The Fuji Trinity: My 3 Favorite Fuji Lenses 

the barry white of photography

"Connection over compression." That's a great way to look at it!

Man your voice is so calm, and talking about the lenses makes it sound like it has a soul. Like it is part of you. Very nice, "pass it too the left hand side".

My wife walked passed while I was watching this. She heard your voice, decided it was "Dreamy", and this now represents the first photography-based video she's ever watched....She's also demanded I subscribe. I'm not feeling inadequate at all...really, I'm not :(

"Connection over compression" - Fantastic stuff Ted

I started my journey into Fuji a couple of months ago with a used X-T1 and the 18-55mm. I was so impressed with the system that I sold it and got the X-Pro2 and now have these 3 lenses. Just last night I got the 56mm and took a couple of pictures of my wife and literally spent maybe 10-15 minutes just looking at them. It's REALLY sharp, even wide open and the bokeh is spectacular. My wife seamed happy for me, patiently listening to my rambling. It's a good thing that she has no idea of the price of the system. For me, I now feel that I don't need any more lenses and hopefully I can now control my gear acquisition syndrom or at least direct it towards cheaper thing (I sound like an alcoholic in denial). Anyway, thanks for all the great videos /Kjell

ted im currently building my fuji system and i am following your trinity. i have now the 35mmf2 and 56mmf1.2. im about to get the 16mmf1.4 this month-end. Your video helped me build the confidence in my gear and my skill. thank you.

I was surprised that the 23 mm F2 wasn’t one of your favourite three in place of the 35mm! I agree with you on the 16 & 56.

A small number of photographers simply understand this art PROPERLY! You have got to be one of those few! Thanks for sharing. About to purchase the X-T2 !!

Absolutely love the way you do black and white, beautiful, very little grey, love them!

I like this guy.. honest and straight to the point !

Is this Blunty on valium?

Hi Ted, first time commenter here. Love your videos man, your enthusiasm is infectious. Just bought the 16mm for my x-t1 (based largely on your positive feedback and championing it!), can't wait to get out there and use it. I have a request please Ted... As a total amateur myself and just getting into photography as a hobby I'd love for you to make a video or two about your daily/weekly routine as a professional photographer. Out of all the people doing photography videos on RU-vid yours is a voice I really enjoy hearing (I mean that figuratively and literally haha) and I'd love to know more about how you divide up your day and week, what jobs you select to take on and how you choose, how you balance working with still going out and shooting for yourself, how you got into it in the first place, some of your proudest photography moments... things like that. I think all of your followers would enjoy that inspiration as much as your great insights into the gear itself. Keep it coming man

I've got these same three lenses. Having just bought the 16mm f1.4 last weekend... Also great vids. Keep the Fuji stuff coming Ted.

I'd choose the 23mm f2 because I'm still in love with the original X100 the 35mm f2 because of its size and speed and the 56mm f1.2 APD because it's unique and magic. Thanks for the beautiful pictures and great review you rock as always!

THE most chilled review.

That dude has the coolest voice. I want him to read children's stories to me. "three little pigs... Okaaaayyyy. Yuuueeaahh". excellent video, btw. that's what I wanted to hear. thinking of picking up the X-t2 and thinking maybe primes are the way to go

just found this video during my research into fujifilm cameras and lenses. You are one cool dude, man! With a voice like that, You should be sitting on a stage, with one spotlight on you, a fedora set at a rakish angle, playing the blues on a vintage Dobro slide guitar, through a haze of cigarette smoke and whisky. Fantastic!!! 😄👍

Excellent Choice Ted. I have all three Lens and they cover my three top subjects: People, Place & Culture. Always those three with two bodies when i travel👍🏽

You are such a cool guy. Keep em coming. I am thinking of seriously going to Fuji.

It has to be said, with so many photographers giving their views about photography and equipment, that this man Vieira is excellent. The excellent cadence of the voice helps, although that is just 'there'. What isn't just natural, instead considered, and the really good thing here - and not just for me as someone who uses the Fuji X system - is the enthusiasm and clear explanation of choices made.

