That new firmware update on the xt3 is pretty mind blowing.

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.

Yep, I bought mine from here for a decent price as well - https://www.e-infin.com/uk/item/925/fuji_fujifilm_fujinon_xf_35mm_f/1.4_r_lens

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.

Wow that is very cheap! Is it grey market? (if the vendor is highly rated, and you get warranty, who cares).
Caporegime
Yea grey import, but with a warranty. It's where I bought mine from.

Good to know, thanks. Will have to remember to refer to this thread if I end up buying any other lenses.

My XT-3 from there is arriving tomorrow. Just need a lens to go with it.

Can someone answer this. The Samyang 12mm xmount comes in two flavours. Which one should I be looking at? The F2 and the T2.2?

The lenses should be the same, just with different aperture scales. Usually T (cine) lenses have a stepless aperture ring (no clicks).
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.

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?
Caporegime
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.
£799 gets you the X-T30 and the 15-45 lens
