I have a Duluth "tradesman's" vest with the 56mm 1.2 in one pocket and the 14mm 2.8 in another.? At the hotel I have another Fuji body and a 35mm 1.4 as a backup.? I use the 23mm and the 14mm about 75% of the time...maybe I should sell a kidney and look into the Leica Q.? Just one little package to lug around.
