Love the first shot. This is what great street photography can look like.

I had the 56 f1.2 and sold it as rarely used it because it is so big. Replaced it with the f2 and never looked back. The AF is faster and when it is on my X-T2 it balances a lot better on it. The weather sealing was another big factor in switching.

Thanks !! That was my thought as well. I have seen some great street shots of the 56mm one from various users, most notably from Eren Sarigul and Craig Whitehead (I think Craig uses primarily that lens while Eren not that much) as well as Nadines.77 on Instagram so it is definitely usable for such stuff but I am not on par with them so the 50mm was a safer and a more practical choice.
