  1. From my point of view, I would focus either on the XP2 or the XT2. I know you have set sight on the XT2. To be frank Fuji cameras are easy to acclimatise to and you will not be overwhelm. Focus purely on what your heart have set sight on and you will be happy using and buying it. Say if you have the means to it, head out and purchase it. There's no point asking around, since people have different opinions that may not best suit your needs, tendency for you to second guess. In the event that you have no means to it at present, my advise, be patient and save up. You will never regret it. With regards to lenses, the three lenses which will suffice for one needs, would be the 16mmf1.4, 35mmf2 and either the 56mmf1.2 or 90mmf2 or best wait for the 50mmf2. The 56mmf1.2 render great bokeh but autofocus seems quite quirky though. Go for a second hand if i were you amid users selling it for the 90mmf2 or the upcoming 50mmf2. Then again there will never be lenses that will suffice in photography world. It is just a guideline. Do take a look at the XP2 as well. To be honest its one great camera. Never understood, when users quoted " a camera with a soul ", initially. After toying with it at a camera store and during a fuji photowalk, i got to say its the most enjoyable camera i've toyed with so far. Much more joy to use than the XT1 that i have owned. Sold off my XT1 recently to fund for either the XT2 or XP2. Never enjoyed using it. Autofocus was the driving factor that made me sold it off. Then again, no camera is perfect. XP2 has it quirkiness, so will the XT2, but its up to the users themselves to overlook its shortcomings in favour of its positive functionality, ergonomics and joy to use. From my perspective, either the XT2 or XP2 is a good enough camera for me, for my type of photography. You don't need to keep changing bodies every now and then unless you find it necessary to the type of photography you are into. Say if you are a photographer or looking to be one and a means of your main income, then its justifiable to keep updating bodies, as one has to please their clients with image qualities, less if its for personal, it should be good enough. Invest more in lenses you need than bodies. That being said, have fun, all the best and happy shooting.
  2. There will never be a third lens for me. It boils down to what type of photography you are into. In your case, i would sell the 18-55mm and only go with these three lenses. 16mmf1.4 , 35mmf2 and either the 56mmf1.2 or 90mmf2. To me the 56mmf1.2, is great. Renders great bokeh wide open but the autofocus is quite quirky. I will go with the 90mmf2 instead or best wait for the 50mmf2 in future. These 3 lenses will pretty much cover your needs. For me, i have set sight on these five lenses for my needs, 16mmf1.4 , 23mmf2( if it renders great image quality as 35mmf2, if not, i will fallback to the f1.4 instead) , 35mmf2, 50mmf2 and 90mmf2. Happy shooting!!
  3. Preordered mine with the grip too. With reasons being; 1) Ability to charge two batteries at the same time, aside from the external and in body usb charging. Therefore save time and more batteries could be charged and re-charged. 2) The comforting feeling of a better grip, when larger/longer zoom lenses are attached. 3) Faster AF acquisitions in Continuous drive. 4) PWP (Purchase With Purchase), discount. ( point 5 is the main driving factor to purchase now. ) 5) In September, Fujifilm will increase their product prices due to Brexit and Kumamoto earthquake. Theoretically, this is the best time to get their products before they increase it.
  4. alternatively you can actually use wired shutter remote that comes with a 2.5mm head jack. One example is from phottix. C6 model. It cost S$10 singapore dollars here.
  5. Hey guys, happened to come across this discussion about the XP2 L bracket. So happened to fiddle around with an XP2 in store (Singapore) and came across this L bracket made in China. To me it is grippy and comfy being attached to an XP2. Do check it out. Its from SUNWAYFOTO.
  6. http://fujifilmxmount.com/comparison/en/test-our-lenses/?o=XC50-230 Check this website out with regards to the FOV of the 10-24 and 56mm. Alternatively the 14mm is an ultra wide prime lens that you would want to take into consideration.
