Lens usage is very subjective. So every photographer has his own favourite lens. My personel favourite is the 23 mm f/1.4.

23 mm give the same angle of view as 35 mm on full frame which is considered one of the best for documentary photography next to 50 mm VF, 33/35 mm APS-C. The f/1.4 gives additional low light capability that the 18-55 does not have. So depending if you like to go close to the people or if you prefer some distance the 35 mm f/1.4 might be a good choice as well. However, the 35 mm gives a slower AF on the T1. I do prefer the 23 mm because in rooms the larger angle of view makes it a litte bit easier for me.

In case you expect a lot of rain or dust the f/2.0 versions may be good alternitives. They provide weather resistance at the cost of one step low light capability.

The 16 mm f/1.4 brings the same low light capability as the 23/1.4 and the 35/1.4 but also extends the angle of view compared to the 18-55 and additionally has a shorter focus distance and weather resistance. So it brings four new features that the 18-55 does not have. However, many think that 16 mm is a little bit wide for street photography. But again, it is all subjective and depend on your style of photography.

Go back through your photos and see what focal length you are using most, this will give you a good idea of what you are taking.

There must be a good reason you are asking this question, do you want a wider or narrower field of view?

Personally I use the 23mm and 56mm lenses.

Like Jürgen has said, it's all subjective.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay with my respond...my leg was broken And I had A surgery

First of all:
f/1.4  versions are out of budget so it would be better to talk only about the f/2.

@Jürgen Heger
This is the respond of the century 🙂
"closer vs distance"...Well, I dont see myself shooting 2-3 meters from the person I want to take a photo of.
I will still keep A 20 (approx) meters off the person...maybe at the future I will have the courage to get closer.

Weather resistance: I dont know. Winter here is just 3-3.5 months .... rest of year sunny.
During summer could be dust...not that much.
So maybe in that case f/2.0 at the end would be A better alternative.

Difference between f/2.0 to f/2.8 could be very noticeable?

The The 16 mm f/1.4  is WAY OVER the budget.

@tractorboyx
How can I see the focal length?
I cant see that detail on the picture info in camera roll
Regarding wider VS narrower - I photographing from distance of 20 (approx) meters...so it "more of" narrower, right?

Thanks for both of you!
@Jürgen Heger 🤩

    • Somehow my shutter fell off my X-a5. On Amazon, there are a number of camera shutter buttons for Fuji cameras. My first thought was that I could just purchase one of these and be ready to go. But after checking these out, it appears that these shutter buttons are for cameras with a screw hole in the shutter button and the X-a5 doesn't have this kind of shutter and even if it did, the shutter is gone.  I called Fuji and they wouldn't even discuss it or accept my photo above to view it, they said I had to send it in which I'm not ready to do. One more update... I just stuck a pin through the center opening of the small center hole and the shutter activated and took a picture. Seems like there could possibly be something to attach there, like a replacement release to remedy this. Based of my explanation and what you can see on this scan, can someone advise me what I need to purchase or what I need to do to resolve this? Thank you.

    • Yes Is some small amount leftover from the spot i cleaned. Inside only very less point of dust,yes my be are from manufacture Is very microscopic. anyway on pictures i not see dust and i not see the spot i clean. thankyou so much for your reply Is beautiful im Happy.Have a good day
    • Are you certain the spot is on the inside and not some small amount leftover from the spot you cleaned? Maybe try a different brand of lens cleaner, but make sure it is safe for lenses so that the lens coatings are not removed. Even weather resistant lenses can get dust inside, the seals can only keep out so much dust and zoom lenses are known to get dusty on occasion. More so than prime lenses do. Weather resistant means more sealing, but achieving perfect sealing is tough to get. It is also possible the dust has been there from the time it was manufactured and you are only now noticing because of the white dot. Does the dust show up in any of your photos? As far as cleaning cost goes, your local camera repair shop will be able to give you some estimates, prices will be different depending on where you are.
