XF 23mm f/2 owners: what am I not seeing?
I have a small three-prime collection:
Viltrox Air 35mm f/1.7
TTArtisan 56mm f/1.8
Fujifilm XF 23mm f/2
Ironically, the Fuji was the lens I was most excited to buy, but it's ended up being my least favourite.
The two cheaper lenses seem to have more character and a more unique rendering. By comparison, the XF 23mm f/2 often gives me images that feel a bit more like an upgraded smartphone photo. I've also been a little underwhelmed by the corner sharpness.
I'm curious if this is mainly the 23mm focal length, or if others have noticed something similar with this particular lens.
What has your experience been with the XF 23mm f/2? Is there something about its rendering that makes it a favourite for you, or did you have a similar impression?
