It holds its own that’s for sure. I did some testing a few months back, if you want to see the photos I will try my best and dig them up when I’m back at my computer.

In a nutshell (and from memory) the Tokina is sharper in the middle but tends to fall off ever so slightly in the corners. I also found the Fuji lenses to produce marginally better contrast but this purely down to my own judgement and knowing what I’m looking for. For all intents and purposes anyone would be hard pushed to easily spot any deficiencies in the Tokina over the Fuji lenses.

The other one is the Viltrox 23mm. It and the Tokina are basically the same lens with different branding. However, the Tokina overcame the one major issue I had with the Viltrox which was in-camera corrections. Since Tokina paid Fuji for the license they have access to such things whereas the Viltrox doesn’t.
