Fujifilm 23f/1.4 and 90f/2 vs Canon 35f/1,4L II and 135f/2L, has anyone shot with both alternatives?

If I understand correctly, you don't have a Fuji system yet. I suggest getting an XT2, 23mm 1.4, and consider the 56mm. Forget adding to the Canon system until you've used the Fuji for a while. Its possible you'll forget about the Canon, which shocks me to say, but as much as I love my 6D I don't use it as much.

I still only have my Canon 6D, 20D, 16-35f/4L IS, 24-70f/2.8L II, 70-200f/4L IS.

I have used my 6D for nearly 4 years. I shoot every single day and I bring my 6D + 24-70f/2.8L II every where i go. When I need 2 cameras and have no time or do not want to to change lenses I use my trusty +11 year old 20D with the 70-200f/4L IS.

I love the 6D IQ and even my old 8MP 20D still have very good IQ at lower 100-400ISOs and they are both very rugged. Both have travelled the entire world and I have never had a single problem, they just work, in dusty Africa, in Death Valley desert extreme heat +50 Centigrade, in high 100% humidity and +30-35C heat in Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, China, Hong Kong and Bali or in polar freezing even below -35C they still deliver and the now 4 and 11 year old original batteries still last for ever, even using GPS and shooting 300-500 shots in one full day the 6D battery almost always have 50% left when we get back to the hotel late in the evenings, I have never run out of power.

I like that the 6D is small and light (770g) for a FF DSLR and really love it for having integrated GPS. We travel a lot and GPS is fun and really invaluable when returning home with 4000-6000 photos to process it really helps knowing exactly when and where our photos were taken and the GPS also always keeps the clock on local time and saves a log of the entire route we made.

We had a long family talk this evening, and even if I really am very attracted to the X-Pro2 and small fast primes the fact that it has no GPS is a deal breaker for our needs. My wife is firm on that any new camera we get from now on simply must have GPS.

To satisfy my need for faster primes I will buy two Canon primes, 35f/2 IS and the 135f/2L or the 100f/2.8L Macro IS.

My hope is for Fujifilm to release a new X-Pro3 with GPS in 1-2 years from now and perhaps a new X100 with OVF and EVF, 36MP FF Bayer sensor, no AA, GPS and a 35mm f/1.4 lens.

Thank you all for your valuable advice!
