Lens for indoors beside XF 33/1.4 WR

Hi,

I´m new with X-T5 coming from Olympus, got a good deal with the camera and XF 33/1.4WR. 33mm is a bit tight indoors with family, kids & friends. What would you recommend for this (WR not needed)? I´ll buy used, maybe 500€ at most (cheaper preferably):

Viltrox 23/1.4

XF 18/2

16/1.4

Viltrox 13/1.4 (might be too big)

Alternatives?

Edited, sorry I did not pay correct attention to your posts wording.

That being said:

21- 24 mm with a bit of correction can be nice indoors, so on crop that's 14 or 16?

The XF 14 2.8 is a very underrated lens and has that 'look' of the older Fuji 35 folks love so much.

Thank you for answer. I prefer AF for this use case. 16mm or 18mm is probably best as you write with crop with X-T5 - but the f1.4 alternatives are a little expensive. In the end it might be worth it. 

Viltrox 23 is really cheap used, I just wish it was a little wider to really pair with XF 33mm. But maybe 23mm and 33mm are OK to have side by side.

I could also just sell XF 33 with some profit and get XF 23/1.4WR 😃

    • Is there a way to keep your menu selection on the last option you used? For example.  When I select MENU the cursor defaults to MY Menu.  I scroll up to IQ settings, make a change, and return to shooting. When I press the MENU button again the cursor is back to MY Menu.  I really want it to stay on the IQ setting I was last using (or any other Menu setting). It's a PITA to keep scrolling up and down, back to the previous setting.  (Note.  My Canon Menu retains the position of the last option I was using). Thanks in advance for any help.

    • Im not partal to any brad, just opted to try these based on apparent price / performance.  I'm always looking for best bang per buck, hence Fuji I guess - haha Reliabilty does not concern me, as I always shoot to two cards for pro work (and burst shooting is not a part of that). Made sense for me to get the cheapest / fastest CF cards for hobby shooting.     I just got a Sabrent Rocket V60 512GB cheep (as the back-up card).   As long as neither of these freeze the camera I hope its a cheep solution for my needs. (AB AV Pro SE 512Gb and Sabrent Rocket V60 512GB).  Half a gig of redunat storge for $200USD is something I can live with. (Especially considering I can bust the hell out of the Anglebird). Cheers, Tomek
    • Would using an external charger be of benefit to the batteries life? I appreace it can be faster, but I doin't mind pluging in the camera over USB to charge. Does charging via the camera do as good a job as lets say the fuji's own external charger? Does the camera stop charging once the battry is full and not over charge? I couldn't find these deatails in these forums or in the manual. Thank you!   Image below shot on X-T2 in a sunny studio.

    • It is really easy to find out if the wifi is on. Your computer or tablet or cell phone will have a network settings dealing with wifi, bluetooth, ethernet or “other”. Open that up and go into the section for wifi, and take note of which networks are listed. Turn on the camera and keep watching the list of networks. If your camera’s wifi is turned on, a new network should suddenly show up in your computer/tablet/phone’s network listings. Now go into the camera’s menus and start a wireless connection (the x-app or camera remote app can help you with this). You should see a network show up now. It is not hidden because it has to be visible so that your computer/tablet/phone can join the camera’s network to transfer images. Turn the camera off and that network should disappear. Turn the camera back on and see what happens.
