are we twins? I also got the 35/50 and waiting on the 90.

Back in 2015 I sold the farm. I had an XT1/grip, the pair of 2.8 zooms, 56mm f1.2, and 35mm f2.0. I decided to keep my D810 kit for my wedding business. Fast forward to this summer. I've taken less weddings than I have in year (total of 9 this year) because the weight is killing me, and banks wanted reliable income so I got a dayjob as well. I am a strobist by nature and this was a key reason for keeping the D810 kit. With the XT2 and Profoto collectively curing 90% of my concerns with Fuji I have started to rebuild my fuji kit. I just shot an entire 12 hour wedding with nothing but my XT2, 35mm f2.0, 50mm f2.0. I'm adding the 90mm f2.0 this weekend. Do I miss the 56? Yes, a lot. the 50mm is very nice, focuses closer than expected, is very sharp, and delivers on all accounts. But it does not have as much subject separation as I would like. The Bokeh is not as creamy. I will eventually get the 56mm again, but for now the 50mm f2.0 is perfectly fine. It's compact, sharp, focuses fast... it's great! I was originally going to exchange it for the 56, but I've decided to go get the 90mm instead. I think if I was building a travel kit I would go for the trio of f2.0 WR lenses (23/35/50) and be good. If the kit lens came up on the cheap I'd grab it too as it is also a very nice lens.

35mm f2.0, 56mm f1.2, 90mm f2.0 is my current wish list. I got the 35/2 and 50/2 right now with the 90 on order. I've shot my first wedding with the 35/50 combo this past weekend and have another coming up next weekend and hopefully will have the 90 for that. Really wanted the extra length for the ceremony and to compress the scene just a little bit more. I'm also trying to go for a pure prime wedding kit. (will add a wider lens in the future)
