I keep being tempted by it as it would virtually turn my X-M1 into a compact (size-wise) but it's not very far off the only other Fuji lens I have, the 35mm f/1.4. I also have plenty of old 28mm lenses I can adapt (without AF, of course, and much bigger) that would be an almost identical focal length and speed.
I'd go for the 23mm f/2 but of course it's much more expensive and newer, so hard to find used.
Yes, I have it, and use it, but personally see in 35mm FOV vision, so always found it a bit tight. I now have the 23mm F2 and use that more.
The 27mm is light and small - some issues with curvature and slower AF, but a very sharp centre. Also, if you like 28mm, the 18mm is a much better lens than everyone makes out.
