Your choice of Fuji's Trinity prime kit ?

We all know that a lot of Fuji users move down from high end full frame DSLR kits for the reason of downsizing. No exception, I moved from a nikon D800E, and i'm a prime shooter mainly at 24mm, 35mm and 85mm. I used to own a 300mm f2.8 but I am not using it that often.

Considering IQ + weight,

Would you prefer:

-14mm f2.8 + 23mm f2 + 60mm macro

or

-16mm f1.4 + 23mm f2 + 56mm f1.2

I really need a 35mm equivalent focal length, so 23mm always has a spot in my kit. Considering the weight f2 is a much better choice for me personally.

The question comes down to the wide end, i would prefer a 24mm equivalent light lens, i.e., 16mm f2/f2.8. However, 16mm f1.4 is almost double the weight of 14mm and f1.4 isnt something i would need for a wide angle lens.

At the tele-end, again, 56mm is the ultimate portrait lens ( i wont consider 90mm due to its weight). However, 60mm seems to be a steal lens at half of its weight and price. I understand its slow focus and relatively slow aperture, but dual purpose lens is always a plus.

what do you guys think if u can only have 3 primes ?

I um’d and ah’d over this for nearly 6 months looking at 16, 56, 90

eventually sanity prevailed and I ordered X-T2 with 16-55 and the 90. Few months ago added the 10-24.

very happy with my decision and suits my style of shooting.

The only thing that would make me ditch my Nikon D810 If a good close up macro and macro flash which Fuji does not have at the moment. Still happy though, as I have said before it’s choosing the right tool for the job and there is no “one size fits all”
