Fuji X-T10, with the 60mm over the 35mm...

So I've ordered the Fuji X-T10 along with the Fujinon 60mm 2.4 (to coincide with the X100s and TCL-X100 that I already own) in order to finally start second shooting for local documentary wedding photographers. Obviously, I would love more lenses but money is VERY tight at the moment and this was the absolute max budget I could afford until after the summer. It worked out at £670 overall ($984), including a cashback offer Fuji currently have on bodies in the UK. I would LOVE a 56mm but they are more than double the price of the 60mm.

I was torn between the 35mm and 60mm as they were approx the same price, ish, but I decided to go with the 60mm as it is obviously a much different focal length to the X100s.

My question is, have I made the right decision? The order has been placed and now buyers remorse has set in! Surely the Fuji X100s (with or without the TCL) would be just too close to the 35mm? Right? Surely the variety of the X100 along with the X-T10 + 60mm give me better options going forward for (documentary) wedding photography?

Also, does anyone have any experience with the 60mm on the X-T10?

Thanks guys, I appreciate any advice/feedback/experience you have for me.

I own both the 35mm f/1.4 and the 60mm f/2.4 and I’m sorry to say I could not disagree more. The 35mm is magic sometimes I just can’t believe the results of the images it produces. I feel it's great for street photography sometimes magic. The 60mm IMHO is for flowers and portraits that’s it. It ‘slow to focus and hunts a lot. Don’t get me wrong the 60mm is staying in my bag of tricks but I use the 35mm f/1.4 10 to 1.
