    Zenzaman got a reaction from Catch22 in XF23/1.4 on X-T10 body or X100s   
    In the mean time I've massacred the piggy bank. Only the second body left now (and maybe replace the 18/2 with a 16/1.4 in the future). Even with all the hype around the xpro2 I'm not totally convinced it's the right camera for me (although it looks great). Maybe I should wait for more news about the xt2. I could also get the xe2 at a very good price (around 360$ new) as I understand it's as good as the xt10 with the new firmware upgrade. If the performance difference between the xe2/xt1/xt10 and the xpro2 is not major, it's not really worth paying more than 5 times the price of the xe2 (or almost 3 times the price of the xt1). Will have to think it over...

    I've had both the XF23mm and the X100S for a year or so.
    After living with them both, here's what I've done:
    I've put them both up for sale on eBay and bought an X100T
     
    Here's why:
    - little point in having 2 lenses of the same focal length.
    - the 23mm is a lovely lens but bulky and not inconspicuous at a social gathering.
    - my old X100S was inconspicuous and silent, but not so quick and easy to focus in low light or to change the focus point in a fast-moving environment.
    - my new X100T has direct focus point control and face detection, and it focuses fast.
    - with an X100 series camera instead of the 23, you can have a different lens on your interchangeable-lens camera. A 56mm, say. You have a 2-camera kit.
    - you lose 1 stop of speed with the f2 lens, but I have 3 other fast lenses: the 16, the 35 and the 56, for when things get dark. I don't need a fourth fast lens.
    - you can take X100 cameras anywhere. At a family gathering no-one pays it any attention when you're taking pics - especially in silent mode. You can get some great documentary images.
    All in all I'm very happy with the choice I've made.
