My usual lightweight kit is Fuji XE-1 with the 56mm f1.2 (85mm equivalent) and the Fuji X100S, which has a fixed 23mm f2 lens (35mm equivalent). If I need to photograph a wide angle view, I will just take a multi frame panorama, that is all. This pretty much lets me do what I want, except shoot action/wildlife, with a backup body, to boot! If I replace the X100S with the X100F, then the batteries are common with the rest of the X series as well, which further reduces the mess we have to carry!
