For those of you who have some experience with this combo, is this pair fast enough for street action?

Yes.

Was only disappointed when I upgraded to the faster XE3.

In comparison the same camera with the 27mm f2.8 is a tad too slow for some things. But you only notice it with runners, cyclists or other traffic.

Thanks for the reply.

So if I understood you correctly, the 23mm f2 is faster or better with an xe2 than an xe3.  If this is true, I wonder why that is.

I have only tried street photography with the 35 f1.4 on my xe2 and the autofocus is way too slow to capture moving subjects that are coming towards me.  I know that this is a tall order for many other camera/lens combos as well.
