My problem is, which two?
My problem is, which two?
I was playing around on camerasize.com, with 3 simulations of my X-T1. The 18mm and 60mm both are great fits for the camera. On the 3rd camera I was modeling various other lenses. The next two lenses in FL after the 60 are the 90 and 18-135. Both are significant jumps from the 60 in length, weight, and cost. More power to you folks that own them and use them, but I've tried hiking with long, heavy lenses. Didn't last but a few hikes before I tired of the bulk. I was never able to get any good wildlife pics, anyway. Light and compact for me.
That is one of the things I love about Fuji gear. The really is nothing bad in the entire lineup. Regardless of what one's needs are for their shooting.
A word for the 50-230... I had the 55-200 and sold it in favour of the 100-400. That is one heavy lens, however, and something of a specialist tool. I only carry it with intent, and never when travelling. Enter the 50-230. Light as a feather and a remarkably good performer.
