There should be consequences for necroing a thread like this, just let it die.

f/2 has WR, is slightly more compact and faster/quieter autofocus; that's where the differences end.

Image quality is a wash, all the talk about "magic" can be attributed to f/1.4; and if money was no object, I would get the f/1.4

Let's be real here, all Fuji lenses have passable autofocus, most of us on this forum are not shooting in the rain, and the size difference is also a wash for most "should I take it" considerations.

I'm not saying the f/2 is bad, but the f/1.4 has f/1.4, there's nothing that can replace that.

The magic is not down to the lens being 1.4. It goes way beyond that and unless you’ve used it you really can’t comment.

I'm sorry but this is objectively nonsense.

A lot of sudden anger over something said 2 months ago. I am sure everyone is is busy elsewhere doing other things by now.

People will use all sorts of terms like "magic" or "3D effect" to communicate metrics that can be objectively measured.

Notice how no one demonstrates "magic" of a f/1.4 lens at f/8? Why do you think that is?
