Fuji Shedding some weight

[Lightmancer]

Bumping this just to say I decided to make an adjustment to my final kit. I am swapping in the 23mm f2 in place of my beloved 16mm...

Told you so... you will not be disappointed, and you still have your 16 for when the speed or angle of view is needed.

Yes you did. It takes me a week or 10 to catch on. I am actually shipping out the 16mm as I want to limit my main kit to four primes. Ideally I'd like to go back to a two prime kit, but that isn't feasible. But if I do find myself in a pinch for extra width, I can borrow the 18-55 from my son's kit

I think the 18-55 is such a good lens - I tend to go to it most of the time. I'd like the 23mm f2 as well though for street stuff - may wait until the spring sales.

My primes are now the 23mm f2 and on its way, the 35mm f2. I've given up on the idea of a "one lens for all". . . . the 16-55 is just too large. I plan no more gear purchases for a long time, unless Fuji surprises us with an 18mm f2 WR.

My kit is now the 23, 35, 50, and 90 f2 lenses. I gave up the 16-55 also because of the weight. And I no longer needed a zoom. I can carry my entire kit plus extra batteries in a Tenba DNA 8. And the weight is unnoticeable. A nice side effect is that I am pocketing some money, even after buying the four primes, after selling the 2.8 zooms. More so now that I sold the 16mm.

Bobby, I see a 14mm in your future...
