I must get one for my X100S as sometimes a 50mm would be handy and help correct some of the building distortion I get. On the images, while all are great and very crisp, the one that stands out is the daily wage labourer. I don't know what age he is, but the years have been hard, judging on the condition of his eyes. Did you talk to him and get a back story?
