I really don’t think that the dimensions or weight of these two lenses will be a game changer to prefer one lens ove the other.

 

I am sure that when this lens will officially come out, lots of comparative tests will sprout everywhere to compare image quality, performance at fully open aperture ( sometimes one wonders why do some people even bother buying lenses that can close the aperture since all they want is shooting fully open), and the autofocus performance, both in terms of speed and in terms of noise.

 

The fact that one is weather resistant might just be a slight advantage but not if ( like in the example given above) this is going to be the Ideal companion of an NON weather resistant body as it is with the X-T10.

Hopefully, the new 35/2 will relate to the 35/1.4 like the Summicron is to the Summilux. More even performance across the frame and a slightly higher resolution in the center. Quieter, faster AF would help. At a slightly lower price it will sell very well even next to the 35/1.4 - some folks will opt for the speed, some for the small size and resolution. But I probably wouldn't sell my 35/1.4 to get the new lens. I don't think the WR is that big of a deal. Without an IPX rating, it's just marketing. It's good to have, but for goodness sakes don't rely on it.
