Did the long and winding drive up to Haleakala (with wife and kids all of whom get car sickness) hoping to catch the evening light in the crater and sunset from the top. Got to the crater overlook and managed just a couple of shots before the clouds slammed down on us and that was that. it was worth it (to me) as you can see in the first shot but it lasted all of five and a half minutes between the first shot and total white out as shown in the second.
The third shot was on the way back down after emerging from the dense clouds.

That first one is spot on Rick. Too bad you lost the light that quick.

Both are excellent. I always love B&W so this is my preference. Recently I have been using the Fuji Standard Negative profile in Lr particularly for portraits as it brings out the subtleties that the 24MP Xtrans sensor is very capable off.

I believe you sold the 16/1.4 and picked up the 10-24
Are you liking it better?
Does it weigh and balance about the same?

Both are really, really good lens, so I can't say one is that much better than the other. There is some cool stuff you can do with the 16/1.4 such as focus very close, and shot wide open, which gives a unique wide FoV but with tons of subject isolation.
The 10-24 is strong in its own right, giving a very useful focal range from ultra wide angle 15mm equiv to a semi-normal 35mm equiv., so its like having a bag of classic focal lengths of 16, 18, 21, 24, 28 and even 35mm all in one lens, and unlike a lot of wide zooms, the 10-24 is good over the whole range, unlike say as Sony 16-35, which is more of a 16-24 if you know what I mean lol. The 10-24 also has OIS which is handy for a lot of shooting, though the 16/1.4 is 3 stops faster so that can prove useful too, depends what your shooting...
16mm is WR, 10-24 isn't but both seem built pretty solid. Given I shoot around salt water, I try not to take too many chances with either getting splashed, nor my camera, WR or not, salt water is bad stuff for electronics and while people may feel safe housing off some WR cameras under the sink, salt water is a different story...
16mm is a pretty big lens, 10-24 isn't exactly small either, and if I'm honest, the 16/1.4 handles better of the two, yet I can't say either is ideal for a walk around. Something like the 18/2 or 35/1.4 just feels much more balanced on the XT2, at least sans grip.
Overall, while the 16/1.4 is very good, I was mainly shooting it stopped down a bit, at least for the typical beach stuff I shoot, and at similar aperture, the 10-24 looks just as good to my eyes, and of course can give me the option of going wider/tighter with the zoom ring.
Doesn't really make sense to carry both at once though, due to the overlap, and at least for stuff like I do, ie; walking on the beach, I found that when I had the 16/1.4 I sometimes wishes I could go wider, say for some cloud formations, while when I was carrying the 10-24 I didn't really find myself in situations where I wish I could shoot with a larger aperture.

It's been really smoky here in Seattle due to forest fires in BC. Unhealthful air. Worse that Beijing and Calcutta apparently. Made it more challenging than in years past but the X-T2 / 100-400 came through.
Love the Blue Angels.

Took a fair amount of Snapseeding to get the grey out of the sky.
Here's what it really looked like at a distance...

I have rented the 16/1.4 for a week. A very nice lens but limited for me
Shooting wide open at the wide is something I don't do often
I am going on a 10 day cruise in November and may pick up the 10-24 before then
Having the OIS would be nice on the 10-24
Though I am still very happy with the 18-55 zoom

So I took a trip to Boston with the family. Mostly shot while doing activities with the family, though I did get out on my own once for some early morning shooting. All X-T20.

10-24 and the 35/1.4 make a pretty nice little combo. While the 18-55 is by all means a great lens, I found in my usage I was either shooting it at 18mm, about 80% of the time, or at close to 55mm about 15% of the time. I just really wasn't using much in the middle range, which might come down to just me, but it was essentially wide as I could get for landscapes, or for a people shot, I'd just zoom in as much as I could, and 55mm f4 doesn't always give ideal subject separation.
With the 10-24 you get some extra range on either side of the 18mm setting, and instead of shooting a portraity type shot at 55mm f4, you could shoot it at 35mm f1.4 and get that lovely rendering of the 35/1.4
Fuji doesn't really make any bad lenses, so its darn tough to choose as they all have their strong points, but at the same time, I've also gone on trips where I've taken the kitchen sink, essentially 10-24, 16, 23, 35, 56, and 55-200 or 50-140 etc and it just ends up being a pretty heavy bag. Sometimes its a question of not what lenses are best, but simply what lenses can fulfill a range of needs and allow some other ones to be left behind
