Best budget lens for the fujifilm x e3?

For the X-E3 on a tight budget, I'd start with the Fujifilm XC 35mm f/2. It's a small, simple prime that gives you a natural 52mm-equivalent view for people and everyday shots, and it's a big step up from a kit zoom in low light.

If you want one lens that covers everything, the Fujifilm XC 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS II is the sensible kit choice. The X-E3 has no stabilisation in the body, so the optical stabilisation in that zoom is worth having for slow shutter speeds.

For a bit more light-gathering, the 7Artisans 35mm f/1.4 is a manual-focus alternative. It's a fun, cheap option, but you'll be focusing by hand.

Whichever you pick, follow the advice on your first camera: spend about as much on glass as on the body.
