Hi all, newbie here. 

So i have an XT10 with 18-55 XF lens and a 55-200 xf lens. I NEVER use the 55-200 lens and was wondering what i could exchange it for. Iam mainly into street photography. 

My issue is that i have this new lens used a couple of times that is just wasted on the shelf. I find the lens too big for the body and not versatile enough for the street. 

 

Would love some advice. Should i sell both lenses in exchange for one or sell the 55-200 and get something else? 

 

Thanks in advance

Before you ask this question, you need to identify what do you want to take pictures of? Indoor, outdoor, sports, family, travel, landscape, etc.? Street photographers normally stick to 1 focal length, weather resistant lens, such as a 23mm or 35mm. The f2 versions are plenty fast enough for the amateur shooter. I use an 18-135mm lens for travel as it does it all, but at the cost of higher f stops. I use my 23mm f2 for lots of casual shooting and it is fast enough for indoor shots. I do lots of sports shooting of my grandsons and splurged on a 100-400mm lens that takes great shots from the sidelines. 

Once you decide on what you want to shoot, then look for the lens that works best for you.

Hi

If your into street photography might I suggest the 27mm.

Paired with the XT10 this would make quite a discrete setup, and the lens is not expensive.

I agree, it's a great little chuck of glass. Love the 40 perspective for many genres, all of which I just call 'Photography' (I have a things against the 'street' moniker)

I'll second the recommendation on the 27mm F2.8 for street, that lens lives on my XT30. Two other lenses that I use on the street are, the TTartisans 50mm F1.2 and the Rockinon 12mm F2.0. Note both of these lenses are manual focus, that doesn't bother me as even on the 27 I usually zone focus.

    • Has anyone taken their XH2s or XH2 on Photo-Safari?  How did it go and what lenses did you find the most useful?  Can you post some photos from your trip? Wondering about using my Fuji cameras on a Safari to Africa in September or should I consider one of the Sony cameras?  Would like to hear from others who have used Fuji.  Wondering how valuable the extra reach and lightness of the kit is to the experience is.  Also wondering the quality of the final result (which is the entire point anyway) Thanks
    • Comparing the X-M5 and the X-T30II the biggest difference is that the X-M5 doesn't have an electronic viewfinder. This would be a deal breaker for me but if you have grown up using a mobile phone as a camera it might not be something you would miss.
    • My guess is that its your computer - but you could contact the Iridient developer using his email address - I have always found him responsive and helpful
    • Hiya ive been looking to get my first camera for the past year and Fujifilm really caters my needs I shoot travel mostly architecture sometimes and my budget is around $1000 give or take and frankly the X-M5 is what im leaning into but others say the X-t30ii. Now i want to hear your thoughts on which of these cameras i should get or if you have better options for me ill be glad to take them! P.S Ill be pairing it up with the Viltrox 23mm f/1.4
    • Hi,  I just bought an X-T50 (with the 33mm f1.4), I'm very satisfied about it, I love it in fact. But I have a problem converting my raw files (RAF) with my Iridient X-Transformer (version 1.6.8), whereas I have no problem converting those of my X100V. There is a dialogue box indicating: [T1] DSCF0006.RAF: Loading RAW image... [T1] DSCF0006.RAF: ERROR: Unsupported model or file format (err=-1030). Is my version of the X-Transformer the problem? If so, why can I convert my X100V raw files with no problem? Or is my computer the problem (MacOS 10.12.6)? (I tried downloading more recent version or Iridient X-Transformer but my version of Mac seems to old to support that more recent version.) In hoping I don't have to buy a more recent computer, in addition to having just bought my super X-T50! Thanks, F.
