More thoughts...
The XF 14 lens:
So this is a good example of the distortion in the corners that you get with something this wide. It's sometimes useful, sometimes not. I have to be careful with it, not to get faces too near the corners. I like this level of it - it's distorted, but I don't mind this amount. This was shot straight into the sun with nothing but a UV filter on it, yet the colors and exposure came through wonderfully.
A cropped 14 shot:
This crop was about 85% of the total image, and I found myself doing that with many of the 14's shots in post. It's not too burdensome, and I'm glad I have the full width when I want it, but it's a strong hint that I'd have been happier having something more like my X100's 35 equiv as a knock-around "default" lens, only to dig out the wide and long stuff here and there. Later in the day this was confirmed when I put on my friend's 27 f2.8 pancake XF lens, looked through, and said "oh GOD yes, that's what I'm looking for." The 50 equiv was often too long, and the 21 equiv was often too wide. More on this later...
The 35 f1.4:
...renders so wonderfully. This was an over-exposed shot that I tone mapped and then pulled back down, and I love how airy it looks, yet it still has Jon exposed nicely (holding his lady's Soma, as he had just tweaked her gears to give her back her granny gear).
The XF 14 2.8 lens, all 3 SOOC:
We finished a 25 mile ride, hit the beer store, and went straight to a party.
XF 27 f2.8 pancake lens:
My buddy has the XE-1, the kit 18-55, and this pancake. I love the size of it, but before I used it I figured it was too slow and optically not up to par with the big fast primes. Plus I have the "50," so a "40" is redundant, right? Wrong. I want it, now. It's just that touch wider that would make a 50 twice as usable for just knocking around. It's friggin' TINY. It might even focus faster than the 14, which I had heard was the fastest Fuji lens on the X-T1. I used it for an hour, and I didn't want to give it back.
I can see a difference between it and the 35. It washes out easier, it isn't quite as crisp. But it's MORE than crisp enough for the shots I would use it for... when I have the camera slung on my back and suddenly think "oh I should take a picture of that." Both these 2 shots have had a little contrast added.
