ive been looking into lenses for my new x-pro3 for a while now but i keep going back and forth between the 23mm f2 and the 35mm f2. i read that the 23mm is the standard for street stuff but then i see people saying the 35mm is better for getting those tight shots without getting right in peoples faces which i'm kinda nervous about. i'm heading to chicago in a few weeks and i want to really get into street photography there. i really want something that doesnt block the optical viewfinder too much.
here is what i'm looking for:
- budget is under $500 so maybe used is fine
- must be weather sealed for the lakefront wind/rain
- small enough to keep the rangefinder vibe
- snappy autofocus is a huge plus
is there another option i'm missing or should i just pick one of those two...
I've stuck with the Fujifilm Fujinon XF 23mm f/2 R WR for years and honestly im still super satisfied. It handled a messy trip to London once without a single issue and I have no complaints at all.
- pick it up used for $300
- tiny and fast AF
- doesnt block the OVF much Saving money on a used copy lets you buy more gear later anyway!
