The "kit lens" it comes with is excellent. I would not buy anything else until I got familiar with the camera and got it set up the way you want it. THEN decide what you need based on what you want to do with it. All the Fuji glass is excellent. The next one I would probably buy, based on what I like to do, is the 50-140 F/2.8, which is a behmoth of a lens, but according to Rockwell, "The Fuji XF 50-140mm OIS WR is the best APS-C telephoto zoom of any brand. It's optically superb, has fantastic image stabilization and is faster and better made than the others." But for general use, the 50-200 would be the other lens to have. Smaller, lighter and cheaper.
I actually do have the 50-200, and the 18-135, also a 12mm prime from Rokinon, as well as the kit lens.

Thank you for your kind reply. I've been eyeing that camera for some time now.

I recommend the new Sony A7III. I have already ordered one. It is a game-changer for its price/performance. Already the best selling camera (mirrorless or DSLR) at B&H Photo, Adorama, and Amazon.

You can still find excellent compact full-frame Sony lenses like the 28mm f2, 50mm f1.8, 85mm f1.8, and several 35mm lenses that are not heavy at all. An excellent all-around lens is the Sony 24-105mm f4 . It is not heavy and balances just fine on the full-frame Sony A7-series cameras. I have one.

Yes the longer zooms like 70-200mm and 100-400mm are heavier, but every camera makers' full-frame 70-200mm and 100-400mm are heavy to have that many glass elements and image stabilization. Cheers

I didn't realize that camera is currently available.

Geesus. Now I understand what The Temptations meant when they sang "Ball of Confusion". Maybe that should be the name of this site.

I also had Nikons since the first FM came out. I still have two Nikon DSLR's, one of them full frame and one 5500. The camera I USE is my Fuji. After using the Fuji, I simply cannot tolerate the frustration of using the Nikons. I do not need a full frame. The fuji prints are indistinguishable from the FF Nikon's. If anything they are better, perhaps that is the lens talking.

If nothing else, go somewhere where you can get your hands on a Fuji XT-2. Rent one for a day and take some photos. You won't regret it.

Pro Master GH10 around $150 works extremely well with that lens.

I am thinking buying Nikon 24-70 f 2.8 lens. There is a big price difference between VR and non VR lens. Wondering if it is necessary to have VR lens? Does it justify the price difference?

Can some experts give some insight?

Depends on how steady you are. VR never hurts.

This is a photography forum. Maybe you were not aware of that. You can kind of assume the people posting here might just own cameras and take them along on major trips.


All I can say is I have a great deal of empathy for your mental health challenges. I hope you find a psychiatrist who is willing and able to help you.

Very nice image with above average sharpness and detail. JimBob has been drinking that varnish too long.


Geesus. You guys really do a disservice to the OP when you compliment him/her on a poor image. If you really want to see a sharp image of a squirrel take a gander here: http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-472039-1.html

What does taking a trip to one of the world's great photographic destinations have to do with photography?

I do not know.


Geesus man. Go back and read the OP. No where does he say anything about photography. Can you really be that much of a dunce?

I am posting this question not only for myself but for my 18 y/o son as well. He would like a new camera for his birthday, there are so many different makes, models, and options out there I have no idea where to begin. Any suggestions for a a good camera that both my son & I can use that won't become obsolete as our picture taking skills advance?


"Photigraphy"? What's that?

Might be a "nice squirrel" but your capture does not do it justice. That's the unvarnished truth.
