Re: Which prime lens + 16-80 for Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand - 35mm f/1.4

My vote would go for XF 35mm f/1.4 - it`s similar to my travel kit, where besides XF 16-80mm f/4 (all-around, daylight) I also take Mitakon 35mm f/0.95 (artistic, night) and Samyang (Rokinon) 8mm f/2.8 fisheye (land or cityscapes).

Having a fast prime somewhere in the middle of the slower zoom range is a common two-lens zoom/prime kit, where I find 35mm more useful for subject separation than 23mm (and zoom already covers the wide(r) end anyway), while still not too tight for later night shots (and having an extra stop of light over f/2 helps, too).
