I?ve used both. Ended with Sony because of IBIS & crop able 50MP. Use all my 
M lenses on it. Nice to use the 75/2 ! Though a lot of press on WAs ?issues 
at the edges? on the Sony, I?ve shot the 35 ?lux with no real world issues. 
I?ve used the 21/3.5 for star photos as light distortion at the edges 
doesn?t usually matter. C1 has built in distortion and aberration correction 
for both Fuji and Sony lenses. 

The 50/1.4 & 1.0 are ? black cat in coal mine? shooters. Do miss the range 
finder capabilities,  it that?s not so great, IMO, with Fuji. The native 
Sony lenses are pretty great too. If you have grand kids, eye focus and 
continual focus is terrific (or wildlife). 
Hope this helps,
Bob
