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

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

I have both 35mm with xpro 2 and xe3 bodies

the 35 f1.4 is the CLEAR winner in lens character beauty, “zeiss like” deep hard to explain 3D like compared to the f2. Sure  .. the f2 is quicker to AF in certain light, smaller and weather sealed... but weather sealing means nothing if your camera isn’t, and quite frankly ... WS is a crock ... in general

anyway the 35f1.4 built like a tank, fast lens, gorgeous character lens with very nice bokeh

I’m a 1.4 vote
