Hi,

I know this is very early but my Mrs is expecting and we are planning for our first born's arrival next year. So after becoming a soon to be daddy I somehow have managed to convince my wife to to let me buy a new lens to take those awesome photos for our child.

I have an X-T10 with an 18-55. I am not a pro but like I have learnt a lot with this setup. I have been looking at Fuji's XF 90mm F2 R LM WR.

Just wondering what the guru's of dpreview think about the best lens for a newborn to go along with 18-55 or if that is enough?

TIA

Not withstanding what people are posting on the thread there is something to be said for doing one flash photo at an early stage, to check for the rare but very nasty retinoblastoma. Nothing to worry about but It is a simple check that can save a lot of grief later and I know this from harsh experience.

Of course if and how the flash is taken is subject to the reader's own personal discretion and risk assessment.
