I try to avoid switching lenses when walking places unless the focal length needed is predictable. On the other hand I am not a big fan of slow lenses with variable apertures. The Fuji 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 offers an amazingly useful range (27 to about 200mm)...

The Fujifilm X-T1 combined with the XF 23mm 1.4R prime lens is an amazing combination. This is the sharpest Fuji lens we have seen so far, even beating the very good XF 35mm 1.4. The widest opening of f/1.4 allows lovely background blur. In some...