Other than having the 35 f1.4 instead of the f2, those are my three go to lenses for pretty much everything. Did 10 days in Edinburgh and Paris last summer with that trilogy and 2 bodies and never wished I had anything else. I do love the 90 f2 but it's a bit more limited for use than the big three.

got all three, no doubt great lenses, I got the 35f2 about a month ago what a lovely lens, I am happy sold my 32 for this 35! I still think the 23mm is the great lens for street, way bigger than 35 but the upcoming 23mmf2 should take care of that problem! Good to see you again Ted, as always so passionate with your hardware!

I have the 16mm/35f2/56 and I fully agree...I'm just waiting for the 23f2 and the rumoured 8-16mm and then I will be complete. I love the contrast in your street photos. Beautiful stuff :)

My top three: 23/1.4 56/1.2 18-55 I'm not a pro, I'm an enthusiast who shoots a little bit of everything with an emphasis on street photography. So, the 18-55 covers a lot of general photography bases for me. My favorite lens is the 23/1.4. It's a classic. 35mm equivalence is my favorite, and to have a FAST 35 is a dream for me. Speaking of dreams, the 56/1.2 is like living in a dream world with that bokeh!

Hi Ted. Just wanted to say thanks for all your videos and this one in particular. I recently switched from Canon fullframe (5D4) to X-T2. Big step but I couldn't be happier after 10+ years of heavy equipment! I now have the 56/1.2 and 35/2 and today I picked up the mighty 16/1.4. What a lens! I didn't think a wide-angle could be so much fun. Thanks for pushing my decisions in the right direction! Cheers from Sweden! // Henry

Well you have been an amazing help. I stopped shooting back in the film days (Nikon FA and F3) - only had primes, 24 / 35 / 50 /105 (all manual). I picked up a X70 just to take some snap shots - WOW. The best pocket camera ever. It got me excited again and I love the Fuji system. It was like getting back on a bike again - all manual and similar layout to my old Nikon manual bodies. I found your videos and they have been very helpful. I just ordered the XT2 with the 16mm - with that 1.4, wow. Seems like probably one of Fuji's best lens. I also took a shot on the new 50mm F2. I am going to start there, haven;t seen much reviews on the 50mm F2 - very new, but I figured I needed a second lens and pushed it to the farther end of focal lengths from the 16mm and also after spending big money on the 16mm and T2, I needed to drop a little less money on my next purchase. Questions: I too usually only traveled with 2 or 3 primes. (24 / 50 or 35 / 105 - full frame in the old days) - use to carry one in my pocket and one on the camera - hated bags. Now with the 16mm and the 50mm, I was thinking about either the 23mm f2 or the 35mm f2. Which of the two would you get next, knowing what I have? I saw the Rokinon 85mm 1.4 with a fuji x mount. All manual focus, but wow - love the compression and softer look. At around $300, do you have any thoughts on it? Not many reviews of that lens on the fuji - but the reviews I did read seem to really like it. Do you shoot any inferred? If so - any recommendations on the fuji? Thank for the great videos.

Wow...what did I just stumble onto!!! Great video, and channel Ted! I’m a new Fujifilm shooter, I sold my Panasonic GH4/ G7/ and G9 and purchased an X-T3...which compliments my Sony A7Rii. I just shot my first model job with the Fuji along with the 56mm F1.2 and WOW!! I was so blown away by the characteristics within the images I was able to achieve! I’m finally looking forward to shooting everyday again!

Thanks for the video. Just ordered an XT2 with the 35 f2. Sold my Canon 5d iii and all my Canon gear.

Ted, the 16 mm is my addiction.

I was recently told "nobody speaks like you with your smooth prolonged pronunciation of words". I need to show them your videos to show that I'm not alone in that. haha P.S. I miss your videos on using Fuji's. Although, the videos on film are also interesting.

Could not agree more. I've only used the 56 as a rental, but I will get it eventually. Since I'm always on a budget, I went for a 56mm Voigtlander Nokton, which is about half the price and beautiful as well, but ... manual lens, plus you have to use an adapter for Fuji; it's got a Nikon mount. There's a humble little lens that makes me almost as happy as your three, and that's the modest little 27mm pancake, especially for the street. Surprisingly fast AF, no fuss, and tiny.

These there are my most used lenses also. I cover events with these, fitting only in a small tenba dna 8 bag.. 56 is my all time favourite lens cross brands.

When he says of the 56 1.2 'Man this lens is pure magic' he had me drooling. Ted should do voiceovers for TV, he could sell anything! great trio of lenses. Great thing about Ted is he has the folio to back it all up and he keeps it all so simple.

Man, you've got a soothing voice. I'm here fighting myself between the xt2/x100f/xt20

People rave about that 35 f/2 so much, I've been tempted to get one (and I really don't NEED it). That's definitely a solid trinity you have there. I currently have the 23mm 1.4 and the 56mm 1.2 R. I picked up the Samyang 12mm 2.0 to do my real estate photography with. If I had to choose 3 Fuji lenses and only three for the rest of my life (dramatic, right?) I would choose: 1) 10-24mm f/4--I would use it for real estate work and would shoot between 10-14mm. I Don't like the size necessarily (I would prefer Fuji make a small 12mm prime), but Fuji only makes as wide as 14mm (21mm equiv.) for their primes. 2) 23mm f/1.4--This is my go-to for general purpose shooting. Love the size, the 35mm focal length and the 1.4 aperture. 3) 56mm f/1.2 R --Almost goes without saying, doesn't it? This lens is awesome to use. The 85mm focal length is one of my favorites and this lens is SHARP wide open (which is where I stay most of the time when shooting with this). Side note: My desert island camera and body combo would be my X-T1 with the 23mm 1.4. I love my X-T1 about as much as I love my coffee in the morning (and that's saying a lot).

Ted, Your delivery is just the best. You could make anything sound cool. That's not to undermine your content. Thanks for that. But, brother, you could always go into the voice over business if your photography goes belly-up. Cheers! PS I am buying an XT2 in part down to you. As I get lenses, I'll comment. Thanks again. Great stuff.

These are the exact three lenses that I currently use. Couldn't agree more with your statements, thanks for sharing your insight.

favorites are: 14mm, 16-55mm, 27mm. Had the 16mm, nice too, might get it again some day. But 14mm is sharper and more adequate for landscape. About to sell the 18-55mm due to redundancy. Looking hard at the 50mm for a street/travel setup: 14, 27 and 50.The 90mm is in the FOV too....:-). All sharp, sharp sharp. Fuji X-T1 and X-T2, X70.

Love your videos man. You seem like a purist and your work speaks for itself! Keep the videos coming!

love the paradox. . compression over connection. Have a better year ! .

Great portraiture. I really love your style - in close and intimate to get past all the boring cliched poses.

56mm is my favourite lens!!

Recently upgraded from the X-E2 with the 35f1.4 to the X-Pro2 with the 35f2. additionally I have the 16f1.4 superb setup! also kudos to you Ted. I love your videos. your relaxed style of presenting is so much fun to watch. keep up the good work! 👌

My favorite XF lenses: 16/1.4, 35/1.4, 56/1.2. I hope Fujifilm will do the rumored 33/1 one day :-)

Connection over compression, nicely put.

I have all three of the lenses you have reviewed with the XT2 - they are awesome !! Best ever for street/urban photography.

So far, I've only been able to afford the 35mm f2 out of these three, and I love it dearly (just like you, I ditched the 35 1.4 for it). The 16mm has been on my wish list forever, and will be my next big investment. For those who agree with you on your choices here and are on a budget, maybe my solution to the portrait-lens problem would come in handy: I bought a lovely Voigtlander 58mm Nokton 1.4. This lens costs only about half as much as the Fujinon 56, is non-AF and comes with a Nikon mount. So you'll need an adapter, and you'll have to teach yourself to focus manually. It's a steep learning curve if you've never done it before, especially at that focal length! But after the pain comes a lot of gain. This lens is really magic.

Great videos Ted and beautiful photos! I have only just bought the X-T 1 body. Will be getting the 35mm f2 though, that is for sure and the 23mm too. Cheers Ted!

Oh my , what a voice you have!! LOL you can whisper in my ears anytime ;) I am going to Fuji, from Canon, so thank you for all the information on the video.

I agree with your choices completely here. Gotta love that 16 with the rectangle lens hood.

Thanks for the valuable videos you are doing , can you do one video on the location , how you take images on the street or how you approach people before you click

Totally agree. September I will buy the XT-2 and change to Fuji in a big bang . 16 and 56 is a must so 100% sure I will buy them in that same deal. 35 , I'll have to think about that one too, maybe have a kind of try and buy deal , like if I like it, buy it and don't pay the rent. Also want the 55 to 140 zoom, that's the 70 -200 we all used to have in " the mirror world" ;-) Hope they will have those FlashQ's available here too at that time. Man I can't wait and every time I see your pictures samples, the waiting gets harder and harder. Nice weekend man, stay cool.

Besides an extensive Nikon full frame kit, I have the a Fuji with 23 f1.4 and two excellent lighwheight kitlenses giving me 16 to 240mm. I love the difference in size and weight. But I would not have thought about getting the f2 version over the f1.4 version. I rather have more light coming in and less DOF if I want to, than having a more compact package. Don't forget, it's still aps-c, not full frame. F1.4 on this camera gives the look of a f2 lens on full frame. But I get that F2 version of the 35mm has faster focus.

16mm FUJIIIIIIII. One of the best lenses Ive ever used made by ANYONE...... all Fuji users should be slapped if they dont own the 16mm. Fuji's best lens. All Hail to the Sultan of Kool, Ted V.

I have been shooting for about 30 years. I love Fujifilm. I own three Fujifilm cameras (including a GFX50s) and several lenses. And, 56mm f/1.2 is the shame of the Fujifilm. It has focus hunting issues; it cannot snap the focus. And it makes an annoying internal noise while trying to focus. I sent it back to Fuji and they sent it back to me saying that it fits the company standards. My only hope is that the company releases a new firmware update that fixes the issues. So unexpected from Fujifilm, so frustrating... : (

Love this video Ted I must have watched it 8 times in the last few months. Love your recommendations love your work please keep it up.

I found you just searching for extension tubes. Your videos are fantastic. I own all of those lenses, but you were so smooth and passionate talking about them I almost bought them all over again. :-) I use my Xpro2 and Xt1 for wedding photography and commercial work. Aren't they amazing??!!

Youve got great taste in lenses, my 3 favourites too Ted

You always sound so dope, but I must say. You're one of the reasons I made the switch from my Canon 5D Mark III to the Fujifilm system.

I've been looking to get the x pro 2 for a while and these were my top three lens choices!! Glad to see I'm not alone! Thanks for the video 😃

Great storytelling Ted! I agree with your choices except I am working with the 27mm instead of the 35mm f/2. The 16mm and 56mm are my all time favorites.

Thanks for your impressions, Ted. I'm just new to the Fuji kit (was using Sony) and really appreciate your thoughts. I bought my x-e2 with the 23mm f1.4 but I think I'm going to sell that and get the 35mm f2 and then just deciding on either the 14mm or 16mm. The 56mm is a certainty...just have to wait a bit for my wallet to recover. ;) Thanks again, Ted!

Thanks, Ted. Very useful. And your comments about connection over compression will stay with me.

Great vid. Man this dudes voice just puts me at ease. Im going with his first two over the kit lense of the XT2

Ted I watched this video when you first posted back in 2016. I've just come across it again today and "liked". Good things take time right??

I love the photographs you are showing, great stuff. Plus you have an incredible voice, pleasure to listen to!

Same here... Top three for me as well are the 16, 56 and 35

I'm so pleased you rate the 35mm f2. I will now get it, even though I have the Metakon 35mm f0.95 (which is awesome, like a different form of photography altogether).

great list man. got the 16mm months back and loving the sharpness and the overall quality it produces. coupled with the overly priced but equally amazing lens hood. its pretty much my go to lens

I personally like your videos. And your voice doesn't irritate me at all. BAM! There, i follow you channel.

Hi Ted. I agree with you, these 3 focal are very well made by Fuji. The only doubt is the 35mm. 1.4 is great. Sometimes not very fast, but IQ is outstanding. I don't want to test the 2.0 LOL!

Awesome vids, just bought XT1 and deciding on what lenses to buy. Been a Nikon man for the last 10 yrs fancied a change.

I think the best commentary, ever from this dude!

i just got a xt10 your videos has been so helpful! thanks for sharing!!!

Great video Ted. I have the 16 and love it. The 35 f/1.4 has been a favorite of mine since I switched to Fuji and I will give the f/2 a try some day. Love the statement "connection over compression"!

love your podcast, your photography work is fantastic too.

