Fast manual focus primes for Fuji X

I'll start by getting to the point before waffling on about the back story. Basically, I'm looking for suggestions on fast manual focus primes for Fuji X mount.

I've just sold all of my Fuji lenses as they're covered by another system and weren't getting used. That leaves me with an X-T2 body that doesn't seem worth selling or perhaps I simply don't want to sell.

Part of me is tempted to get another copy of the 35mm f1.4 (not one of the lenses I just sold) but, again, this FL is covered elsewhere.

I'm thinking a compact prime somewhere between 28mm and 50mm (apsc) with an ultra-fast aperture, maybe f0.95 to f1.2, would give me reason to pick up the X-T2 over my other kit from time to time.

I don't need clinical sharpness but I would want usable results wide open as a I often shoot wide open at night.

I've found a couple of 35mm f0.95 options that look interesting but I wonder if anyone here has alternative suggestions or any experience worth sharing (thing to look out for, etc.).

Many thanks
