honestly im just so fed up with my 23mm f2 right now. i bought it because everyone says its the gold standard for street on the x-pro3 but i swear every photo i take lately looks so flat and boring. my logic was that the 35mm equivalent would be perfect for just walking around downtown chicago but everything feels way too far away or just lacking any kind of character. it feels like i'm shooting with a phone sometimes and it's making me not even want to bring the camera out anymore which sucks because i have this big trip to nyc coming up in three weeks.

i was thinking about maybe the 35mm f1.4 since people say it has that special magic or whatever but then im worried itll be too tight when i'm in a crowded spot. or maybe i go the other way and try the 18mm? i have around 700 bucks to spend on something new and i really need to find a prime that actually feels fun to use. i keep looking at reviews but they all say something different and im just stuck. what are you guys actually using on the xpro bodies that doesnt feel so clinical and perfect all the time...
