Hello guys, need some advice before entering a new system (fujifilm).

My only digital camera is the xe1 I picked a few days ago but I am having issues deciding on a lens.

For street I have been using small rangefinders with 35mm FL so I guess I'm covered in that front.

Now, with digital, I need a multi purpose lens for close up subjects in a studio and also full body shots of people.

Would love to have only one lens for most stuff at least until September when I receive a new paycheck.

Right now my budget is limited to 500bucks or so.

What I value more in a lens? Aperture ring, solid build and smallish size.

The 35 1.4 seems the obvious choice, but some people say its only ok. And i wonder if it's worth the price.

Also, most decent legacy lens are 50 and 35mm. So it coule be redundanct to get the 35 from fuji.

The 18-55 looks good but a bit too big and while decent across the frame it's not exceptoonal.

Would appreciate advice, especially from someone that used the 35mm already.

I tried the gear thread but no success.
