Hi All,

So i have decided to sell my current kit

Nikon D7100

sigma 18-35mm 1.8

sigma 50-150mm 2.8

Nikon 10.5 mm fish eye 2.8

All for the XT3. I do a lot of travel photography, street and some portraits. My question now is, is the kit-lens worth buying with the camera? or body only and then source out other lenses like the 16-55mm 2.8 from fuji. I had this set up in mind below:

XT3 with 18-55 kit lens

fuji 35mm 1.4 or 35mm f2?

Thanks

Depends on your budget.  Kit lenses from all makers - and yes that includes Fuji - are not their top of the line.  Good glass will last over multiple cameras.
