My wife and I have a trip to Egypt planed for this year and I am considering buying either the 14mm f2.8 or 10-24mm f4 lens for the trip. Any advice? My camera is an X-T2.

Is that the only lens you will carry? If not, what other lenses will you use it with?

Right now I plan to also take my XC 16-50mm. I'm also considering buying the XF 16-80mm. Not sure whether to also take the XC 50-230mm or not.

First of all. I think you made a good choice with the 10-24. I always kick myself when I leave it at home. Usually because I take the 16-55.  I tend to use it at the extremes though. So for me the 10-24 works well. The depending on my plans I’ll take a fast prime, usually the 35 1.4.  I almost always take my XC 50-230 unless I have a specific reason to take the 100-400. The 50-230 weighs almost nothing and while a bit soft at the long end it’s a better than average lens.  I’d  definitely take it as a zoom option.
