Another lens crossroads

Hi

i have the X100T with a WCL and an XT2 with the 35mm f1.4 and 18-135mm

i have a young family and a cocker spaniel plus enjoy hill walking and amateur landscape shots.

The key for me is having the cameras accessible and rather than tucked away in a bag. For regular outings I reach for the x100 and belt mount, alternately I clip my XT2 to my rucsack which again works well with a peak design system

I am keen to get the most out of the xt2 and have started questioning my lens lineup. Recently I sold the 10-24 to fund an upgrade from the xt1 to xt2 and am pleased with the decision, couldn't really get on with very wide angle.

I would appreciate some thoughts on a next lens. The 18-135 is good for walking as it covers a wide range and is WR, important for the UK. It's not so good at shooting my daughter in a school play though as it's slow. I am very happy with the 35mm have thought about the 56mm but think the focal length is to close to the 35mm to really benefit. I have pondered the 16-55 to go a bit wider but it doesn't have IS and I don't want to constantly have to tripod mount.
