I’ve never found my X-E3 slow. Paired with the Lensmate thumb rest it’s one of the most comfortable cameras I’ve owned. My only complaint would be battery life. I use it in high performance mode.

I wish Fuji would give us a fast 35 or 40mm equivalent prime with an aperture ring. I use the 23/2 a lot, and sometimes pine for an X100 ... but the X-E3 is so versatile.

Thanks, that's good to know. With a prime, I assume it wouldn't need a grip. What about with the 18-55?

The 18-55 is well matched with the X-E3, and certainly the 14/2.8, 23/2.0, and 35/1.4 are great complementary primes. If you want, or need to go longer the 55-200 is quite manageable on the X-E3.

Lenses are another topic I have to tackle. I've been playing with a 27mm pancake on my Canon, and that's been fun, but not so fun that I would go with Fuji X100F, at least not yet. I think I'll want some of versatility. I've looked at the 23/2, also the 35/2. I imagine I'll end up with the 18-55 to start, but am curious about the handling. I don't want to go back to toting a lot of stuff.

Here are a few X-E3 + 18-55 shots:
