p.1 #5 · p.1 #5 · My leap of faith to Fuji, Now I need lenses | |
The "problem" with the Fujifilm X system is that it's particularly hard to make lens recommendations for it, I find. Here's a manufacturer that really knows their way around a lens design making lenses exclusively dedicated to the APS-C size sensor and their own mount. There simply are no duds. Sure, the three original lenses from the launch (xf 18/2, xf 35/1.4, xf 60/2.4) generally have slower AF than the newer ones and might make a little more noise from the AF motor, but also have other benefits and strong points, even compared to those more recent releases.
You'll find that X users have almost as many different personal favorite XF lenses as there are... XF lenses. (I know I'm excluding the XC lenses here. They're too much of a compromise. My opinion, ofc).
I have most of the Fuji XF primes (though not the new f2 ones), one Rokinon and one Zeiss Touit, plus the 55-200 zoom. And I recently added the 16-55/2.8. My one regret is that I now use the primes less than I'd like, mostly due to the 16-55 just being really good. I do not need all these lenses. Do I sell a few? Hell no. They're all just too good/special to part with. I even still have both the 60/2.4 and 56/1.2.
This is not my experience shooting Sony and Canon. Much easier to pick a few favorites there and shed some dead weight if needed.
If I truly had to downsize, I guess I'd go zoom at both ends of the FOV spectrum and one or two fast primes in between. So maybe the 10-24, either 1.4 version of the 23 or 35, the 56/1.2 and either the 40-150 or 55-200. But then I'd have to give up the 90/2, which is, frankly, completely unthinkable.
Good luck!
