About to dive in: Is X-E3 + 35mm f1.4 a good 'single prime' camera choice?

Pair the 35/1.4 with a 18/2

This is a sweet combination, very light and 2 different FOV.  I love the 18 on the X-E2.  The 35/1.4 doubles the focal length of the 18mm, which is fast becoming a favorite lens on this forum after a long period of negative comments. The 18 will fit in you pocket and is a beautiful compliment to the 35/14.  BTW....as it relates to the suggestions of a 23mm fuji.  Keep in mind while it may give you a 35mm FOV on a Fuji sensor, is still has the perspective of a 23mm.  I have a 24mm on a full frame Canon and would be the last lens I would choose for a portrait with the facial distortion it would give, other than perhaps a shot of man in his environment type of photograph.  I do use the 18mm for that type of shot.  The same applies to the 35/1.4 but is is more forgiving and quite acceptable to me and others for portraits.

Be careful how you interpret the world: It is like that.
