fuji users…ideal 3 lens kit?

I picked up the 14, 23, and 55-200 while in NYC.
The 23 focuses much faster than the 35, the only XF lens I had been using for two years up to this point. I don't find the 23 too big or unwieldy on the X-Pro1.
I'll eventually pick up the 56, and the high-speed wide.
And the X-Pro2 12-18 months after its initial release.
 
I thought I'd be happy with my three lens kit of 14, 35 and 60. Then the 55-200 came along and I thought it would be good to have the extended range of telephoto. So I bought one. Now, I have FOUR lenses and don't want to give up any even though my camera bag is heavier and stuffed.
 
35, 14, and my C/Y Zeiss 50mm 1.4.

But in all seriousness I am more than happy to live with the 35mm alone. I want to like the 18mm but I'd rather have a GR.

get the all plastic 50-230 lens…very lightweight.
 
Think I am going to go with a 2-lens kit for now for my XT-1
23 and the 60.

I may eventually swap the 56 for the 60. And I do like the small size of the 27.
But really think those two primary lenses should cover just about everything I would do.

i have been thinking along the same lines...
not sure but i have 2 zooms that i might keep for the occasional romp of a different nature...
 
Now that I have the 56mm, I'm quite sure the kit will be 23, 35, 56 for me. For most of my work shoots, I think 23 and 56 will do the job. 50mm equiv fov is my personal favorite so 35mm will stay with me anyway. After (kinda) getting use to the size of 23 and 56, 35 is quite "tiny."
 
Can't narrow down to 3 lenses. So it will be the 14,23.35 and 56. Now I have to get rid of the 18 and 18-55. I also have the x100 that I just don't want to get rid of. Just love the feel of that camera.

My feelings exactly, down to the 35.

I hope to save up for the 56 and get it when I'm back in Taipei this summer.
 
Just picked up an X-Pro1 with "free" 18mm and 35mm lenses under the deal that Fuji is offering in the UK right now. The equivalent full frame lengths of 28mm and 50mm (approx) sit well with me. I wouldn't mind the 14mm at some point but, more likely is the 60mm for portraits and street / travel shots.

Off to Munich tomorrow, I'm also taking my Bessa R4M with 21mm/f4 and 35mm/f1.2 to fill in the gaos and compare.
