What are the best lenses for the Fuji X-T2 (or any Fuji X camera)? | Samples and recommendations

Описание: I've had a few questions asking which are the best lenses for the Fuji X-T2 or indeed any of the Fuji X-series cameras. The answer of course: it depends! I believe that most photographers would want a selection of wide, medium and "tight" or telephoto lenses. The good news is that between the new Fujinon XF F2 WR lenses (see links below) and eBay deals on more pricey, faster lenses, it's possible to get a solid lineup without breaking the bank completely.

Personally I think that for stills the 23mm and 35mm lenses are my top choices because of their versatility and price. For shooting video, the OIS is a really useful feature, so a zoom lens would make most sense.

Intro
02:34 23mm and 35mm f2 the "must haves"
05:26 56mm f1.2 and 50mm f2 "portraits and bokeh"
09:29 16mm f1.4 "astrophotography, landscapes and street"
12:23 18-55mm OIS f2.8-4 "video lenses and zooms (if you must!)"
16:46 Summary and conclusion

Of course the opinions I'm sharing in this video are directly related to the ways in which I have used the Fuji X series cameras for hybrid shooting (I have shot the fuji X-T2, X-T10 and X100T) usually for documentary photography and adventure photography. If you asked a dedicated landscape or wedding photographer for his input it would likely deviate a bit from my own!

If you have additional ideas about lenses that I missed that YOU love, make sure you sound off in the comments below!
