The new 18mm is supposed to be lovely but it’s not small. I have the 16mm f2.8, it’s a great lens and very compact, if you don’t mind losing a bit of light. I used to have the f1.4 and while it was a lovely lens I never took it anywhere because it was so big.
The f2 35mm and 23mm lenses are decent compact lenses for walking around - the 35mm is optically excellent and the 23mm is decent but not as good. There are a lot of fast manual lenses available now too - I’ve been using the Voigtlander 23mm f1.2 and it’s lovely, very classic looking rendering (albeit not pin-sharp) and a relatively easy focal length for manual focus. It’s also very compact.

What’s the word on Fuji lenses? Always used an 18 and 35. Mostly 18.
Been out of the loop a while and don’t know what’s about these days. Landscape has grown massively.
I shoot wide and close. I like being compact and non obtrusive. I tend to shoot quickly and move on.
