Fuji X Series

On a different note, does anyone store their X100 series flat? I've heard this is better for the leaf shutter than storing it upright. Less stress and less chance of it jamming.

Never heard of this. My x100V is typically upright in a camera bag or storage though, so my peace of mind is eased :)

You must have seen it in a YouTube video, where I heard it from last month.

If a £1700 camera has issues with been stored upright then maybe its not worth £1700 :D

I don’t know much more than what was mentioned on the video I saw. He seems to suggest it has happened to him and it’s unique to leaf shutters.

I’ve had both and returned them to ponder. I don’t like the size and weight of the new 1.4s but I love the results. The 35 f2 is a lovely size but doesn’t have that wow factor.

Well....I have the 23/1.4 and 35/1.4 too, normally I got with the 35/1.4 because it is smaller.
 
When I take the 35 I end up taking less photos but more of them are interesting. The 23 is more "versatile" I suppose, but I end up with mostly boring snaps. Although I realise that's a me problem, not a lens problem.

Subjectively the 35 seems to have warmer colours, but I have no data to back that up.

How’s the 35 on the 40mp sensor?

This is the way I’m leaning with my assessment. The 23 takes good documentary photos but they are less interesting. The 35/33 take photos that have that little extra something. They are clearly set apart from phone snaps, they look like they are taken on a proper camera. Which is kind of what I’m looking for, photos that are special.
 
33mm 1.4 I think, the weight isn’t a huge deal. I use a wrist strap anyway and camera is bagged when not in use.

The 33mm gets me the most excited to photograph things.
