27mm owners?

Not good news for my wallet...23 f1,4 seems very good:

ever since getting (and loving) the x100 i have been thinking about selling the 27 and the 35 and getting the new 23…
the 27 is nice & small but the x100 is smaller than the xe-1/27 combo…
the 35 is deadly sharp but so, it seems, is the 23…

it would be a nice kit…18/23/60…a 3 lens kit is my favourite.

I can't see the sense when you have 35mm in the X100 BA.

the x100 is a separate beast to me…for a one camera/one lens set up…for travelling light.

....don't know if keep the 27 Pancake or swap it with this new one...
The problem is I just take this bag:

I don't know if I can store the camera with the new lens inside it...

I can use the bag, so I did it just saturday...23 is big a lot, camera use change a lot...

Despite what I've said in this thread, I am now interested in the 23mm even with owning the X100s.

js,

You would enjoy the 23/1.4. I use an eBay third-party vented hood. Despite the length of the lens, it's easier for me to carry the 23/1.4 than the X100 along with my X-Pro 1.

I love the X100/100S. But I sold mine after using the 23/1.4 for a few weeks.

i'm torn…i like the x100…it's a great, small and fun camera to carry around.
but i want the 14mm and can't afford it right now so i'm thinking of selling it and the 18 in order to facilitate getting a 14 again!!!!
after getting a second xe-1 body the x100 seems like a real luxury item for me now.
