Two sets of lenses for XE2s

[MonGoose]

Hi,

 

I'm using the XE2s with two sets of lenses.

• Either 14mm + 18-55mm for outdoor use.
• Or 18mm f2 + 35mm f1.4 for indoor use.

 

Anyone use the same?

 

Indoors it's sometimes easier to just use the 18-55mm zoom with a nissin i40 flash rather than juggle with primes. The zoom + flash combo  foregoes the compact approach and feels like a dslr, but the combo works faster and is more flexible.

 

Two other issues I have with these sets is a) the zoom is rather big for such a small body and the 18mm f2 images result in kinda snapshots.

 

So, anyone have suggestions where to go from there? Mainly trying to simplify, not adding extra stuff.

I was thinking of trading the 18 for a 23 but 23/35 is rather close.

Or trade the 18/35 combo for 23 f2 + 50 f2.

Hi, i have X-T2 and I select 3 lens for me. They are 14, 35f1.4 and 90. It's a good combo

Way I shoot

 

What is the Job? - What am I photographing

 

- Take required equipment

 

If it is an indoor event - 

Can I use a Flash

Yes = Take a flash

 

I use the 35mm F/1.4 for 90% plus of the time, but i'm happy to zoom with feet.

If I don't know the location, I'd probably take the 18mm as well.

 

For what I can not do with the 18 or 35, the 60mm does a good job for everything none bird/wildlife, for that you're looking at 50-230, 55,200, or the 100-400 (or 50-140 with TC)

 

The issues you have with size, not a lot you can do when you start adding flashes, I'm not sure what you mean by snap shots, as surely that is down to composition not the lens?
