Shall I trade it (35/2) in? ^_^ Then i had two 23 and no more 35 (but just in between us, I don't use it often...)
I ordered the X-T2 yesterday, the dealer offered me - without asking for - the battery grip for half price. Cool, the extra batteries are nearly paid
officially it will be on sale from September 8th.new Fujinon XF 23mm f/2 R WR - Guest - 08-25-2016
A little concern about the 43mm filter size; which is hte same as the 35f2. Otherwise positive mtf.

Quote:A little concern about the 43mm filter size; which is hte same as the 35f2. Otherwise positive mtf.My Canon EF-M 22mm f3 has a 43mm filter thread too. I bought a Marumi 43mm circular-pl filter for it which is not in any way thin or low profile, and it introduces no vignetting at all.
Only odd thing about this filter I bought is the aluminium finish (not black). Luckily that has not caused me issues (yet) (not shhoting into the sun with a pol. filter).

Looking at the small front element in relation to the filter size, and the relatively moderate AOV for 23mm on APS-C, I am confident the filter size is fine for this lens.

I particularly like the left hand side viewfinder, no "beak grease" on the rear screen.

The EVF of the X-T2 is centered, the one of the X-Pro2 is left sided. So, beak grease, no escape from :unsure: but it might be a nice camera anyway. I wonder when there will be the X-T20?

The Angry Photographer has been playing with the XT-2 today with the latest FW, he now states that it beats the D500 in terms of tracking ability and focus speed.....maybe this is the mirror-less turning point for AF!
Many find the guy painful and bigoted, but his testing of the AF tracking is what many here have been predicting!
