The best advice I got about getting another lens came from someone at B&H during a webinar. They encouraged me to rent the lens I was interested in and play around with it before purchasing it. I looked online and it’s pretty easy to find places you can rent from. Some will even ship them to you. I am still really new to photography but will be taking this advice once I’m ready to invest in a second lens. I have the same camera and lens that you do. Hope this helps, I think it’s a great option before spending money on a lens and then finding out you would have liked another one better.

Hi everyone,
Where to start…?
I’m from and still live in Texas. In 2008 I studied in London for a semester and took a canon power shot with me. It was fun being able to take photos with something other than a disposable camera. I thought it was so high tech and had a blast shooting everywhere I went. When I got back to the states I basically lost interest. I’d pull it out on occasion but it mainly set in its case.
A couple of months ago I found out I’d need a portfolio to get into grad school. The portfolio is for ceramics but it gave me an excellent excuse to get a “real” camera. Since I am on a time crunch I did a ton of research in about a week before deciding which camera I wanted. I was leaning towards a Sony but then came across a blog about someone switching from a Sony to a Fujifilm. I found their reasons for doing so compelling and ended up purchasing an x-t4 with the 16-80mm lens. 
 
Since I’m basically brand new to photography I am enrolled in a photography course at a local university. I have found the same “spark” for photography that I first had all those years ago in London. I don’t really know what I mainly want to shoot yet and am just kind of interested in trying everything at the moment in the hopes I’ll find what I love most. 
 
I’m so happy to be part of the Fujifilm family and can’t wait to learn more!
