Re: Deciding which lens to buy

Hey, few weeks ago I bought 16-55, but it was damaged ( rear element was loose) and it affected sharpness and couldn't properly measure distance while focusing, so sent it back. It didn't bother me about the size and weight but having zoom lens is not my cup of tea. Now I will travel through some cities in US and was wondering which lens to buy. Right now i have only 18f2, 35f1.4 and was thinking about 56 or 90mm. I usually do some landscapes but mostly street photography. And later on thinking about doing some reportage/press projects. Which lens would best suit me? I really like the reach/sharpness and wr of 90mm, but still never used this long lens. Maybe you could help me deciding?

Thank for your answers !!

To be honest, you can't go wrong with either. They're Fuji lenses after all

When you do landscapes, street and press photography though, most pictures will (usually) be in the 14-55 range, so I'm not sure if the 90mm is of great added value (even though it's a terrific lens).

In my opinion, the 56mm would best suit your current 18mm and 35mm kit.
