As the X-Pro1/X-E1 are APS-C sensors you need something in the 23mm-25mm 
range to get an angle of view similar to 35mm on full frame....

If we are talking about the Fuji X series, the 35mm 1.4 is an excellent
lens.  Pretty close focusing and very closely integrated with the "brains"
of the XPro to be very low vignette and really pretty flat field.  Results
at 1600 were very good noise wise.  Just my two cents thinking about my
order for the M240 vs the X series.
