The 23/2 has enough copy variation to remove it from any consideration I’d give it. Yes it’s WR, it’s fast and it’s quiet. But there’s a high chance it’s not going to take great images.

I agree with you about the X100 being a unique proposition and a camera well worth acquiring if you get the opportunity, but your comments about the 23mm f2 are bordering on the silly. It's one of the most popular Fujinon lenses and has been bundled as a "kit" with tens of thousands of Fuji cameras. If it was a duffer, we'd know it by now.

My 23mm f2 is fine, for the record - and I prefer its rendering/IQ to the lens on my X100V at all apertures except for wide open.
