Fuji X Series

Can't wait to get hold of my XT-3, especially with the recent firmware update. If you were to get one lens for it, if you like landscape, and portrait, what would it be? On another post I have been recommended the Samyang 12mm and the 35mm 1.2 Fuji.

Yep, those are my two go-to lenses (35mm is an f1.4)

I also have the 23mm f1.4 R. Also amazing, gets a little less use though. I could live with just the other two.

Was really looking forward to the 33mm f1.0, but it's been re-engineered to be another 50mm. Meh.

Only bummer about the new X-T3 firmware is it's broken the Viltrox EF adapter, so I can't use my Canon lenses (not Fuji's fault though).
 
I do really like my 35 1.4. For family trips out - walking about - I go with the 18-55 kit lens as it's so versatile. My next lens I want is either the 16 1.4 or the 56 1.2, eventually both for the holy trinity 16, 35, 56.
 
The 35mm 1.4 is AMAZING. The only shame is how slow it is to focus, and it's not weather sealed.

Agree how versatile the 18-55 kit is. The images it produces are amazing, however they don't have that "wow" aspect to them like the 35mm 1.4 does. The holy trinity sounds amazing, but also bulky and constant switching.
 
The lenses should be the same, just with different aperture scales. Usually T (cine) lenses have a stepless aperture ring (no clicks).

Yea grey import, but with a warranty. It's where I bought mine from.

I came on here to ask you guys about a 16-80 and now thinking about buying one of these! There are some dodgy reviews of that retailer but I'm sure between Paypal and AMEX I'll be fine if something goes wrong.

Have the 23mm F2 which is absolutely incredible - can't put my finger on it but the images just blow me away every time - so this would be a nice addition for low light city photography.

Looking at getting my first Fuji camera, i have noticed the X-T3 can be had for £899 or the X-S10 for £999 with the 15-45 lens, can't decide which to buy.

Really liking the image quality coming out of Fuji cameras.
 
The S-10 handles a bit differently to other Fuji cameras, it has less physical dials and is more akin to a traditional camera setup.

Do you need the bigger body? The X-T30 packs the same power as the X-T3 (there are a couple trade-offs, mostly in video) but can be had for a decent price.

I would want the 18-55 kit lens over the 15-45.

You can get the X-T30 refurbished direct for £599 body only.

I don't do any video stuff at all so if it's worth going for the T-30 instead of the T-3 then i'll do that.

I can get the T-30 and the 18-55 Kit lens for £1099 brand new which seems like a great price.

Which camera body do you have?

I have the X-T30. £799 seems like a solid price for the kit. The 18-55 is a good all purpose lens and discounted when bought as a kit, I think it’s £349 to buy separately.
