Pardon the lengthy backstory? Nay, I appreciate it all! About the rapidly moving water confusing the IS, I had the strong impression that IS is based entirely on sensing accelerations around 3 axes. I didn't think it used any image information at all. This would be why, when using a non-Fuji lens that doesn't communicate its focal length, you have to explicitly tell the camera what the focal length is, to set the scaling between angular acceleration and counteracting motion in the IS mechanism. How sure are you that the camera pays attention to motion in the image when doing stabilization? Anybody?

For the price and versatility, the 23mm f2 R WR can’t go wrong. Focuses up close, a nice middle between standard and wide angle view, etc.

Hi, I partially agree with @Mentalo, the ideal kind of lenses for the X-PRO3 are the primes. But I think that is same situation an all-round zoom is more flexible. The question is that this zoom must have a good quality and a portability adapted to user needs. In my opinion the options are as follow. Fujinon XF 18-55/f2.8-4 or XF 16-55/f2.8 I own both lenses. The 18-55 is a good lens, small and light so very portable. It has the stabilization and the only caveat is that it isn't weather resistant. The 16-55 is a fantastic lens but is huge and heavy. It isn't stabilized but it is, IMHO, a perfect all around lens. Fujinon XF90mmF2 R LM WR if you need a telephoto lens. Perhaps you are thinking to a ultra-wide-angle lens, in this case you can evaluate the Laowa 10/f4 Cookie that is really small, not perfect but with a reasonable quality. Bye Andy
