Since I picked up the Fujifilm X-S10 as my new vlogging camera, I saw this as a good opportunity to test out my X100V against Fujifilm's great little f/2 prime lenses. First up is the XF 23mm f/2 R WR, which I picked up second-hand a couple of weeks ago. Let's get testing!

It's crazy that no one else has done a video on both of these lenses
Thought that needed fixing 💁♂️
That 23mm needs an update asap
Thanks for the useful comparison video.
I have never used an X100 camera.
I own and use the XF 23mm f/2 R WR and I own and use with the Fujinon 23mm f/1.4 lens.
I primarily use the f/1.4 for photojournalism, documentary, low-light, and weddings. I primarily use the f/2 for street, landscapes, and vacation/travel. I use both for infrared photography.
I need to perform a comparison test like you did in this video.
Superb comparison. Thank you! 🙏
Thanks!
Great video. I have both. The biggest difference for me is video autofocus chatter/noise of the X100V vs the almost silent XF 23mm f2, even when using an external mic.
I agree - I never bought the X100V to shoot any video, but always worth noting 🤓
Thanks for the comparison. Treated myself to a 23/2 for this xmas (still to open it!), was on the fence a little but actually seeing how it did against the X100V I'm not totally regretting it. I think I can make the little guy shine :)
Very nice comparison!! I love the small form factor of the X system, the x100v is one of my preferred, a true gem among digital cameras…
Thanks for watching!
Love the 23mm F2, the first Fujifilm lens I bought back in 2018, it now regularly sits on my XT4 and my XT 30ii.
As a user of x100v, I think this fixed lens is so amazing and well maden. Thanks for sharing this comparison.
Agreed! Thanks for watching 🤓
Agreed, I just bought a X100V and I'm blown away by the sharpness of the lens ... even at F/2 !!!
As an X-S10 and 23f2 owner considering an X100V this video is very appreciated!
You're welcome - thanks for watching!
Thank you kindly for the review and comparison.
Awesome comparison, thanks!
Great video and thank you. Constructive criticism: It would be easier to follow if you always kept the same lens on each side rather than flipping them a bunch of times.
Hey Ben,
thanks for the comparison. I have the same setup and using my X-T2 and X-S10 almost exclusively with my XF 23mm f2 drove me towards the X100V.
I can confirm your results and yes the X100V is softer in the corners but it comes with so many other advantages. Not to mention the build quality...
If you put them side by side there is no question which one you grab first :-)
Cheers!
Totally agree, thanks for sharing!
fantastic video. well made. i have been watching your videos for a while - thought i had subscribed - but your stuff kept being recommended on my feed. subscribed now . late but not too late
Thanks very much! Good to have you along 👌
Nice comparison Ben. I’m hoping they release an updated version of the 23mm f2 that’s in line with the newer lens in the x100. I’ve just picked up the 16mm f2.8 and I’m loving it so far. Weird how about 2 years ago I didn’t like primes and now I find myself always using them. 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks Rich! I love using primes, very rarely touch any of my zoom lenses these days. They’re handy at times especially if you’re just using one body, but otherwise I prefer the extra light gathering & sharpness most primes can offer 🤓
@@FamauMedia And they are also much lighter to carry around.
It’s truly incredible how TH-cam has an answer for every question. Having said that I don’t understand why Fuji doesn’t just make a lens that is exactly like the x100v lens.
simple, it would have the same dimensions as the xf 23 f2 WR. Remember built-in lenses have optics that go inside of the camera body, that's why they appear to be so compact but in fact they are quite similar.
Thanks for this it underlines my suspicions
I picked up my X-S10 £650 used, very happy with that! - plus a Viltrox 23mm F1.4 for £250 which kills the X100V in most categories. I also bought the 18-55 lens for travel and 27mm pancake for when I want something ultra compact. The X100V is small but the X-S10 with the pancake lens is nearly as small. I just don't understand the appeal of the X100V.
I bought it as a daily, take everywhere camera - I used to spend far too much time thinking about different focal lengths etc, carried all my gear and took less photos. The X100V solved that for me - I've been shooting more and coming home with photos I'm much happier with 🤓
@@FamauMedia Ha, that's a fair point. I make it a rule never to bring more than 2 lenses with me (1 on the body and 1 in my bag), maybe I should reduce that to 1 lens! - I can totally relate though, I bought the body with just the 35mm F2 and I adored it, now I have way too many lenses!
It kills nothing, the XS-10 with fatman 23/1.4 Viltrox is a ton bigger, less build quality and especially not as stylish, as X100 series. The Viltrox 23/1.4 is is more a "meh" lens, luke-warm, optically it does have it's flaws, can't compete as cheap lens with the Fujinon XF 23/1.4 R for real...Enjoy your combo, but the X100 series is not for you, you don't understood it's purpose, nevermind.
