For me, the 35f2 is one of my favorite lenses. Small, lightweight, and good IQ across its aperture range. I tend to use it stopped down for landscape work.

The 23f2 surprised me recently being able to use it with stacking and some astro work. It occurred to me that if people had to stop down the 23f1.4 a stop or two anyway to get good astro results, why not try the 23f2? And it worked out okay.

I don't have the 50. I'm not crazy about the focal length. I use the 60 instead.

I'm really looking forward to the 16f2.8. That's one of my preferred focal lengths, and for whatever reason, when I rented the 16f1.4, I didn't enjoy using it that much. Great IQ as everyone knows, just didn't enjoy shooting with it.

Bottom line, the two of the "trinity" that I have give me WR on my X-T1 (I haven't decided whether to upgrade to an X-T3 or wait yet), and they are a great lightweight kit with my x-T20.
