Getting a new Fuji, help for a lens?

Hi,

I was about to buy a Nikon D500 for a little of wildlife and some nature photography plus 4k video...then i tried out the new X-T3, you know how it went..

Already owning a X-E2 and 35mm 1.4, the choice was easy. So tomorrow, i'll visit my Fuji shop and going to get myself a nice X-T3. (by the way i read everything i could find on X-H1, seems like it'll be better to wait for X-H2)

Now i need help to choose lenses. I need an everyday lens and a macro. For the macro, i was thinking of 80mm. But i read that macro extension tubes work really well with some lenses so i'm kinda confused now. I mean, if the tubes really work so great, why would you or i should buy a macro lens?

I'll go to a rainy/snowy environment next week so i'll definitely need a WR lens.

So now i'm between XF16-55 and XF18-135 for everyday WR.

Also, will buy the 80mm for macro if extension tube(MCEX-16) is not the best solution.

(I'll definitely buy 100-400mm for wildlife but have to wait for a couple of months)

Thank you!
