What would you chose? I know my preference and main emphasis lies somewhere between low light, indoor and street capability with good bokeh. The F2 loses one stop but provides marginally better auto focusing. Does anybody have any experience of these two lenses?
 
I'd read the AF was marginal due to recent firmware updates and improvements?

Here are my results so far. I only have 3 Fuji X lenses currently.

35/1.4 the most dramatic change. Lens just gets to focus without rocking back and forth. Amazing for this lens. All of the sudden it is like a different lens!!!
18-135. I tried to lower the light in my bedroom and focus at tele end. It is usually a slow lens to focus in low light. Result - much quicker acquisition.
56/1.2 seems to be no changes whatsoever with how that lens focused with previous firmware.
