I agree, but then it seems to me, the 85 Samyang should be removed from consideration as well.

First, priorities...be sure and eat at L'As du Fallafel in the Marais (Paris). Chez Marianne, down the street is pretty good too. And don't miss 'rue Mouffetard' in the 5th for grabbing picnic food ...

I kinda agree about LR, but you can get very results with LR these days. Just avoid strong in-camera sharpening / high NR with high ISO and most of your issues with LR will disappear. Promise. I've ...

I use my XT2 predominantly for street shooting and I'm very happy with the f1.4. That said, obviously the f2 is a bit quicker. I don't find the difference impacting my results. YMMV. Also, I mostly ...

For (pro) landscape photography, using hyperfocal distance is essential. Having the scales on the lens barrel makes that far easier. https://photographylife.com/hyperfocal-distance-explained

When I read "As a mostly landscape shooter" ..decision made...get the f1.4 for the depth of field scales. At full price, it's very hard to justify the f1.4 over the f2, but at these sale prices? ...

In my direct comparison between the 23 f1.4 vs f2, I preferred the IQ of the f1.4. For example, I found the f2 rendering unnaturally contrasty and a little over-saturated. I took advantage of the ...

yep.  Just used my Adorama $100 gift card for the 35 f2.  $199 can't be resisted.

Lots of good suggestions in the thread. Here's my preference: PhotoMechanic + Iridient + PS CC.

Well, I own a X-T2 (and love it). I found the dpreview team's X-T2 review to be generally spot-on in its assessment. I read nothing I found factually or experientially inaccurate. For example, the ...

Well deserved Gold Award. That said, I hope this review will put to rest the "X-T2 AF is as good as the D5/D500!" silliness promoted by many on this forum and certain Angry youtube reviewers.

I haven't tried Rebecca's presets.  May be true. Subjective, for sure regardless.

I get it., but you left out the most important fact:  Fuji doesn't make a 400H preset.  So until they do, shoot film or try some of these sims.

That preset will come quite close with the only alternative being...just shoot film, which I fully support!!  An apsc size digital sensor vs a 6x7 negative will have inherit differences that are ...

Really?  You don't catalog your images at all, i.e. Lightroom, etc?  Applying a film sim via Lightroom requires as near zero effort as it gets. The VSCO film packs are quite good.

35 vs 23...I have a strong preference for the 23 (35mm FOV). Certainly, others will feel the same way about the 35 (50mm FOV). I'm a commercial, fashion, portrait shooter, so pro landscape shooters ...

As others have pointed out...if you prioritize AF speed and / or size, get the f2. If looking for the best $ value, f2. But I would keep in mind, Fuji lenses are on sale quite often, sometimes 5 ...

First lens , 56 vs 90 = 56. For AF speed ... 90mm all the way. The 90mm is Fuji's highest IQ combined with Fuji's highest AF performance. Color = very subjective. That said, hand-holding the 90 ...

"teetering on the edge of bringing the forum into disrepute" ... sorry but "disrepute" was attained years ago.  Disrepute is a compliment at this point.
