Hi all. I recently purchased the xt-10 with the 18-55 mm lens. I would like to purchase a new lens for capturing my kid's activities. Mostly sports related. Can anyone suggest a lens best for "amateur" sports photography? I don't want anything too bulky or heavy. Thanks!

Do you know what the widest rectilinear X-Mount prime lens currently available is and how good they are? I’ve heard great things about the Samyang 12mm, but what about the Samyang 10mm; is the quality good and the distortion low? There is the Venus Laowa 9mm apparently being launched, but I have seen scant information on this and whilst the images look good, they only come from one source. In any case, it’s not yet released, so I’d prefer not to wait. Are there any other rectilinear prime x-Mount lens choices below 12mm?

Hi all, Photography is my hobby for a few years now. Before now I used the Canon eos 600D from my Grandmother, because I never had the money to buy my own camera. This semester (I'm an exchange Student from Germany) I also take a photography class in my High School. And now I really want my first own camera. After comparisons I decided to buy the Fuji X-T20. (My Hostdad bought an used X-T1, since then I’m in love with Fuji Cameras) The Prices here and in Germany are almost the same so i probably wait until I go back, but I have one big question left: I don’t know which kit I should buy. In Germany I could get the Fuji X-T20 with the 18-55mm f2.8-4.0 for 1199 €. But I could also get the 16-50mm f3.5-5.6 plus the 50-230mm f4.5-6.7 for 1199 €. Now my question: which Kit should I buy? Is the 18-55mm really so much better or should I get the Kit with two lenses? I also want to buy a prime lense, that would be a little bit later then. Maybe the 35mm or 50mm f2.0. (I would be happy about suggestions for the first lens I should buy after the Kit lens!)

I currently have an XE2 with the 18-55mm and 10-24mm lenses. I'm going travelling soon and have just spotted that (in the UK) there's £150 cash back on the Fuji 18-135mm and I'm quite tempted to get it to give me more versatility on holiday. However, I'm a bit worried that it might be a big on the large side when paired with the XE2 - anybody got that set up and how do you find it as a carry around all day unit?
