Prime 2/3-lens setup

In my case, I discovered that I tend to use just one lens 95% of the time and also, since going digital, I rarely use anything longer than 23mm. I also discovered that after more than 55 years of shooting film, I do better with manual focus lenses. Right now I'm using the X-E2 with the 14mm f2.8 and 23mm f1.4. Both have the AF/MF clutch plus DOF/Distance scales so, I can use either as a traditional manual lens or quickly switch to AF; the best of both worlds. And as with my other combos, the 23mm gets most of the use.

If you're not happy with the 27mm, get rid of it. Also, don't forget that a 50mm lens will give you a 75mm FOV while still performing as a 50mm lens otherwise.

Thanks for the input, Bill. 35mm or 40mm FF equivalent is my sweetspot as well. Therefore my main focus is on deciding about a 23mm or keeping the 27mm.

I have considered adapting some manual lenses to the Fuji, but unfortunately some eye issues don't make my manual focusing very fast or reliable -at least on an EVF. The old matte screens and the rangefinder patch focusing feel easier and faster to me, personally.
Which is a shame, since I would have particularly Olympus OM and Leica M lenses from 24mm through 135mm which could be fitted through adapters.
