Fujifilm 23mm f/2 vs f/2.8 - Real-world test
There is a new 23mm f2.8 out.
I spent two days in Aarhus testing the new Fujifilm XF 23mm f/2.8 against the older XF 23mm f/2.0 to see how they actually perform in the real world - out on the streets, and around the city.
In this video, I’ll share my first-hand impressions of autofocus speed, and how each lens feels to use in daily shooting. If you’re wondering whether the new f/2.8 is worth it over the classic f/2, this should give you a clear idea.
Both lenses were kindly lent to me by Mimosa Photo Store in Aarhus - huge thanks to them for the support. if you are a tourist in Denmark, Mimosa is the best place to shop and talk Fujifilm gear.
