Travel photography – but with only one lens choice – Page 2 – Chat Forum

Going away to Tuscany in Sept and for various 'fast and light' reasons if I take my Fuji X-T1 with me I will only be able to take one prime lenses. Don't want to buy any more lenses just for the trip. So if you had a choice between either a 28mm (equiv) or a 50mm (equiv) prime and could only take 1. Which one would you take?

Err... No. If you prefer wide normal to normal that is. If not, yes. Barking.

I wouldn't loose a 35mm for a 23mm
You can use a 35 for all round photography, as a struggle you can take a portrait, you can use it for landscape and street photography.
A 23 has only one use. Wide angle landscape.
You'd be bonkers.

Remember it's APSC so 23mm is 35mm and 35mm is 50mm

35 and 50 (equiv) are both appropriate as an all round lenses. It's a preference.

Or push conventional thinking.
