Will the XF50 complement the XF18-55 nicely?

Re: Will the XF50 complement the XF18-55 nicely?

I would probably go with 35mm (or even wider). That is because I think 50mm is a very difficult focal length on a APS-C sensor.  I find way too often that I cannot get the shot I want, because I my back hits the wall behind me.  To see if that's true for you, I suggest you test some of the situations and the scenes you like to shoot, set your 18-55mm at 50mm, and then do not touch the zoom (Maybe use a bit of tape if you cannot control your fingers).  Then do the same with 35mm.  That should give you an idea which focal length works best for you
