Recommendations among the Fuji lense line for the X-t2? Starting with the kit lense - seemed to save several hundred dollars.

I think the 23/1.4 is hard to beat for an all around 35mm equivalent lens. The 56/1.2 is a great low light performer but a little heavy. The only zoom I have is the 10-24 and honestly I just prefer the primes. Hopefully Julian or Stephen will chime in.

Lastly, don't overlook the 60mm Macro. The lens got a bad rap when it came out with the original X-Pro1 for slow auto focus. But it autofocuses plenty quickly enough on an XT-1 and an XT-2, and can be picked up used in a like new condition for dirt cheap on the camera forums. That's how bought mine. Optically it is absolutely gorgeous, I mean real magic, and also makes for a very nice portrait lens as well. And of course it's fantastic for macro photography. A sleeper, and a real steal.

Thanks!! I'll have to review this further and think about it.
I'll have my fair share of cute dog and family shots, but my serious applications will nearly all be outdoors/in the elements. My other sickness (well, at least one of my other sicknesses) is fly fishing for tarpon and saltwater gamefish in the tropics and big freshwater game fish (e.g., Steelhead and Chinook) in BC and Alaska (and equivalent). So, the necessity of "grip and grin" shots when it's rainy and cold and wet or hotter than hades and wet is real. I suspect I'll end up with your three lense kit, but let me study it some more. Super excited. Thanks for all of the info. |

Got here today. Also purchased the 1.4 WR 16 mm. It was on sale, with weather resistance, little faster and a little more expensive. Will unpack and try it out tomorrow. Love, love, love the fit and finish and the fact that it looks and feels like a real camera.

[QUOTE=Puma Cat;818158]If you need weather resistance, I would get the 10-24 and eventually, the 16-55 pro zoom, they are both weather resistant, "WR" lenses. As is the 50-140/2.8 pro zoom, but it's big compared to the other Fuji lenses (the physics of optics).[/QUOTE
I don't think the 10-24 is a WR lens.

Congrats! Fantastic! Yeah, the X-T2 is a game-changer for the mirrorless segment. The general consensus is the camera is not an evolution of the X-T1 but a quantum jump in performance. Did you happen to get the booster grip for it as well by any chance?
Installing the Vertical Power Booster Grip and putting it into Boost mode turns the X-T2 into a beast! Its like shooting with a 40% smaller and lighter Canon 1Dx MkII. Enjoy! (and let's see some pics...)
