I have all three first getting the 23mm which came with my X-E3. I soon added afterwards once finding it used for a good price, the 35mm. Now as for use I tend to use the 23mm more so for street, some environmental portraits and street scenes. I eventually added the 50mm but i really don't use it that much, its's mainly used for portraits for which I find it to be really great and responsive. I don't care for the manual focusing on any of them, but i think thats more due to the focus by wire and how easily the scale jumps to one end sometimes. Recently I added the 18mm f2 and thats been glued to my X-E3. I truly love this lens and because it my 23mm now see little less action, again this is more due to my preference for wider views especially when it comes to street for i like to get close when shooting, then take a few citycapes etc afterwards.  I've been trying out the X-Pro 2 mostly for its weather sealing because i'm that guy who'll shoot under any condition, and I find using all three, well 4 on it just feels right at home. Only problems so far is with the X-E3 being newer, it just feels more responsive than the X-Pro 2. I love the OVF  but the overall responsiveness just seems a bit behind even with high performance on. I also miss having the option of Bluetooth geo tagging for i tend to walk various areas and neighborhoods and its very helpful to keep track where my shots have been taken. I would say all three are very great and portable, if my my Nikon equivalents were as compact and not as heavy as they are, i probably would have never tried Fuji
