Andy F got a reaction from Mike K in 23/2 first impressions
Hello! I got the 23/2 today and wrote my first impressions of it on my blog, along with some general focal length musing preamble:
http://blog.andyf.me/fuji-23mm-f2-first-impressions/
In summary: it's a really nice size and weight, aperture feels good to use, focuses quickly and quietly, and the images it produces are nice – tack sharp everywhere but the extreme edges, unobtrusive bokeh, no distortion, and good flare resistance.

Andy F got a reaction from Arnold Newman in I've handled a pre-production X-T2; nothing new, but can confirm some things
That’s not an argument against Fuji including a touch-screen though. Like others have said, if the XT2 does have a touchscreen, it will have literally no negative impact on people who don’t want to use it. They can just ignore it entirely.
The only argument I can see against Fuji including touch-screens on cameras is that it might somehow mean they make design decisions that end up with core functionality controlled by the screen and not by buttons/dials. In other words, a slippery slope fallacy.
And if you’re upset about ‘paying’ for a feature you don’t use, then uh, don’t be selfish? The camera isn't designed specifically for you. I personally don’t ever use the hotshoe on my cameras, but I realise that other people do and don’t begrudge Fuji putting one there.
