The 14 is tempting i must admit!
I've always wanted a red ring though...
Didn't your Samyang 8mm have one (so you've ticked that box)!!!

Seriously though, if you think you're going to get a 16mm zoom, then I would go for the 12mm. If you think you're going to stick with the 18mm or 18mm zoom, then the 14mm is a nice option. It's a lovely lens

Lmfao. Brilliant.
The X-T1 is the top of the pile @Danones but any one of the Fuji's are more than good enough. Focus can be a little testing on the older bodies but still plenty good enough.

I did really like the perspective that the 12mm gave and the lens felt very nice indeed. Better built than the 8mm for sure.

Sorry for being vague Karen, I was commenting on the fly.
I like the first one, I think it's the more subtle of the set and the scene looks lovely. The other two are overdone as you can see from ghosting around the foliage and have a very unnatural looking sky. The third no longer looks like a photograph which is a real shame as I quit like the simplicity of the shot.

Shot with the Samyang 12mm, just a little crop otherwise SOOC. Put the focus ring to infinity and on f8 and it's pretty good for a 'cheap' lens.

Thank you for taking time to elaborate more. I kinda like them but its always a risk posting these kind of shots as its so subjective but always good to get others thoughts

23mm is a cracker, how did your shots with the 56mm look?

You could always get an X100s second hand. Find out if the fixed lens is going to suit you. You won't lose much when selling on and can either get the X-T1 or the X100t. Or perhaps just keep using the X100s.

Simple answer is xt10, it's small, light and extremely good value. With a pancake lens will be pretty much same footprint as x100. Plus you can switch lenses if you get bored. Same sensor in all 3 cameras. Xt1 would probably be overkill just for street. Imo.

Anyone had any issues with really stubborn dust or dirt on their XT1 sensor? I've got a stubborn spot showing up on images, it doesn't want to shift.

Not really. Obviously you've got an extra stop of light to play with the 16mm. Really depends what you use it for.
If you're shooting landscapes all the time f8-f16 then I'd probable get the 14mm. If your shooting street or in low light, then I'd get the 16mm.

The 14mm is quite good wide open though

I would base it on whether you really need Weather Resistant or f1.4. If you don't then the 14mm is a lovely lens, and quite compact. The 14mm is also in the current cashback whilst the 16mm is not.

Decided little was best for the X-T10, so picked up a £150 Fuji 50-230, very pleasantly surprised, quick AF and plenty sharp enough...

No idea what caused the issues, Probably because successive firmware updates have twiddled with things that I haven't changed since I got the camera and aren't compatible. Some of the niggles cured themselves after cycling through the settings but some persisted no matter what. They've only shown themselves recently because with the new firmware 4 I've made some changes to my shooting workflow so some function buttons needed to be reassigned etc.
So these things are now hopefully not going to be an issue again:
Auto ISO on manual mode: Chose different ISO depending if front lever was in M or S/C
Exposure lock only worked in M, then stopped working altogether.
Auto ISO in Manual exposure would not change exposure at all but still displayed a different compensation value in exif.
Left arrow button and front Fn button became linked, set one and it also set the same thing to the other.
Maybe it will also fix the issue I had with it not firing the shutter in continuous shooting mode for no apparent reason!
