Good lord. EXCELLENT shots, Ray. It's bonus season at work... You probably know enough about me to answer this, I would think. If I were to spring for an addition to the X100, and were teetering between the XE-2 and the XT-1, is the T worth the extra $400? I should say that contrary to common sense I am thinking I don't want the kit zoom. I've played with one on an XE-1 and I just like fast primes better. What I lack now that I want from another setup (and in this order) is:
1. Something wider than the 35 equiv I have now, and I mean wider than a 28 ideally, for interior shots and often in low light
2. Something in the 50's length that's fast as hell
3. Something in the 80's
So I clearly want that 35 1.4 lens for #2. On the wide end for #1 there seem to be a lot of tradeoffs. There's the BIG 14 2.8 with mixed reviews. There's the fast but not-quite-wide-enough (but fantastically tiny) 18 f2 with good reviews. There's the forthcoming 10-24 f4 zoom that, while not fast, has OIS, and covers the entire range I'd want up to the X100's 35mm equiv, but costs a grand by itself.
Egads.
I'd likely order the 18 f2 pancake, and the 35 1.4. Given that, is the T worth another $400 to you, Ray? I prize portability pretty highly. The T doesn't SEEM to be monstrously bigger.
