Hi guys, i just wanted to get your opinion on which set up to go (coming from 5d mkiii user). I am torn between three setup as my budget allows. First i am eyeing for the xt2 combined with 50 mm f2. Second one is xt20 matched with 56 f1.2. And last the xt20 matched with 50f2 and 23f2. Which one would you reccomend as i often shoot portraits and sometimes fashion. thanks

I also came from a Canon 5D3 and 7 L-lenses. To reduce potential regret, I would go for the X-T2 with 18-55. Then follow Greg's lens buying plans.

The X-T2's EVF is so awesome. I really love a dedicated joystick for AF point selection. Having WR doesn't hurt. If you later need it, you can buy a battery grip with portrait orientation controls, which you can't do with the X-T20. It also has Fujifilm's best continuous AF and 4K video shooting capabilities.

The X-T20's advantages are the significant up-front cost savings and smaller size. If you end up going full Fuji-X, you can always buy a used X-T2 in a year or two.

If you do decide to go X-T20 I can see going 23/2 and 50/2 over just the 56/1.2. But, if you are in love with the Canon 85L, you got to get the 56/1.2.

Hehe, I can see where you are coming from (your screen appearance says "and 48 more" in your gear list) but Greg has so much gear it's not funny.

He hasn't started yet but there is already a suggestion that he might need a handgrip to make the X-T2 the same size of a camera he is just trying to leave behind (he mentions switching, right)

So why not give this poor guy some breathing space first?
