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 !!

For standard use the 90 is on my xpro2 80% of the time. Before I had it, it was the 50-140. I'm still looking on getting a decent wide lens for when the X-T2 arrives. I was thinking the 16, 10-24, or the 16-55 even but after what you said it kinda backs me off of that one.
