I elected to buy a Fuji X100S instead of a lens, as it gave me a lightweight and compact backup body as well, albeit a stop slower, and at a marginally higher cost. Over the years, I added the two excellent Fuji screw on lens adapters as well, giving me a 28mm-35mm-50mm kit (all f2) that I could carry with me anywhere with a minimum of fuss. A decision that I have never regretted.
