much as I like my 14/2.8 the output doesn’t fit in well with the other three.
