I1/I2 Lenses ... looking for feedback of which is used for what

[DECinHSV]

I'm awaiting the I2 arrival (X5S) and looking for some feedback from I1 users that have used lenses on the X5R. Of the DJI listed lenses, what is the best application and any feedback from your experience to help steer additional purchases. If you have used, please comment on 'what application the particular lens is a goto lens' and what you do/didn't like in comparison from your usage:

you might use the search or ask the nicest ever moderators for a link to the one thread where a member put out a list with all usable lenses for the X5 and X5R but if you know or dig yourself into focal length then you will easily get the hang out of it as which lens is for what use.
I am sure The Editor or one of the others (sorry, couldn´t remember your name) will have a link to the thread where they also talked about your question.
cheers.

Thx . . . I found this on the DJI forum (shocking that its very useful). I did a search on here first . . . .didnt see applications of experience, but I'll check again ~ DJI Zenmuse X5 Series Lens Comparison

The 3 main lenses that most people can agree for best results are the Olympus 12, 25 and 45mm. The 45 is typically best used for stills.

I use Oly 12 and 45. Had a 14-42 and got rid of it because it was a bad (AWFUL) fit and zoomed poorly. The 12 and 45 fulfill all of my needs.

As stated, the Oly trinity: 12/25/45. I hope the 45mm will work better for video on the I2
