In terms of quality, the 1.4 and 2.0 are, I've found, about equal. I haven't any great use for the extra 'speed' of the 1.4 as I tend to shoot at f/4 or f/5.6 anyway, so this added two-thirds stop isn't a great plus for me.

I'm all for the 23mm f/2 and I use it on regular basis on my x-pro2.

  1. Small, extra fast focusing. It make my x-pro2 ok to use on moving people (even joggers, not running dogs).
  2. Why carry something heavier and bigger than you will not use? You said f/4-f/5.6.
  3. The 23mm f/2 is quite weather resistant. I have used it in heavy drizzle in Newfoundland, Canada. This is constant rain, where it accumulates 40-50-60mm of rain...
  4. It's cheap

Good luck and most importantly: enjoy your trip
