Lens combo for documentary photography

Thank you all for all the input and your time.

I already bought the 56mm 1,2 because I found a new one for a really good price.

Regarding my x100f - I really like shooting with the camera, it's just sometimes I end up unfocused, but of course, it might be my mistake using the single focus point incorrectly. So that's why I was thinking about having the new 23mm.

The question is really between the 18mm and 23mm. I don't like zoom lenses.

Maybe some more info.

I like to take shots of landscape as well. I always used either my old nikon f2a with the 35mm 1,4, or my x100f. So as some of you said, I'm used to the focal length.

I really like the suggestions with 18/35/56 or 14 (possibly 16?)/23/56. I was thinking that when (and if) I buy another body, I would have 3, possibly 4 lenses.

So now the question is whether I should just keep on using the x100f as my second body before I save some money, and go for the 18mm, since the 23mm is covered? Uuh, I just don't know.

If the X100F isn’t working for you, maybe it’s time to move on, but it really ought to be able to focus OK - I only used the F briefly, but it focused fine for me (and I have no trouble with my V).

The 18mm f/1.4 is fantastic and is the best performing lens I’ve used on Fuji X. Great for landscapes and documentary style shooting, razor sharp in the corners.

For a super wide prime, I highly recommend the new Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 - very versatile with its fast aperture, close focusing ability and amazing edge to edge performance and freedom from CA/fringing at any aperture. It actually rivals the stellar 18 for sharpness.
