I thought why not addind a small camera for everyday.. found a used X100T tried it and it was quiet nice but a bit like a toy.. the focus was not there on bright day.. I live in a warm country where this is standart .. and it can shoot only 1/1000 wide open..

You’ve had a different X100T to me… not sure in what way it’s “like a toy”, the AF should be fine in bright light (it’s pretty lacking in low light) and it’ll go to 1/32,000 wide open if you allow it to use the electronic shutter.

It's hard to explain exactly... it's the general feel add to that the camera had hard tim focusing on sometimes and the writing to the card was slow.. take in account I'm used to the Z6

Today I ordered the X-e4 kit with the 27mm.. but I think I will sell the lens right away. From what I see it's not that great .. slow noisy focus and only F2.8 ..

We must have different standards in terms of AF… the 27 focuses fast enough for me on my X-T2, though granted it certainly isn’t silent. I find that AF speed is somewhat dependent on the AF mode you use: if I want it fast, I tend to use the smallest central zone, the level above the largest single-point area as you scroll through in “All” mode.

If you’re looking for small and light for mainly street photography then it seems to me you already have the ideal setup (other than an X100V). The 27 is the smallest and lightest Fuji lens (unless you count the XM-FL), it’s sharp, and for many folks it’s an ideal street focal length.

As for which lens to replace it with, this is surely a matter of your preferred focal length. Once you know that then broadly speaking you have the choice of the smaller, faster-focusing f/2 options or the f/1.4

I also have the Voightlander 40mm 1.4 .. but on an APS-C it will be cropped as a 60mm focal lenght .. a bit too tight.. might work for portraites..
