On the gap between 23mm and 50mm..... In my kit it's the gap between 23mm and 60mm. The 35mm FL isn't my favorite and I don't notice it a lot of the time. However, sometimes subjects crop up where the 35mm is THE answer, and of course then I do notice it. The only solution is to carry four lenses, but I really just don't want to if I'm carrying a full pack as well, so it's the 35mm that gets left at home. I wouldn't swap the 23m or 60mm for the 35mm in my trio.

I agree strongly with these lines. I equally do not really want to carry 4 lenses just for those times where the gap might be annoying. In all likelihood, I would carry 18/23/50 unless I do notice repeat pains of missed shots that would have demanded a 35mm. Which I don't expect to happen, as 50mm is my most underused lens on the Leica and Olympus, and I have not missed an equivalent on my Fuji yet.
