Just upgraded from X-E1 to X-T2. Great upgrade.
Now that I have a WR body, time to start building a set of WR lenses.
I currently have the 18-55; 14; 23; 32 (Zeiss); 56; 50-140WR+1.4x.
My most used/favorite lenses are the 23 and then the 14 for mostly landscapes. I do like the 18-55 as a lighter walk around. When using the 14 & 23, image quality needs to be as high as possible. I don't shoot at max open aperture often.
So....there are some obvious choices like replacing my favorite focal length the 23 with the new WR version, but this would end up a specialty lens only used when the weather was rough.
The other possibility is the 16-55WR. I know many believe the 18-55 is for many a better choice and given my preference for primes, when IQ really counts, that's what I'm going to use. However, having a 16-55WR plus the 50-140WR (already have) gives me a nice wide WR focal length range, high IQ, and an alternative to the primes in iffy weather. Plus, the 16-55 has its own utility as an alternative to the 18-55.
Of course, looking to take advantage of the current sale.
Thoughts?

Are you sure you need WR? Why would one want to be in the rain?
