I was just thinking that for shorter trips the 35mm f2 would work well, till I realized that the X100S would probably work even better! Sometimes my brain gets fogged up when talking equipment, and in the excitement of something new appearing, I forget that I have a perfectly good solution with me already! Luckily, most times I realize that in time! Not always, though!
