Hi Guys,

Before I switched to Fuji I used prime lenses on my Canon DSLR. Previous year, I used a cheap XC 16-50mm on my X-T1.

Now I want to switch to prime lenses again. I bought a Samyang 12mm for Fuji, for the landscapes on my travels and some wide-angle reportage shots. Now I'm in doubt between the 23mm f/2 and the 35mm f/2 beside this 12mm. I will use this one especially for Streetphotography and on travels.

What would you recommend? Are the 12mm and 23mm too close to each other?

They're not too close at all. For me, 23mm is a very useful focal length, 35mm isn't very important. This is just how I seem to see things when I'm imaging photos. Others get a lot out of the 35mm focal length.
