Which 3 primes combo is your ideal setup?

[Hermelin]

16, 35 & 90

[rdelbar]

14/2.8, 23/2, 50/2 (soon)

[DirkB17]

As I prefer small primes with my X-E2 my line-up is 18, 27 and 60

[sumitaro]

16f1.4, 35f2, 56f1.2 !

Just curious why you chose 35/2 instead of 35/1.4?

I'm going to buy X-T2 + 35 f/2 + 56f/1.2 later 12mm Samyang.. 35 f/2 better for overall experience, focus speed, wr, bit different rendering and it doesn't have big leap from 1.4, neither 50mm f/2 (-6mm fov, 1.2 vs 2)...

I shoot portraits and weddings so: 23mm, 35mm, 56mm

 

The day I buy my own GFX: 63mm, 110mm and 120mm

because it is a faster lens and more compact and WR. The F1.4 didn't matter to me. I sold my 1.4 for the F2.

Finally decided I'd lurked enough on this excellent thread that I had to post... 

 

When I carry multiple lenses, I usually go for 18.5/2.8 (X70), 35/2, and a zoom (either 18-135 or the 50-230 for the built or natural environment, respectively). 

 

My other prime is the Samyang 12/2, and 12/18ish/35 is pretty close to my ideal prime setup for city photography (though I might swap out one of the wides for the 16). For a more outdoorsy prime setup, I'd replace one of the two wides with a(n as yet nonexistent) tele, probably in the 200-300 range.

 

Had an X100T for a little while, but I much preferred the pictures I took with the 35. My glasses didn't get along that well with the X100's viewfinder either, so it moved in the world.

14, 23, 56.

[tractorboyx]

14/2.8 - When you need wide go wide.

 

23/1.4 - The best lens I own. Street, portraits, landscapes, awesome.

 

56/1.2 - Some of the best lens quality I have ever owned, and very shallow D of F.

Hi - Just joined the X club with an X Pro1 and an XT-10 a month ago, plus  the 14/2.8, 35/1.4, and now the 60/2.4 primes.

 

I don't think I will go beyond this set as I bought them to give me a small, handy and "want to use" fun system, as I find my Canon 5D2 and big L glass collection a drag at times.

 

I'm off to photograph my daughter rowing in competition tomorrow, and I am taking the Canon with a 150-500mm zoom for the rowing itself, plus the XPro and its3 primes for everything else.

Wonderful, magical glass.

[jestuber]

23/2, 35/2, 50/2 (when it's released)

 

Compact and weatherproof makes me take my camera more often. I'd love a new 14 or 18.

[ruby.monkey]

What I have now - 18mm f/2, 35mm f/1.4, 56mm f/1.2. I've had nothing but fun with these lenses.

[Snodge]

It's so hard to choose, but at the moment, I think my 3 are currently the Fuji 14mm f/2.8, 25mm f/1.8 Zonlai HD Discover, and Fuji 55mm f/1.8 m42 with Lens Turbo II

[Warwick]

I currently have 18mm f2, 23mm F2 and 35mm f2. I'm pretty happy with them.

For me : 16, 35 and 90 on xpro2.

 

(+ X100F)

[MattXPhitographer]

16/56/90 with the possibility to complete it with the 23mm1.4

[heartdoctor]

Am just a hobbyist... My lightweight set-up:

14 f/2.8 - for wide

23 f/2 - street/general

56 f/1.2 - portraits

I use 14  23 f/2 and 35 f/1.4 for street photography

I'm looking for a more tele lens, 50 or 90 will replace my 35 for travels.

[mostlyphotos]

I recently came to the conclusion that the X-T2 paired with Primes is the way to go....

ideal:

 

16mm 1.4

23mm f2

56mm f1.2

 

It depends on the style of your photography

My ideal set-up would be:

- 14mm f/2.8 for wide

- 23mm f/2 for all-round photography

- 50mm f/2 for portraits

[citral]

18mm F2

35mm F1.4

50mm F2

 

I tried the 23mm F2 and sold it quickly : it has NONE of the rendering of the 35 F1.4. or even the despised 18mm F2. It's flat. Boring. Dead.

 

Fortunately, the 50mm is none of that. It's marvelous, and for 200 grams I have a short tele I can take when hiking for landscape closeups, big animals, hiking friends portraits etc. Bokeh is very good on that one. Rendering is "3D" unlike the 23 F2.

 

18mm because other wide options are too big/heavy for me to take everywhere and it has, despite extreme corners softness/distortion/fringing, a fantastic rendering. Just don't fight against it and put an important (human...) subject in an extreme corner when you frame and you'll be absolutely fine, no one will be able to tell not even you. It's really a fantastic lens that I had to buy again after selling it stupidly.

 

The 35mm f1.4 is still the best fuji lens and nope, the 35mm F2 does not match it. It might be "90%" of it as some reviews claim, but those 10% account for an incredible, very pleasing, film-like picture vs a "good digital one" IMO. I'm still thinking I will add it to my kit because it's better if I'm hiking in snow and make F8 landscape pictures vs not taking the 1.4 at all

 

Eagerly waiting for a 16 or 18mm WR F2 lens so I can have 18-35-50 WR with the 35 F2 being so-so but able to take all abuse I throw at it, and keep the 35 1.4 warm and dry for important stuff.

Firts of all Hi, this is my firts post.

I have 23mm f1.4 and 90mm f2.

I spent 3 weeks in Spain and use my Fuji x-t2 with the 23mm f1.4 95% of the time for night shooting and some day shooting (canon 5d IV 24-70 during the day). Very happy!

Returned the 35mm because it did not get out of the bag. My guess is that I will end up 16, 23  and 90