Great trio selection. I'm pretty much in the same boat and in accordance with your reasons why you like the ones you do. I use the X-Pro2. The 3 lenses I took with me on a trip and pretty much in my small kit bag are the 18mm f/2, 35mm /2 & 56mm f/1.2. It's a good range of focal lengths that pretty much have me covered. I would go with the 16mm f1.4, I hear and see great things about it, but the size and inability to use the OVF in the X-Pro2 effectively kind of kept this one out of my kit (for now).. I would also love an even wider angle with the 14mm f/2.8, but again, it's the fact I would not be able to effectively use it with the OVF. Yeah, I am picking lenses which allow me to use both the OVF AND EVF on my X-Pro2. I feel if I get anything outside of that, I am short-changing myself from being able to use the X-Pro2's optics fully.. and, let's face it, the unique hybrid optics is a major selling point for anybody who wants an X-Pro2 above all else. That being said, it's not that I would never get a wider lens than the 18mm nor a longer lens than the 56mm, but I'm working on a tight budget and trying to keep the lenses I feel I need and have maximum usage with the X-Pro2, thus my lens choices. You can use the 90mm f/2 with OVF, there are frame lines, but you're bordering on the frame lines being a bit too small, usable, and I would say not ideal with the OVF... I don't know.. I'll see down the line if I really want the 90mm's rendering. I'm hoping if rumors of a new Fuji 8-16mm f/2.8 lens is going to actually be made, I think I'd opt for that for a wide to super wide angle lens choice. I might as well get my widest focal range covered in 1 nice pro lens. On the tele end, the 90mm is nice, but I'm feeling I'd get more usage and versatility from the 50-140mm f/2.8.. it also has OIS which would be considerably better when working at the more extreme tele ranges. I still prefer primes with my X-Pro2, so if and when I do get the 2 pro lenses mentioned above, I also hope my budget will allow for an X-T2.. I much prefer the X-T2 body with the larger pro lenses. Lastly, I had added the 23mm f/1.4 and 27mm f/2.8 to my original trio listed above but eventually sold them. The 27mm f/2.8 was a nice super-compact lightweight pancake lens for those moments when you want to keep as light and small as possible with 1 good general purpose lens. I loved the images from the 23mm f/1.4 as well. I would have kept it, but i want to keep my X-Pro2 kit as light and compact as possible, so I sold it in anticipation to get the new 23mm f/2 due to be announced soon (September?) and released shortly after that, hopefully by or before the end of 2016 this year. In either case, both the 23 & 27 fall in between my widest 18mm and mid 35mm lenses and at this time do not feel I NEED them.. more of a luxury.. and honestly, when looking over how I use my kit, although I liked having the choices to switch up my focal length and try something a little different every few days or weeks, I feel it was still too many choices for me to deal with and wanted to keep it simple and basically force myself to work with the few choice lenses I decided to keep, which are the 18, 35 & 56. Been pretty happy with this decision. I still feel there's room to squeeze in the 23mm f/2 when it's available.. a nice 35mm equivalent prime lens is always good to have, but the current trio works very well as is. Going be bring the 3 for the Fujilove Global Photowalk this weekend.. actually, it's tomorrow! Happy shooting!

Hey Ted! Awesome vid! My trinity lenses are: XF 16mm F1.4 XF 35mm F2 XF 90mm F2 All are weather resistant and I'm quite happy with the combo. I also want to add that I have the Mitakon 35mm F0.95 in case I want to get that magic pop. Lately, I have also been using it more than the XF just because MF is such a delight with the X-pro2. Also the Mitakon feels really good on the hands. You should try it!

Hi Ted. Great choices of awesome Fujinon lenses! It's interesting that you shoot 100% primes. I can certainly see the advantages to that, ie., compact, light-weight, fast, etc. However, I also find that Fujinon makes some awesome zooms such as the XF 16-55 f/2.8 WR, among others. As landscape shooter, I find that zoom to be tack-sharp, and quite versatile as well. I also love the XF 90, as it's possibly the sharpest lens I've ever used in my 35 years in photography. Thanks again, sir!

Thanks for this video, giving us your thoughts of these three lenses. I personally use the XF14 (love it), the 18-55, and the XF90. Your video makes me considering to replace the zoom by the 35/2.0. We'll see... Greetings from Germany

Big fan of using my Nikon 35mm f.2...also I'm really liking my Konica 57mm 1.8 and my Helios 58mm 1.8..for portraits .I like to manually focus everything and these lenses are really awesome with it.

