F2 was just wonderful until Cnet told me that it's really bad and pretty much unusable below 10 ft.
I remember using f/2 with my old X100 for close-ups, like this:

That's pretty much macro distance, at least for the classic X100 (the S has improved MFD for OVF and EFV).
Here's f/2.2 (yeah, sure, 2.2, that's cheating, right)...

Yep, totally unusable. Crappy lens. Great review from real "experts".
Now that we know that f/2 is utterly unusable, please post your own examples of useless images taken at f/2...
