Thx FM a very interesting comment. I already have one Viltrox lens 85mm f 1.8 that I love. Might consider later on to get the 13mm. For the moment I have the XF 10-24mm which I use fo events In Wa I also use at 17mm my excellent tamron 17-40 f 2.8

I can't sing the praises of that lens enough. I got it in July and it has been legitimately the most used lens on my camera since then for both photo and video. It is optically superb, pretty much completely silent, and has great AF speed and accuracy. If that lens had Fuji branding it would be at or close to a grand. Not only is it the best third party lens I have used for this system, it's easily in the top five for the mount as a whole. There are not a lot of lenses that I would say are a must-own for the Fuji system. The 13mm viltrox makes just about any application list I could think of with the exception of bird photography regardless of price point.
