I've used the lens for a few years. I've never liked 35mm focal length that much, but many of my favorite images of are shot with it and nowadays it is on my camera more often than not. It is sharp, compact and the WR is very handy in a snowstorm for example. It has a pretty strong vignette at wide open though, which is a bit of a bummer, as up here in the Nordics it's rare to be able to close the aperture much. The build quality is solid, the autofocus motor is way better than older Fuji lenses and it feels very nice to handle.

I paired this lens with the X-T1 to have a weather resistant combo and emulate the X-100 experience somehow. I haven’t used it much yet, but I am still very excited by this combination.
I don’t think you have a weather resistant Fuji camera, and you already own the f1.4 version of this lens. Therefore I am a bit puzzled as to why you would be interested in the f2 WR lens.

ai-generated slop doesn't do your video any justice

23mm(35mm) is my favorite focal lengh, but the 23/f2 is the worst Fujinon lens I own.

Where can I buy the lens that struggles to distinguish a cats head from its back end? 🤔 Need it to take pictures of my wife.

I take your stated intentions at face value, so don't take this personal. I find AI imagery to be gross, creepy and borderline dystopic, so I'm confused as to why anyone would find a video based on that uplifting, regardless of how it was meant to be perceived.

Have a nice day!
