What is wrong with me? Or, a journey through focal lengths

Re: What is wrong with me? Or, a journey through focal lengths

I guess this 'fear' may be because I started with street photography? It felt like people suggested that going tele with street photography is the lazy, easy option, and that stuck in my head for photography in general.

I had no idea that Ansel Adams shot those focal lengths. I guess I always defaulted to expecting a wider FOV.

Mmmmm, so my next lens might be either the Mitakon 35mm f0.95 or the XF 90mm f2. Very different lesnes, both with their difficulties, but both appear to be excellent.

The 56mm is possibly the only lens in the Prime Fujifilm lineup that I am not that interested in. It is far too close to the XF 60mm and the XF 50mm and I prefer both of those for different reasons. I wouldn't give up size, weight and macro of the XF 60mm for the extra stops of the 56mm. At least not as I am now.
