X-Pro2 in Myanmar

Thanks for the detailed answer, totally wouldn't have expected that though! Especially the big use of the telezoom.

If one has the X-T2 and the 18-55, would you advice to go for either one of the WA lenses like the 14, 16 or 10-24, or rather for a telezoom?

I'm only 10 months into photography so I'm no expert but I'll share my experience thus far. It all depends on where you'll use the lens. I tried to use the 23MM for some of the Bagan sunset pics but the image lacked the drama that I was witnessing with my eyes. The sun was a small circle and there were too many temples in the image which wasn't helping convey a clear message.

On the other hand, for the Inle Lake sunset images, I wanted to capture as much of the reflection from the funky clouds as I could along with the greenery growing in the foreground, so for that image, I went wider and it conveyed the feeling I wanted.

The 10-24 is a fantastic lens and the OIS is bonkers good, but I find the images become dramatic because they're wide rather than because of the subject. I have an image of a temple and a tree that looks great because it's at 10MM. In real life, it wasn't anywhere near as impressive!

if you're not going to be taking fast shutter night pictures, I'd recommend the 14MM. The extra width will come in handy and it's a smaller lens too. If you will be taking fast shutter images at night, or at close distances, the 16MM is beyond reproach. I love doing bokeh with it.

The 50-230 at USD180 is almost a freebie and should be bought in addition to the wide angle
