I have 2 XF zooms, 3 XF Primes (27, 35, 60) plus an X-E2 body, but when I'm travelling for business or pleasure, I usually take the X-M1 plus 27mm, because it's easy to carry, quick to set to fully auto when needed, and the lens seems to be so versatile that I rarely feel I've missed a shot because I needed a different lens. Shots below were all taken this weekend in Singapore using the 27mm + X-M1 - seemed to do a decent enough job considering the range of subjects? What's your favorite travel combo? Is there an even better combination from the Fuji range?

After moving to Fuji X system I extensively used large number of Trans-X bodies and XF lens. Most of them perform excellent optically and very good mechanically. I think Fuji is doing great job designing and supporting gear. The only thing is bothering me all the time - if the electronics is dead lens typically becomes fully unusable. There are numerous third party or adapted fully manual lens that solve that concern. But what if I want to keep using my favorite Fuji optics mechanically? I've performed numerous attempts and discovered potential of converting XF 35mm F1.4 and XF 27mm F2.8, and recently found highly satisfying result of adapting Fujinon XF 27mm F2.8 that requires relatively low effort. Here's resulting article explaining what can you do with electronically dead Fujinon XF 27mm F2.8 lens to bring it back to life in much more compact frame of Industar 50-2. Alternatively you can also use adapted Fuji XF 27mm F2.8 lens on other APS-C cameras like Sony or Canon.

Hi guys, I will soon purchase my first x system. I used dslr and micro 4/3 systems previously. I am just torn between the 27mm and 35mm fuji lenses. I have no specific purpose. I just want to have a single prime on my camera and shoot everything with it for a long time (Maybe a whole year). I am specifically looking at the primes and not considering a zoom lens at this point. If you would share your opinions with me to help me out choose my first fuji prime I would really appreciate it. Thank you
