I'm beginner in photography and I'm going to use FUJIFILM X-S20 with two lenses: one zoom and other fix lenses.
Which of these lenses do you recommend for me or maybe there are other ideas?

One lens from: Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD vs. Fujifilm XF 16-80mm F4
And
One lens from: Sigma 56mm F1.4 DC DN | C vs. Fujifilm XF 50mm f/2 R WR

I understand that they differ in aperture, but these lenses are in the same price category.
So when I choose a lens, first of all I look at the budget I can spend.
 
I'm no pro so tthis is worth what you paid for it. I shoot a Nikon 7000 and mainly use one lens, a Tamron 10-200. For the f stops, if I need less than 18 then I need a flash. A.d if I need more than 22, well, can't imagine it being that bright out and taking picture's.

I have never felt the need for less than 18mm, maybe have and simply didn't know it. And if I need more than 200, I have a Nikon 55-300 I use once in a while. also have a 170-500 Tamron I seldom have a need for. I'm a big believer in the idea that zoom lens give you a huge advantage, every thing from start to finish is covered. Lot less walking around to get the right shot. But I do walk around looking for the angle I like best!

I look at a lot of photo's on facebook and most are aright but poor positioning in my mind to show off the subject and tell a story at the same time. One photo sticks in my mind is of a barn. But way in front of the barn is a cow and looks like the cow was focused on. Add nothing to the photo! Actually distracts from the barn for me. In a lot of other barn photo's and house photo's, the primary object takes up the whole frame and no story to be told!
