I love those lenses. They are awesome.

Greg loves them. In fact the only Fuji X lens Greg doesn't love is the Brick ;-). I don't consider a 35 (sorry I'm an old guy) worth having because it is caught in no man's land between the 28 (or put 24 if you want here) and the 50. It is short but not much shorter than the 50 and usually not short enough. For me It is not worth carrying since you can make either the 28 or 50 work. I much prefer the rendering of the 35 f1.4 to the 35 f2. I know that is that  touchy feely rendering thing. I do like the 50 f2. It is not as good as the 56 and its rendering is a bit sterile but it is enough shorter it can be used easier on the street and it is a heck a lot smaller and lighter than the 56 to carry around.

So my line up of Fuji lenses for the Pro2 is 18 (28), 35 (50), 50 (75), 56 (85) and 90 (135). You don't see zooms because I don't do zooms on my Pro2 and have sold the zooms I tried on my Nikon.  Zooms are way to sterile for me.  No character whatsoever.
