    I'm out doing on the street journalism and frequently at night. The fast primes on my X-T1 give clean clear shots in poor light.
     
    Sure I wouldn't mind having in camera OIS, but it does not seem like a pressing need to me. The limitation I most bump against is AF speed in low light. 
     
    At night, if the subject is moving, I'll take the fast prime over OIS.

    jorjitop got a reaction from marcelo_valente in Sistine Chapel to Tuscany, what would be your 2 lens line up?   
    I would definitely go for the 10-24 zoom if you don't mind the weight.  It is one of the best quality zoom lenses made by Fuji.  And it adds tremendous flexibility under various circumstances.  It is not as fast as a prime, but I have had no problems given the broad ISO capability of the X sensor.  I would also go for (already have gone for) the 18-135 zoom.  The fact is that I have never had a problem taking pictures (hand held)  at night with the zooms.  It is great to walk around taking night scenes after dinner.
     
    It all depends what you like to photograph.  But, if you want to cover the range from close up architecture (try and get a building in from the other side of a narrow street) to some distant church towers on the horizon, you need the tele as well as the wide.  That is currently impossible with just primes.
     
    As I live in Europe, I am faced with all these problems quite regularly.  It is all so close!

    I was in Tuscany + Rome last summer. I had the 18-55, 55-200 and 35 (I never travel with more than 3 lenses)
     
    Zooms are indeed very hand for travels. The trinity I took covered pretty much everything, but I missed the 14 for some dramatic extra wide landscape shots.
     
    My ideal travel combo would be the 10-24, 18-135 and 23mm. But sadly I don't own the two zooms.
