I am not sure that we are talking about the same thing here..BUT I usually press the AF-L on my X-T1, it does focus..then I press the shutter to take the photo... AND I am in autofocus mode... In the menu : AF-L is on AF-L Lock Mode and AE/AF lock mode is on P ( for pressing)

I use 27, 35 and 56 for wedding photography....However, I mostly use the 56mm 80% of the time, and use the 27 for group photos and the dancing at the reception. For Bride and Groom dancing, I use either the 35mm or the 56mm

I thought the same thing.....the focus did not change much in single point AF, and I am still trying to understand those Zone focus as well as Tracking focus to get the most of it ( so I am practicing those two to see how they work best) As far as the eye recognition, I would say that it is a 50/50 chance that the focus does actually find the eye ( but I actually never use face recognition, so I don't care about the feature)

I have also shot weddings with a X-T1 and a X-E1...I mostly use the 27mm, 35mm and 56mm ( I keep the 55-200 in my bag but I rarely use it) I now shoot weddings 100% with fuji since the beginning of 2015. Before that, I was using Canon. The great thing that I love with the 56mm and X-T1 is that I can shoot at F/1.2 and the shot will be in focus. Indoor, during the reception, I like to use my Rovelight flash ( from Adorama...so you can google it if you don't know what it is) and I bounce it on the ceiling ( since the rovelight is so powerful, it does not matter how high it is)....if the walls and ceiling are wooden or dark, then I bounce thru a white umbrella. Sometimes, during the dancing of the guests I pop the Fuji flash (EF 42) on the X-T1 and use a really slow shutter speed... Yes, indoor for dancing the AF might be slower than a DSLR, but ALL cameras have their own limitations and you learn to work around them ps : I also shot an Indian wedding with my X-T1....and we all know that Indian weddings are NOT slow paced!!!!
