Re: 56 vs 90: Who is more versatile? Discuss.

To simply complement the 16-55, the 90 makes a lot of sense, especially on an X-H1 with IBIS. However, after owning both, I prefer the 56 for portraits, and sold the 90. Although I have the 80 if I really need a tighter head shot with more MFD than the 56 can deliver. So if you aren't primarily a portrait shooter, the 80 is another consideration if you do any close-up work, but for a single portrait lens, the 56 is the one.
