Hi,

I shot the 35L and 135L and loved them both but there is one thing to consider. Fuji AF might be slower but it is much more reliable. You can shoot lenses wide open without hit and miss.

You loose a little "DOF play" but it should still be fine. The 35L I shot mostly at F2 anyway to increase sharpness, gain some DOF and reduce the risk of missing focus. The 135L on the other hand was really amazing at f2 for distance shots. For tight head shots I stopped it down to f2.8 or even better to f4 to have both eyes and the nose in focus.