Good video this Ted, its nice to know what other peoples "go-to" lenses are or what they would pick over the rest. Quite surprised you didnt include the 23mm f1.4 as that appears to be 99% of the fuji populations favourite go-to lens.

great video and loved your thoughts, I have the 35mm f2 and the 56mm f1.2 and I love them both. The 56mm is simply incredible.

Man those images are fantastic ! Great vid Ted thanks for sharing!👍😎👌

Great video Ted, and helped influence me into buying two of these lenses (the 56mm f1.2 and the 35mm f2). I loved your other video on the 56mm, about the emotional impact it had on you. I actually bought that lens before the camera! (I had the fuji X-T2 on order, it's recently arrived).

Almost the same setup as you Ted. Or perhaps it was your previous setup; I have the 14mm, 35mm and 56mm. It works out nicely for me as it's exactly 21mm between each lens, and is of course an equivalent 21mm, 50mm and 85mm setup. I also have the 55-200mm zoom for the occasional telephoto shoot. I aim to supplement this with the 23mm f2 when that's released, as I use my X100 a lot too. When I get that I may have to rethink my setup!

Voice is too good. Distracting.

35mm f.2 56mm f1.2 50-140mm since i don't shoot macro too often so maybe these lenses are my fav lens.. cool video Ted!! glad you included the picture because i love to see your shots!! cheers!!

Ted, great reviews and great gravelly voice! I have the 35mm f1.4. I hear what you are saying about the f2.0 but I do like that extra stop of light the 1.4 gives me. But that 35/52mm focal length is so magical! Great for street photography, portraits, landscapes even. My go to lens. Next bit of kit I want is the 56mm f1.2. And maybe the 16-55mm f2.8.

Thanks for the video Ted. It helped me a great deal as someone jumping ship from Canon (Xpro-2 is on the way). You've solidified my ideal setup in the future! I will first get the XF 35mm f2, shoot with it for a long time and hopefully also get on the XF 56mm f1.2R eventually.

Great video Ted, your enthusiasm is unparalleled! Your photos are also stunning. Do you you use Fuji's film simulation modes when you shoot?

I heard the 56 is super noisy when focusing and the quality difference between that and the 50 f2 is unnoticeable.

There are two well known combo systems of focal lengths in the FF world of primes: 24+50 and 35+85. The wider you go the more attention you have to pay to background and angle of the camera. That's why I'd say that Fuji 16mm is not for newbies. I use Canon gear for pro-work, stick with 24L 35L 85L, but have my XE1 with 18-55 and 35/1.4 to every day and travel needs. Quite happy with this kit, wish Fuji made 16-55 instead of 18-55 as a kit - 28mm on FF is one of the boring focal length ever.

Still looking to get the 56 to complete the trinity. So far I have the 16 and the 23. Both are very great lenses, and I have no doubt the 56 will match up in quality. (: Although, I'm planning to give the 23 f/2 a go when it's released, and see if it can win me over the f/1.4's manual clutch. Thanks for sharing, Ted!

After three years with Fujifilm I completely agree.

I have the XT2 with and my first lens was the 35mm F2 the other 2 lenses are on my list. Especially the 56mm

I'm buyng 16 and 56 next month. And about 56 vs 90 mm - math is simple: while 90mm can give you greater compression, if you shoot a lot indoors, with 90mm you could end up with a lot of head shots and nothing else :-) That's from my expiriance using canon FF, 135mm was only really usefull once I shooted outdoors.

I asked this on your facebook account but wanted to catch you soon so am trying same question here: Chat Conversation Start Dear Ted, I just ordered a XT2 last night. I love to watch your youtube videos. Very helpful videos and I have to say it is YOU that converted me to Fuji. Also always relaxing listening to your voice and advice. What I wanted to ask you is I know you love the 35mm f2 WR. Do you think this one would be a better starting lens for me or the upcoming 23mm f2 WR? Generalist use - street, pictures of my family, some closer flower pictures etc Then depending on the choice which prime would you add to that, the 56mm 1.2 for nice family portraits? I would appreciate any help. For now I preordered the 23mm f2 WR but want to hear your opinion if I should go for the 35 instead

I bought 35mm f2 in silver as I have xt20 silver. Can wait to get it. Thanks for the videos making easier to choose between 1.4 and 2 also like silver would look nice on silver body. Happy days
