I already own the 35mm F2 and the 16 - 55 F2.8 for the X-T2.

For the purposes of events work, wedding in particular, which of the following would you add to the collection, ignoring price for the moment:

56mm F1.2

90mm F2

50 - 140mm F2.8

And why? Thanks.

You'll get a lot of votes for the 56 f/1.2.  But I would go with the 50-140.  If you only have 3 lenses I think you will get a lot more use out of the focal length range offered by having the 50-140 in the bag.  The 56 f/1.2 will undoubtedly give you beautiful brides portraits and the wide aperture will be useful in a lot of cases.  I just think with just three lenses you would get more usage from the 50-140.  If you get a fourth lens get the 56.
