Indoor means 1-8 people, and fairly tight spaces however I would say that the goal would be to place them in a context. And I want a 1.4 aperture lens, because I am taking pictures of children indoor, and I want to disturb them as little as possible. Right now, I am reading that the 16mm makes sense since it complements the 35mm more. however, there could be problem with distortion. With a 16mm are there any guidelines as to how far you would have to be from the subject, until the distortion becomes negligible? And thank you both

Ok, so first off, my knowledge about photography is still pretty limited.. however some time ago I bought a X-E1 and the 35mm lens, mainly to be able to take pictures of my family indoor without a flash. it works fairly well, (actually I love the camera ) but often I find the lens to be to long. so I wanted a shorter one. but I am torn between the 16mm and 23mm. now.. I know that you cant tell me what i will prefer, but since I dont have any real preferences, i would like to hear your own opinions. I am thinking that the 16mm would be well suited, but then I suddenly read about distortions, and peoples noses getting to big.... and all of the sudden I am confused again so.. I am hoping someone have the time to help a fairly new x shooter
