What lenses to go with 35/f2 and 56/f1.2

Hi all,

After many years of lurking I have finally dipped my toe into Fujifilm water. I have not yet sold my MFT kits, so I am starting with the X-T1 with 2 lenses, 56/f1.2 and the new 35/f2.

I am planning to take the Fuji kit with me next month on a week's visit to England, with wife and 5-year-old. It will primarily be London museums and parks, and with touristy bits in between.

Until now, I would have gone with GH4 and 3 Panasonic lenses, 7-14/f4, 12-35/f2.8, 42.5/f1.2. (times two the focal length to translate to 35mm speak)

I want to learn the Fuji system and slowly build up my kits, but I am feeling quite exposed with just the Fujinon 35/f2 and 56/f1.2, especially on the wide angle side. I have read a lot on the 18/f2, 16/f1.4, 10-24/f4, and Samyang 12/f2, and their pros and cons. At different point in the last 24 hours, I have made up my mind to get one, then changed to the other, then changed again. And now I am just confused.

Among these (or other options) what does people think would be a good addition for travel and day-to-day carry? Or should I just get the 18-55/f2.8-4 for its versatility? (I will probably carry all 3 lenses and XT1 in a sling bag)

Thanks!
Chris
