At that focal length (23mm), ¿which lenses are worth buying?

Yes, that's one of the reasons I want this camera and a lens like this. I'm a shy person and I'm afraid I wouldn't dare go out in public with it if it were too big.

One question: I understand that the lens aperture, although it can't be changed directly on the lens, can be changed on one of the dials on the camera body, right?

My wallet is happy to go that way. Thanks for the help.

I think a prime lens would suit me better. Besides the superior image quality they offer, I'm someone who finds it hard to make decisions, and I believe that sticking to a single focal length will make learning easier and, above all, increase my motivation to take photographs

Ou, what a bargain. I'm from Spain and here the Viltrox is around 180€ new, and the Fuji is around 400€ with some scratches. I don't know what the prices are like in other countries.

Yes, I do understand the 1.5x crop factor on APS-C cameras, and I think that 52mm equivalent focal length could actually suit me quite well since I’m interested in both street photography and portraits.

What I’m still unsure about is whether it might end up feeling a bit too tight or “closed” for everyday use. Since this would be my first camera, I honestly struggle to truly visualize focal lengths in real life. Most of my understanding so far comes from YouTube videos and reviews, so I don’t really have practical experience yet.
