Looked at in isolation, the difference in size/weight between the 33mm f/1.4 and the 35mm f/1.4 is arguably not earth-shaking. (I’d argue that same about IQ, but that’s a different issue.)
But when the smaller versus larger issues play out over a system the impact is more significant. The difference between carrying, say, a XH2 weigh the 23mm f/1.4, 33mm f/1.4, 56mm f/1.2 versus, say, a XE5 with the 23mm f/2.8, 35mm f/1.4, and 50mm f/2 starts to become more significant.
In some cases, the downsides of the extra size and weight aren’t critical, but in others they can be.
