There are so many more options with the 10-24 over the 16 (although the 16 is a fantastic lens). I'm just not a prime guy...
I recently took a trip to Boston and Maine. It was my first outing with the 10-24. I also took the 27 and the 18-135. Prior to the trip I was expecting that I would be using the 18-135 for 80% of my shots because of it's large zoom range (and good image quality). Boy was I wrong! I took over 75% of the shots with the 10-24. I only used the 18-135 for longer reach. The shot stats showed that the larger percentage of my shots were in the 14-24 range (21-35 equivalent), but oddly enough, the single most focal length used at 10 (15 equivalent). I had lots at the 24 (35 equivalent) length, but that's understandable because I simply chose to use the lens that was on the camera (10-24) at it's longest length instead of swapping out to the 18-135 for maybe only a little more reach.
The 10-24 is a truly outstanding lens, and so is the 18-135. One thing that seems to hold true regardless. Pick a lens, stick with it, and learn to "see the world" through the eyes of that lens. You'll worry less about "which lens do I need for this shot" and enjoy your trip more. If I was taking a trip today and could take only one lens, it would be the 18-135 simply because it has more range than the 10-24. However, when I take both lenses, the 10-24 is the one on the camera when I start out, and then I only switch to the 18-135 when I need the extra reach.
Here's a link to my flickr album of the shots: https://www.flickr.c...157658417469231
The 35 F2 is faster AF than the F1.4 but the F 1.4 is faster aperture, ie you will be able to blur backgrounds more.
Not only that I find the rendering on the F1.4 to be nicer, at this point its a purely subjective thing, they are both sharp fantastically executed lens. The F2 is sligthly more clinical and the F1.4 is warmer, more film like and better for Portrait. They both excel at Street.
Fast AF is not everything, also the 35mm has rarely let me down in most conditions. We are talking fairly small differences these days with a X-E2/X-E2s, X-T1 or X_T10 or X-Pro2 body when it comes to AF.
All my favorite pictures in this system have come from the 35mm F1.4 including those of my daughter. I have one of her that is probably my proudest moment. However I don't share pictures of my daugther on the internet.
I have jsut put a gallery of 90mm street images up in this forum and you can check out my flickr stuff here, have a look at the 35mm images.

Specifically have a look at Team Building a great image from my 35mm. Also my avatar of the lightbulb was shot with the 35mm.
