XC 15-45mm or XF 27mm or XF 18mm... I shoot mostly landscapes / travel

Hey there,
I'm likely to purchase either the X-E3 or X-T20 in the next week or so, and I really want to pair that with an effective but lightweight and 'jacket pocketable' lens.

With that said, I'm landing mostly on the three aforementioned lenses:

• XC 15-45mm. Love the versatility in the lens, as typically I have almost never been a cropper in post processing... but I'm wondering how it holds up at the 15mm side against the others?

• XF 27mm. Obviously takes the cake with terms of size and portability. I've also read it's extremely sharp. However, on the down side, it's a 41mm converted, and I'm thinking that is not so ideal for landscape, but perhaps for travel it is.

• XF 18mm. Maybe a good lens as well. I've read mixed things about it.

Thoughts? Things I'm not considering? I am also open to other X-mount lenses, like 7artisans. I'm OK if the lens is only manual focusing.

I could also imagine a situation where I use the 15-45 for almost everything, and have a specialized 'super landscape' lens as well.

Lastly, anyone want to sell their X-E3 with these lenses?

All the best,
Eric
