Future X-T2 owner searching for lenses suitable for 4K movie capture

Hello!

I've been reading DPREVIEW fora for more than a year, searching for a mirrorless replacement for my Nikon D5200.

First, I was in love with the OM-D E-M10 II, but it escalated quickly to her bigger sister, the OM-D E-M5 II, as I explained on the M43 forum.

Then, I had some doubts on the lenses, and - once again - you guys helped me a lot.

But then I've heard about the X-T2, and it has everything I've ever dreamed of, even 4K!

As I'm planning to use her (+ the power grip) half of the time shooting photographs, half the time shooting video, a question arises: which lenses should I use for video, assuming:

- The X-T2 does not have IBIS.

- The 4K capture is 1.17 crop factor (1.75 FF equivalent?).

My first option was the 16-55 @ 16 (28?) but, even though she has constant apperture WR seal and is quite silent, she has no OIS.

Then, I found the 10-24. The fewer videos I've watched showed no sign of audible noise when focusing. Even though she's not WR, she has OIS, constant aperture and focus really fast. Am I on the right track or did I miss something?

For a second lens, I'm planning to get a WR prime, the 35 f/2 (52,5 35mm equivalent, 60mm 4K crop equivalent?). Even though I'd have no IBIS, at least I'll be able to shoot at low light / indoors.

TL;DR: I need some advice on OIS lenses for X-T2 4K video shooting.

Thank you in advance!
