XH2 and 33mm 1.4 for all around shooting?

33 no doubt, you can almost always step forward, but lots of times you can't step back.

X-H2 with the 33 seems like a dream set up

Honestly, having just bought the 33, and absolutely adoring it otherwise, there are points where I wish I had something wider.

The 33 would pair nicely with the 18.

I prefer to use the 33 with a 16-80 for the flexibility.

Horses for courses as they say.

Not having issues with my X-T5. Using XF18mm and 33mm LM WR lenses.

I am currently using a X100V, however, while the camera is amazing for street and landscape, it does lack when it comes to Portraits. Apart from missing out on background compression, I also have to stand around 20-30 cm away from an object to get a nice booked blue (for portrait).

Therefore, I am currently considering upgrading to either the XH2 with 33mm 1.4 WR, or the XH2 with 56mm 1.2 WR. I am aware that the 56mm is superior for portraits, however am afraid it will have it limits for street photography (due to the zoom and not being able to walk backwards very fast on most occasions). Nevertheless, please correct me when I am wrong.

Can anyone share their experience with the 33mm 1.4 as an all around lens for street and portrait?

For me, the 33 mm is the best lens for street photography because there is less distorsion perspective problem than UW lenses. Most of my best streets shots are taken with this combo.
