It's a nice article. Certainly the topic discussed here resonates with my current approach. I am a Fuji user, and after the 18-55 mm lens that came with my XT2 I bought a the 55-200 mm tele, to get better at composition by ruling out unnecessary elements from the image. I really wanted to try a prime lens and I bought in 2020 a used 35mm F1.4 lens. According to my Lightroom catalog, 85% of the pictures taken on a 1 year span after purchasing it were taken with that 35mm lens. I remember always feeling that I was too close to the subject I wanted to shoot with that lens, and having to take a few steps back. But slowly it changed and I got myself used to that focal length and being able to almost predict the framing before putting the camera to my eye. Nevertheless, I often found that the 35mm lens was too tight, and I tried the 23mm f2. It's a great lens, but after being used to shoot with the 35 mm I often find myself "lost" in the frame, as it is a rather large for my taste. Maybe the 27mm would be the go to option, and I've decided to rent it to test it out. My point is that reducing your kit is a nice thing to do, especially in today's world where soberty is the only way to tackle the alarming decrease of resources, but it takes time, tries and errors to find the right lens for you, and it also takes time to get used to a lens. Despite all the YouTube reviews I binge watched, in the end it took me 1 year to feel the 35mm lens, and it has been a nice photographic journey to do so.
