I have the 18-55mm 15-45mm and the TTartisans 27mm I would like the 27mm with an aperture ring Fuji lens weather sealed I intend to keep both other zoom lenses as I have a use for both of them though the 18-55mm is my choice most of the time but not always I also like the 23mm F2 and 35mm F2 Fuji lenses both weather sealed which I find I need a lot in the UK weather I tend to use the 23mm lens the over all most I have an XT30 like you and bought it with the 15-45mm lens I recently bought an XT3 and the bigger lens sits great on it and looks good.......Tony
I have a kind of similar set of lenses: Fuji 18-55, TT Artisan 27, Fuji XC 35 f2, (instead of the Fuji 27), Sigma 56 f/1.4 (instead of YN50) plus a Viltrox 85 f1.8 (I love long lenses). If I where you, I'd get rid of the XC15-45, TT Artisan 27 and YN50 to get either a Fuji 35 XF f2 (small, kind of cheap on used market, portable, one stop brighter than 2.8 and WR if you get some day a WR body) or a Sigma 30 or 56 (kind of small, kind of cheap, kind of WR -not rated but with rubber gasket - and having at least one lens with an f1.4 aperture is very handy). My sigma is on par with a Fuji in term of IQ. Maybe, sell the Fuji 27 and keep the TT Artisan, if you go with the sigma 30 or Fuji 35 XF f2. Definitively sell the TT Artisan, if you buy the Sigma 56. I say all that but in fact, I'm thinking about adding a 15-45 to my kit (along with an X-M1).
If you sell the two lenses you mentioned, you would be able to get close to a used Sigma 18-50 or new if you shop around. I had the Fuji 18-55 but sold it and got the Sigma instead. The lack of an aperture ring is not that much of an issue once you get used to working with the front dial. The weight and size plus constant f2.8 makes it worth it in my opinion. IQ is also very good on the Sigma.
well if I got Sigma 18-50 then I would sell XF18-55 also. But how they compare is sigma bigger than fuji lens? also do you lack that extra 5mm on the tele end?
@@ShotsByJev The Sigma is certainly lighter and more compact than the 18-55. But the Fuji has OIS, the Sigma does not. Personally I don't really miss the extra 5mm all that much but others might. The Sigma is also not weather sealed, it has a dust gasket at the mount but that's it. I think the Sigma is a great choice if you do not have a short zoom.
I have the 18-55 and the 23 mm f2, both of which I like, but sometimes I wish I had the Fuji 27 mm (newer one) because it’s so inconspicuous. In your case I would exchange the 2 27s for that one.
@@ShotsByJev I think it's fine, it remembers your last focal distance. One ring for slow zooming, the other one for fast, useful for videos. The only problem for me was an absence of focal range indicators and the only way to see it was through an image review. So what I did is I've painted focal markings on the lens barrel. 😁
I have the v2 of the 27mm. My setup usually is Street: fuji 27mm + fuji 16mm f2.8 in the bag Travel: fuji 18-55 + fuji 27 Trekking: fuji 18-55 + fuji 55-200 Night shots: Fuji 35mm 1.4 Had but sold the viltrox 85 (to bulky) and the TTartisan 27 (had issues with autofocus) Only third party lens i have is a fully manual macro that works fine enough
Only lens I’m bringing for my Europe trip in 2 days is my xf27mm 2.8!!
Very wise choise!

Yeah, on X-T3 bigger lens definitely feels better!
I have the 18-55 and 27mm newer version, pretty happy with both lenses.
Yeah, nice and simple kit you got!

Thanks for your thoughts! Will definitely need to think it over and make some desicions!

Yeah, I figured Sigma doesnt have OIS and it is a bummer, the combination of Fuji OIS and IBIS is great for me.
Thank you, this video is very useful for me, since I recently switched from canon to fujifilm ✌🏼
Nice! Hope you will have a great time with your new Fuji camera!
15-45 is an uber underrated lens, it's actually pretty good on the wide end.
Yes, I totally agree with that, but still that power zoom was a bit pain in the ass for me.

this is some serious diy you got! if I wouldnt have xf18-55 I would definitely use your advice to put markings on the lens barrel!
Thats what I am thinking!
I have the v2 of the 27mm.
My setup usually is
Street: fuji 27mm + fuji 16mm f2.8 in the bag
Travel: fuji 18-55 + fuji 27
Trekking: fuji 18-55 + fuji 55-200
Night shots: Fuji 35mm 1.4
Had but sold the viltrox 85 (to bulky) and the TTartisan 27 (had issues with autofocus)
Only third party lens i have is a fully manual macro that works fine enough
I see you use quite wide set up for streets, I prefer shooting from a distance, so considering something even more tele than 50mm lens.
