So, here are my current lenses.

16-55 2.8

60 2.4

90 2.0

What I am looking for is something that I can carry around to take pictures of the kids. 99% of what I take pictures of is the kids. Either goofing off, or something more 'posed'. The 60 and 90 are fantastic lenses. But, they can be a bit too tight (primary for indoor shooting). I love the 16-55, but sometimes would like to haul around something lighter. Would love the 56, but that is really not different than the 60 (focal length). So, my thought is the 35 f/2. The reviews are great, but wanted to know if there are others using the 35 for the same purpose I would like to. We just got back from a 3 day trip and I guess I could have stuck the 16-55 at 35 and seen if I liked it.

Any thoughts? Thanks, Pete

I just love my 27mm, just been away for the weekend with it on my X-E2 and didn't once wish I'd brought anything else. Light in weight, tiny, fast to focus, pin sharp, and at the price I paid for a used one, an absolute bargain.
