When I first got the X-Pro1 and 35mm 1.4, I though the lens was way to big (being used to small m mount lenses). However, once I used it, I knew it was a worth dealing with the extra size because it is one of my favorites ever. Currently, I'm going through the same thing with the 23mm 1.4... it f-ing HUGE... but it is also top notch. Sometimes, big lenses are worth using. I hope this makes sense because I'm a little bit buzzed. 😉
