After receiving comments/suggestions and positive feedbacks on the 16-55 lens, I've ventured out and purchased a Fujinon 35mm f2.0 mainly because it is a WR lens to compliment the XPro2 body. Over the weekend, managed to take about 50 shots around the house with the 35mm and I'm very happy with the results. I'm not retiring the 16-55 at all but after my first impression, the 35 f2.0 will be the go to lens for street scenes.

A lot of people like to pair the 16-55mm with something with more reach, such as the 50-140 or the 55-200 that recommended in an earlier post. However, if you tend to prefer wide shots you may want to consider the 10-24mm in the future. I've found it to be an excellent complement to my 35mm f/1.4 and is very versatile for landscape, street, and architecture. Some will call it bulky, but the weight is not bad at all and the size is not as bad as some of the other zooms because all of the zooming is done internally. My only recommendation would be even though it has OIS, push your ISO up as needed to avoid leveraging the stabilization too hard. The image quality of the 10-24 is superb, but if you're using the OIS too heavily the quality in the corners starts to drop off noticeably. I know that's an issue with any stabilized lens, but I've noticed that it's much more visible on the 10-24 than some of the other OIS Fuji zooms.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
