I also have an X-Pro2.

Ditch the 35mm if you have the 23 and the 50. 35mm f2 is neither wide nor intimate enough. You need at least 35mm 1,4 or even better a 0.95. Like the others here, I'm also playing with the idea of getting the 50mm but I have really good vintage 50mm glass.

When I feel the need for a lightweight 50mm with AF, then I won't hesitate to pull the trigger. The only big lens I have left is the mighty ninety. It's the least use with the best images. It's long yet very versatile.

I have sold the 16mm 1.4 recently as I don't want to pay the premium of having a 15cm focusing distance and 1.4 and the penalty of weight when I'm not really using these all that much. Plus, nobody seems to mention bad CA wide-open. However, still a great lens. It's just not for me.
