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.

Thanks,i do love the 85L and 50L (these two are the only thing that holds me back before). The only worry i have is if i will have the same image quality re xt20 and xt2. I've read lots of reviews and they are saying that it is the same. But i wanted to hear it from personal experience.
