XF 23mm f1.4 R fast prime for X system

[Parka]

any picture of this lens mounted on an XE-1? How's the handling?
The fuji showroom has this mounted on an XM-1, and makes the whole set-up unbalanced IMHO.

I'm almost ready to get the 35mm but this focal length would be more useful for me. I'm not a big fan of it's size though.

It's slightly taller than the 35mm, a bit fatter.
It's going to be slightly front heavy.

I'm using it on the X-Pro1 with case and it feels alright overall. A bit front heavy but not really an issue.
Handling's the same as 35mm lens, they are build of the same quality, just that the 23mm is internal focus, no external moving parts.

Best to ask the shop to reserve for you.

Seem like the lens is selling quite well, I must say its a good buy despite of the price.

It's a good buy. Just look at the prices of Canon and Nikon 35mm f/1.4. The Fuji lens is almost half the weight.

Ya agree, its a premium lens.

One of my favorite Japanese photographer in Flickr also started to use XF23mm for his shots

If willing to walk around tokyo, can buy for as little over 1k! Or just ask amazon to send to your hotel at 1.1k.
