So you got the wide angle in the end then marty? i had the kit 18-55 for a week and was surprised by how wide everything appeared at 18mm, didnt keep it though as i was after something longer not wider so swapped it for the 55-200 for the birdy shots. Wide angles deff have there uses, especially in rooms etc where even a prime is a bit too zoomed in.

I was going to get the 18-200, but ended up getting the 55-200 for ?100 instead, which worked out very good value for the few times I've actually needed that focal length. I always end up using the 35mm 1.8 though, such a lovely bit of glass for the money. Theres been times when i COULD of used a wide angle, gotta weigh up whether i NEED one however, the answer is usually no, dam you cameras and your addictive lenses.Last edited by fishbowlhead; 16-05-2013, 15:14.

...but I think you've got the main ones, Fuji really started cooking with the S2 onwards.

Hmm, I don't have any 4/3rd cameras ...
You can pick up the S2 Pro for under ?100 now, although it's a quirky setup with its two different battery types - fun camera to use though. In fact, you can get a job lot of 20 of them on eBay at the mo.

A 35mm lens would give you roughly 50mm - the S series are Nikon F mount. These are about ?150 though. (2nd hand one for ?120 here)
Not sure whether the S2 meters with old lenses as I've not tried it - if so you could go down the adapter route (M42, Pentax K, OM) and get a manual lens 28mm or 35mm on the cheap.Last edited by MartyG; 17-05-2013, 11:02.
