Is the 23mm F2 a bad lens?

It’s a very good lens. I’ve gotten pin sharp images with great colour from the 23mm f2 as well as the X100T.

Yes, if you get super close then they will get hazy, that’s just the lens design. They corrected this in the X100V with another aspherical I think but the bokeh doesn’t look as good. I preferred the character I got from my departed T. The F2 has a similar character but is much faster and quieter and weather sealed.

I actually prefer the f2’s to the f1.4’s. For the money you can’t go wrong. I have the 35mm too and will likely get the 90mm and possibly a 16 1.4.

The little things, there's nothing bigger.
