It's good to see this thread revived after nine years.
I bought a Fuji 23/1.4 recently from Camera Lane in Spotswood (Melbourne), at a quite reasonable price given its quality and the gorgeous rendition of colors, mid-tones and details in the shadow. It does everything to near perfection (given that nothing is perfectly perfect, I would give it a 9.8/10) and it also gives me the option of using it as an entirely manual (focus) lens, which I like.
Initially it did wonderful work on my XT2, then my XE2. As from 10.2024 I have it more or less permanently on my Xpro2. It has even taken me away from my preferred Fuji 18/2.0, which, given that I've been a '28' shooter for several decades (my digital Nikons have 28/2.8 Ds and my Nikkormat FT2 has a 28/3.5, all more or less stuck on), it says something positive about the great results I get from this Fuji, even tho' I have to say I'm still in the learning stages of working with it.
My congratulations to those who have posted images in this thread. They all are so remarkably good.
