Re: Prime Lens Path for X-T20

I know we are all different as far as what we prefer, but for the expenditure would you rather the 4 Primes or for convenience the Zoom + the 56mm Prime?

That is you trying to sell the prime option to yourself instead of being honest about the actual cost.

The X-T20 + 18-55mm = 1199

the 56mm F1.2 = 999 with the bundle 2198,-

the 90mm F2 = 949,- with the bundle 2148,-

total

The body only is 899,-

The 23mm F2 is 449,-

The 35mm F2 is 399,-

The 50mm F2 is 432,-

The 90mm is 949,-

Total 3128,- compared to 2148,- While still not having a decent wide-end option the 23mm being as wide as you can go

Your comparing a set 50% more expensive and ask which to choose. given the same expenditure............... That's being dishonest against yourself trying to defend your already pre determined choice to go with the primes.

The money invested in the 18-55mm is never lost. You can sell close to the bundle price even if you decide you'd want to shoot primes.

To answer your question. it's a rare occasion that it's not the answer but the question that is dumb.
