I currently use a Nikon D7200, but with the price of the X-H1 dropping to $999 I've decided to try out a mirrorless system. My initial thought was to buy the 35mm f/2 lens, with the intention of buying the 50mm f/2 lens if I liked the camera. (I don't do much shooting at wide angles.) However, if I buy it with the camera, I can get the 16-55mm f/2.8 lens for $699 (rather than the regular price of $1199). Any thoughts on which way I should go?

I already owned the 16-55 f2.8 which i used with my X-T1, after buying my X-H1 last August I wrote, on other forums, that after using the X-H1 with the 16-55 f2.8 I considered it to be a marriage made in heaven. A year later I am even more firmly convinced that it's true.
