    KendraB got a reaction from karin.gottschalk in Which 3 primes combo is your ideal setup?   
    I just switched to the Fuji camera system. I have done a fair bit of research, and knew I wanted the XF 23 mm lens as my first non-kit lens. I picked it up today, and I love the optics and how it handles. I will likely end up with at least four prime lenses. I just ordered the new XF 90 mm lens, as I need a short telephoto lens. I will get the XF 14 mm lens next, as its wider-angle will work better for landscapes.
     
    I will put a pause on my lens buying at that point, as I need to get a new camera body (I am using an old X-A1 now).
     
    Once I get my new camera (replacement for the X-T1), I will order a fourth lens. It will likely be the XF 56 mm f/1.2 R lens.
     
    So, my three lens combination will be the 14-23-90mm XF lenses. The 56 mm f/1.2 (NOT APD version) will fill in the gap between the 23 mm and 90 mm lenses.

    Hello. My name is Kendra. I live in Kelowna, BC. I have been involved with photography for about 7 years, and enjoy getting out on long hikes with my camera. My old system was starting to wear me down (Nikon DSLR), so I decided to look for a new mirrorless alternative. I looked at the new Sony A7 line of cameras, but thought they were overpriced. I spent some time with a used Fuji X-A1, to see if I could get used to the way Fuji X cameras work.
     
    I liked the way the X-A1 generally worked, but with no viewfinder, it was a bit of a pain to use. It worked well enough to convince me the Fuji X system was what I wanted to invest in. I just placed an order for a new Fuji X-E2 camera kit. It comes with everything I need to get started: body, XC 16-50mm and XC50-230mm lenses, an EF20 flash, vertical grip, spare battery, and leather case. It currently sells for just $1,200 (Canadian). It should arrive this week. 
     
    i have been interested in street photography for a while now, but my Nikon D610 with 24-70mm lens was not exactly stealthy. My new Fuji camera will be a much better option, particularly once I get a XF23m f/1.4 lens to put on it. 
     
    I look forward to connecting with people on this forum, and to learning how to get the most from my new equipment. Fuji products clearly have a lot of support, both from other Fuji X photographers and from Fuji itself. I note Fuji has just released a new version 4.00 firmware for the EX-2 camera, and I look forward to seeing what it adds.
