Very much agree with this suggestion. The 23f2 and 35f2 would both suit your travel sized and low light needs, but are very different focal lengths. You need to decide what sort of perspective suits your shooting.

I have a Helos 44-M4 which I love. Here's some photos taken with X-T1 => Mitakon adapter v2 => Helios https://1x.com/photo/1176352/all:user:592739 https://1x.com/photo/1174662/all:user:592739 https://1x.com/photo/1048272/all:user:592739

Classic chrome, baby!

I rented an X-Pro2 to try it out for night photography. The new sensor is absolutely wonderful for night shots, gathering a ton of detail and color. The focusing is good on anything that's even slightly illuminated. Focusing on bright stars, I noticed it missed focus slightly about 50% of the time. I attached a sample, view the others on my 1x.com page https://1x.com/photo/1187220/all:user:592739 https://1x.com/photo/1188080/all:user:592739 https://1x.com/photo/1188087/all:user:592739

Hi all. Long time X-T1 shooter, I have been testing an X-Pro2. As you know, many Fuji shooters (myself included) who process in Lightroom sharpen with the Detail slider near 100%, as this seems to get the crispest results with least artifacts. In my processing of files from the X-Pro2 I noticed that the images no longer take high Detail well. To my eyes it created noise without adding sharpness. Good news is the files sharpened well with the detail slide around 20-30% (which is what I generally use for cameras other than Fuji). Any of you have the same experience? ---- Addendum: I made some images with the X-Pro2 that demonstrate this. I sharpened with high-detail sharpening at my standard settings for my X-T1, and then again with the detail slider at 25 and tried to match the amount of sharpness. To my eyes, the low-detail sharpening is just as sharp, but with a smoother, less prominent grain artifact. There is not a lot of difference in this iso200 image, but with grainier starting images, I think the low-detail sharpening will be the clearer winner.

I'll chime in that I recently switched over to Breakthrough ND filters (screw on type) and they're optically excellent with minimal color cast. May be worth taking a look if you want great image quality without the hassle of a mounting system.
