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?

I would disagree with this when it comes to the 35 f2. I think it produces a better image than the faster version, which is rare when the f2 lens is better in the Fuji lineup.

The 50 f2 is a lens that I would not ever even consider buying. If you are going to shoot this somewhat limited FL, you may as well get the amazing 56 f1.2.

That last statement is a bit sensationalist. It really depends on what your needs are. I went with the 50 over the 56 for a few reasons, and that's not even factoring cost into the equation.
