There's nothing inherently wrong with 23mm f2. At the moment I just can't justify having two lenses of the same length. When I was deciding on with one to buy, I've put IQ and low light over size. I will probably end up adding it later on to my arsenal but I need to cover wider range and scenarios at the moment. Intresting to see how some people recoment 10-24 and other stand by the 14mm
Nice review website BTW.

Marek,

Honestly, the 10-24 is so versatile you could leave it on the entire trip. But since you have the 23mm, just bring it with you at night in those low light scenes. But during the day you're really not going to need it. The Fuji sensors do great at higher ISOs.

The 23mm f2 is so ridiculously small, light and compact I'll through it a bag and not even know its there. When on the camera you can't even feel it. I've never shot anything that small that performs so well including astrophotography.
