Small Budget Lenses for Fuji X

[@thomashill5768]

If you remove the ridiculous lens hood, the xf60 is actually very light and compact. Everybody hates it so it's usually pretty cheap on eBay too. It's my favorite Fuji lens, insane IQ and extremely versatile. It's not a macro lens and the focus is slow and noisy but if you can get past those two things it's an absolute banger...

Some good lenses there. I also have the Fujifilm xc 15-45, xc 35 f2, viltrox 56 f1.7, all cheap and solid. Looking for a compact AF wide 18mm for video, but can’t seem to find one though.

18mm is tough to come by in prime lenses, the sigma 18-50 could be a good call!

[@D88182]

@@TySPAID yeah I have the sigma 18-50, it’s compact in terms of zoom standard, but it’s not as compact as the f2 primes made by Fuji.

How did the X-S20 hold up while skiing? I know its not WR so that has me skeptical to bring mine on the mountain. Good showcase, I have the Sirui 33 f1.2 I agree the image is awesome out of it

Can’t say I’d recommend anyone doing it, but I’ve had mine out in the rain and snow before and it’s been fine, just try to keep it outside of whatever bag you have as little as possible

Vibes asf. I've been feeling kinda limited by my one lens (xf35mmf2), so I was looking at some fuji zooms (mainly xf16-80f4) to miss out on less compositions, but then I remembered 3rd party exists. What's your take? Do I cop a general purpose zoom (if so is 3rd party the move?) or get two 3rd party primes, one narrower one wider, for the price of a fujinon? I've got an xt30 so size and maybe OIS are important. Thanks!

I feel like the sigma 18-50 is a great option for size and versatility!
