TL;DR: Grab the Fujifilm XF 27mm f/2.8 R WR for $400. Honestly love how tiny it is! I've used it for years; its basically invisible and totally weather sealed for Chicago.

Love the X-Pro3! Need weather sealing? Chicago is wet so reliability is huge!

• WR gear stays safe
• Fujifilm XF 23mm f/2 R WR is wider
• Fujifilm XF 50mm f/2 R WR is zoomed

Great info, saved!

> I want to start walking around downtown Chicago this weekend to practice but I only have the body right now and no lens at all. Id be super careful walking around downtown with a brand new camera setup if youre not totally comfortable with it yet. Honestly, Chicago can get pretty hectic. I think you might want to consider just getting a lens that feels sturdy and isnt too flashy so you dont draw any extra attention to yourself. Not sure but I feel like some of the third party lenses might be a bit risky with their electronics compared to the genuine glass. I would suggest sticking with the official stuff even if it costs a bit more since its safer for your camera body. Just make sure to read up on the mounts so you dont accidentally buy something that doesnt fit right. Irc, mixing brands can sometimes be a headache if things dont communicate perfectly. Just take it slow and be safe out there.

I think you might want to consider a 35mm focal length for that classic look. Not 100% sure but I recall people saying it's easier to learn on than wider glass.

• Be careful with really wide lenses, they can be kinda tricky to compose.
• Make sure to get something compact so you actually want to carry it around Chicago.
• Heavy stuff should probably be avoided for now while you're learning.
