Which 3 primes combo is your ideal setup?

23mm f/1.4

35mm f/1.4

56mm f/1.2

 

I find that there is very little I can't do with these based on my personal style of photography. I also own the 16mm f/1.4, but I only add that to my bag if I feel like the locations I'm visiting will require it. The 16mm has amazing image quality, but it's not something I use daily. For the most part I've found that the 23mm is wide enough for what I do and most of the time if I bring my 55-200mm I end up using it at 55 or a few shots close to 200. Bringing the 56mm instead of that means I gain a lot of options for depth of field and only miss out on a handful of long shots.

 

Having now used the Fuji gear for a while I would agree with your setup except 23mm mine is F2. I am sorely tempted to add my 90mm to that mix though when I am next away on a river. I just love Fuji colour and the end results of the images and the X-prime lenses are really fantastic value for money. The only thing I am not keen on are the lens hood quality of fit on the 14mm 2.8, 35mm F1.4 - the others are as good as any other make and are not loose. The 35mm 1.4 I discovered I can dispense with the loose square rubber front cover - it's useless anyway, such a poor fit I could have lost it on day one. The solution is to use the normal 52mm cap, which I admit is extremely fiddly to get at if one is too lazy to take off the hood and then the cap. But it can be done and is a better solution.

    • Because the sensor assembly is moved electrmagnetically. When there is no power it is essentially free moving.

      This is the equivalent of 43 minutes, 40 seconds of exposure. NGC 1502 is a neat little cluster located in the Camelopardalis Constellation. This region of space was thought to be fairly empty by early astronomers, but as you can see, there is a lot there. Kemble's Cascade (a.k.a. Kemble 1) is named for Father Lucian Kemble, a Canadian Franciscan friar who wrote about it to Walter Scott Houston, an author for the Sky And Telescope magazine. Houston named the asterism for Fr. Kemble and the name "stuck". NGC 1501 is the Oyster Nebula. A longer focal length telescope is needed to bring this one into good viewing range, but it is well worth the effort.

    • Looking for input; there are some decent deals and might want to take advantage to expand my lenses for my 100s already own: 110/2 32-64 35-70 100-200 + TC   Shooting mostly family shots, bringing my kit to capture family outings indoors and out. Tracking the 63/43 effective FLs on the two, but has anybody used both? Would the 55 (covered by two zooms right now) be redundant? Would the 80 be too similar in character to my 110 for portraiture?
