The 90 is my most used lens. I shot many events with it on the X-Pro 2 over the years. For events I usually use SS in the 1/100 to 1/200 range depending on how active the people are and how tired or caffeinated I am

As M0rris said, just use a higher ISO if you need it.

The 90s minimum focus distance is quite close as well which is useful in a crowded event situation.

Here's an event shot taken in low light with the 90 and X-Pro 2.
It's a fine lens. Very fine.

Hope that helps.

Thanks. I'm lean gin towards the 90, also because it would be nice to not just duplicate my FF kit. My guess is I can manage with a 35/1.4 and 90/2.0 combo for portraits.
