Would the Fuji 16mm f1.4 be too heavy on the X-Pro 2?

Hello all,

I've been lurking around the forum for quite some time and have just recently made a purchase on the X-Pro 2 and 35mm f2 lens. I haven't received them yet but I'm quite excited to be getting them shortly.

I just had a quick question regarding the Fuji 16mm f1.4 lens and if anyone here knows how heavy it'll be on the X-Pro 2 at all? I have previously shot with Canon and Nikon and so I'm excited to be moving to mirror less with some lighter gear. I've always enjoyed the 16mm FOV on my other gear and shot quite a bit in that range. This is why I naturally would like to get the Fuji 16mm f1.4 as my second lens but had concerns as a lot of people here complain about the size and weight of it. I switched from my other systems to save on weight and don't care to go back in that direction. If the 16mm proves to be too large and heavy then I might just opt for the Fuji 14mm f2.8 instead...however, as I mentioned, I prefer 16mm, I really like the f1.4, and its WR to match the X-Pro2.

So does anyone know how heavy the X-Pro2 & 16mm f1.4 combo is? Will it be too heavy for daily use? Or should I just go for the 14mm instead?

Fujifilm XF 16mm F1.4 R WR Fujifilm XF 35mm F2 R WR Fujifilm X-Pro2
