Hi,

I am in the process of buying an X-T2 and have already decided on a 40-150mm f2.8. I will be shooting a wide range of stuff but mainly events, weddings, portraits, occasional cycling events. And I'll use it for travel and landscapes.

I currently have a x100s, that ill use as a backup/ second shooter. I think its still fast enough?!

Now is the decision part, i'm looking for a second and or a third lens if the price is right. My current options are:

a) 16-55mm f2.8 - fill the gap from wide to 40mm

b) 56mm f1.4 - fast, good for low light and portraits. Good pair with the 23mm on the x100s.

+ 12mm Samyang / 14mm Fuji f2.8 (if i can find a decent price)

I cant decide which would better option. I am open to other recommendations.

I can vouch for the 14mm 2.8. I love mine - best 90 degree FOV lens I've ever used.

Not sure where you'll find a 56mm 1.4...I think you meant 1.2. Lovely lens - well worth adding to your collection as it does a very different thing than the 56mm in the zoom that you already have.
