Prime will give you a better image overall, 14mm is really wide tho and it's only a F4. But since you mentioned 18-55mm, I assume you have a cropped sensor?

Yessir. Yeah my thinking is 14mm x 1.5 = 21mm would allow for more coverage with landscape. However, it is a full stop slower vs 2.8 on the 18-55mm. Would like to bring as little as possible but don't want to miss out on wide angle pictures. Can bring both if needed.

they're both tiny enough that you should definitely bring both.

Decided to bring 14mm f2.8 and 35mm f2. I used the 14mm the most and didn't feel the need for 18-55mm. Worked out well.

No. It was a full moon and too much light.

Agreed - buying any Italian car in another car is blasphemous, lol.
