We all know that a lot of Fuji users move down from high end full frame DSLR kits for the reason of downsizing. No exception, I moved from a nikon D800E, and i'm a prime shooter mainly at 24mm, 35mm and 85mm. I used to own a 300mm f2.8 but I am not using it that often.

Considering IQ + weight,

Would you prefer:

-14mm f2.8 + 23mm f2 + 60mm macro

or

-16mm f1.4 + 23mm f2 + 56mm f1.2

I really need a 35mm equivalent focal length, so 23mm always has a spot in my kit. Considering the weight f2 is a much better choice for me personally.

The question comes down to the wide end, i would prefer a 24mm equivalent light lens, i.e., 16mm f2/f2.8. However, 16mm f1.4 is almost double the weight of 14mm and f1.4 isnt something i would need for a wide angle lens.

At the tele-end, again, 56mm is the ultimate portrait lens ( i wont consider 90mm due to its weight). However, 60mm seems to be a steal lens at half of its weight and price. I understand its slow focus and relatively slow aperture, but dual purpose lens is always a plus.

what do you guys think if u can only have 3 primes ?

I'd take the Fuji 35mm F/2, Fuji 35mm F/1.4 and Mitakon 35mm F/0.95. Pretty much has me covered.
