Hi All,

So i have decided to sell my current kit

Nikon D7100

sigma 18-35mm 1.8

There's nothing in the Fuji lineup that is as good as your Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8. The Fuji 18-55mm f2.8-4 is a good kit lens, but it's incredibly overrated and not worth at all it's standalone price.

If you want a compact standard zoom, you basically got no choice. So buy it with the body, that way you will pay an acceptable price for it (about $300, which is still a bit expensive for what it is).

The 35mm f/1.4 is a good lens, it's compact and the price is acceptable. It's not weather sealed though, I don't know if that's important to you, just keep it in mind. The 35mm f/2 is weather sealed, sharper, cheaper, smaller and has better AF. It's worth a look.

If you're really into portraits and you want something compact, the 50mm f/2 is absolutely stunning (good AF, weather sealed, compact, with amazing image quality at a good price).
