I don't argue, everyone has a point of view.
Fujinon APS-C lenses are light and compact, because they offer an optical compromise. To date, I haven't see an optical engineer defy the laws of physics. It works fine for street and portrait, their color-blind XTrans sensor - as well, but when you want to get anything serious, it's not there. And not having Sigma lenses means that you have no choice either.
For me, personally, the Nikon Z line of lenses offered two lenses that I like a lot - 24/1.8S and 50/1.8S. I already have better 85 than the 85/1.8S, I have a better 40 than the 35/1.8S, and I don't like zoom lenses much.
If you need a compact combo, wait for both compact primes that are coming up. Or use Olympus/Panasonic m4/3 or Fuji/Sony/Canon/Nikon/Pentax/Ricoh/Leica APS-C.
On the other hand, 1.8S primes make a lot of sense for me - yes, they hefty, compared to Canon EF 40/2.8 STM, or all plastic 50mm lenses, but they are also way better corrected, way sharper, and weather sealed than these. In addition, they still cost less than Sony F1.4 or Canon F1.2 lenses. So, the Z lineup is way better balanced and lighter than the competing Full-Frame lenses, offering comparable, if not better IQ for less. If you need 1/2 or 2/3 EV faster glass on FF, go with the other four companies..
And since Nikon makes better deals in Europe, it's as expensive as running a Fujifilm system.
