For those of you who have some experience with this combo, is this pair fast enough for street action? Thanks in advance!

My first Fuji was an xe2 with the xf 35 f2. They worked great together. Can’t see why it would not work.

I have tried some street with my x-e2 and 35mm 1.4, but could never get moving people in focus. Thanks for the feedback!

If possible could you post a street photo or two with this combo?

The camera will not focus on moving people. If you want to shoot fast action or from the hip, you have to use manual focus: prefocus at a known distance and shoot when your subject is at the correct distance.

For example, focus on a street sign, and when you see people walk by the sign, you can shoot. Or you focus at 2m-6ft, and when you think people are at that distance from you, you can click and the shot will have the correct focus.

With some practice, in good light, with  f8 or f11, it works quite okay., Photographer have done it for decades.