@@marcp.1752 It kills it in most categories, as in filming self/selfies (flip out screen), vlogging (ibis), wildlife (ability to swap lenses, IBIS), studio (ability to swap lenses, flip out is useful), etc, etc while being almost as small/light for travel with the right lens combo. The 23mm Viltrox is a great video lens, not photo lens, it has a much better auto focus than the older Fuji primes, for travel/photo I also have the Samyang 12mm F2 and 35mm Fuji F2 to get some unique shots without a lot of extra weight. When I travel light it's the 27mm pancake.
It's funny, the person I bought my XS-10 from bought an X100V and emailed me a month later saying he's selling it and buying another XS-10 because it's virtually as portable but kills the X100V in so many categories.
Thank you. The first photo - different shutter speed. And 2 very different images as the result.
Thanks. I have the X100V on my wish list. I'd like to get a hold of the new 27mm f2.8 pancake lens and try that on my X-T4.
I’ve heard it’s pretty good! Being paired with the X-E4 I think? May be one to add to the review list 🤓
X100 at least cameras piror to X100F, the rendering are soft and a bit "zoom-in" than a 35mm vision imo. But talking about the whole camera, the reangefinder style control and the OVF. The X100 series has no competiors.!!!!
Binge watching your videos so probably haven’t got to it yet, but interested to read how you moved to XS10? You wanted to have lens change options? And IBIS?
Great test. Very usefull for me. Greetings from the Netherlands.
You're welcome Menno! Thanks for watching 🤓
I see you've got the same Hotshoe X cover on your XS-10, i use it since the X-T1, bought from Aliexpress, many years ago... 🙂
Great comparison video!
Can you also compare the X100V lens against XF 23mm f1.4?
UPDATE: You answered it near the closing of the video. Cheers.
One day, maybe... Won’t be soon though!
Nice video! Still deciding between x100v or XS10, I’m a 50:50 shooter. Any advice ?
If you're going to be shooting video I'd definitely recommend the X-S10 over the X100V, both for the swappable lenses and the stabilisation! I'll eventually be doing more videos on the X-S10 myself, only had it a couple of weeks so far - I don't like to "review" something without giving it plenty of use in the real world 🤓 But so far, I'm loving it!
@@FamauMedia thanks Famau for sharing, I’ll consider it
Why does the xf and 100v keep swapping from left to right? Very confusing video to watch but appreciate the work.
🤷♂️
Nice review!!
Thanks!
Nice video. You don't miss a zoom in the X100V for every day shooting?
Thanks! Nah, I'm almost always shooting with primes for stills, zooms being far more versatile for video
I wonder why the size of the XF23 WR is so much longer than the fixed lens on the X100 series.
Lens on x100 is partly sunken within the body of camera and it doesn’t have a mount that adds to the leinght of it…
Great video, but man the pricing did not age well 😂
i am debating if i should sell my 23mm F2 and use the money to put towards a x100f ..
My recommendation - save more money and get the X100V 👊
Is it weird if I really want/wish for a fuji X100V but with a 18-35mm lens (27-52mm full frame equivalent)? I know the point of this camera is to have fix lens but still... that would be my dream camera. Maybe if they make the 15-45mm old kit lens a f/2.8 aperture lens (or f/2.8-4). One can dream.
Maybe I should get the XPro3 with the 18-55mm f/2.8-4? Is not having a prime with an XPro a sin? 😂
Yes! - I would love a 15-45mm f/2.8-4 -- while I love the 18-55mm, I do wish it was wider. I bought a Samyang 12mm for when I want wide and I use it all the time despite it being manual focus!
I use my xpro3 a lot with the 18-55 lens when I need the versatility and don’t want to change lenses. Of course, it’s not as compact as an x100v
The 23mm f/1.4 is also more narrow than the f/2 version. I believe the f/2 version is actually more a 34mm in full frame term...
Can you do a x100v+ TCL vs 35f2
I will eventually!
The only complaint I have with the X100V lens, is the auto focus speed. For that reason I don’t use it for street photography - just too Many misses! Hopefully they’ll be an upgrade fix.
Hi Ben Jones,
Thanks for watching! I've had no issues like that though, maybe we just have different shooting methods 🤷♂️
Regards, Ben Jones 👊

My type of street photography means that I react quickly to the environment, specifically taking people pictures. This means people are unpredictably moving quickly.
My street photography rarely involves stills of backgrounds and people walking through them.
Agreed, autofocus even in single afs is very unreliable. It gives you a green focus ok box, but misses way too often.
Probom is very evident with targets in the 5 plus meters away. Just activate the focus scale and see for yourself. Focus on something in the 2 meter range, then change to an objective at 10 meter and back again. Do this a few times at 5.6 or smaller like F8, you will see autofocus miss a lot on the far end. It will lock focus at 3 meters, while the object is more then 5 metered away. It will focus at less then 10 meters where it should hit infinity. In short the original leica q with contrast based autofocus in afs is at least 10 times more reliable. Same goes for the old xt1. It's not super fast but more then fast enough for street, and reliable.
Спасибо большое тебе за это сравнение! Мне это очень помогло!
Пожалуйста!
