Love the vibe of your videos – long time lurker!
Which location are you in towards the end of the video?
I have the Fuji 27mm f/2.8 as my mini travel lens because it makes pretty much all their cameras pocketable 😄 Shame the AF is a bit clunky. I think that 40-50mm FF equivalent range is perfect for travelling with a single lens as it gives a really intimate feel in narrow streets and it's usually still wide enough to get the taller buildings in for longer shots.
The Paradox of choice is what hurts me and my photography the most I feel 😭
One makes do with one takes, I visited Japan back in the day with just an Olympus mju2 film camera (fixed 35mm f2.8). I’ve also visited London with just a 50 f1.8. All That said, for me the ideal small set up for most trips is a 20mm f1.8 and 55mm f1.8. And as one gets older, one doesn’t think one can always go back!
Another fire video!
Love the 35mm F2. I had the 35 1.4 which is a great lens. On my X-E3 and X-T2 the additional focus speed of the XF 35 F2 really does make a difference, and I really like the global render. I ended up keeping and preferring the 35 F2 overall. The build, weight, size and aperture ring resistance feels just perfect and weather resistance is helpful. Often I'll take a single lens on a trip or just out for a walk.
The way I see it, no matter what your choice, there are always compromises. If I take my Tamron 18-300 I have every focal range, telephoto range and image stabilization. A great choice for daytime shooting and even night stills. Just poor for low light action shots and shallow DoF at closer ranges. I accept and embrace the challenge either way. Thanks for sharing your photos and experience!
I like your video more than your photos.
I used a fixed lens Fuji camera for 10 years before switching to a Sony a7iv and I feel like it has also helped me improve my photography. I definitely miss the portability and the feeling of lightness as well; the trap of carrying a lot of gear sometimes feels cumbersome and I decide not to bring my camera with me in the first place.

Test lens 23f2 😅
I really like the mood and message here. It is really easy to overpack- especially as a photographer. Shooting with just my little fuji camera and a pancake lens has been really freeing and makes me feel very present. I have been trying to remember that I'm a traveler who photographs, not a photographer who travels, so the primary goal should be to love the process.
I always at least try and do a session with only one lens. Having too many options (even a zoom) can seriously hamper any kind of flow state
