Re: Xf 35mm f/2 or Xf 50mm f/2?

street, portraits...kind of calls for 2 lenses.  A bit wider focal length is often preferable for street work while longer lenses are often preferred by portrait shooters.

The 35mm lens is closest to "normal" and is what I prefer.

I would suggest though that you consider the faster version of either lens.  They're more costly but are quite a bit better optics.  The trade off other than $$ is better low light performance vs better weather performance.  You more often shoot in low light or in rain?
