1st, a standard zoom, either a refreshed 32-64mm f/4 or a new 30-90mm f/4-6.3, both on the compact side. This can be the major lens for travel.
2nd, 55mm f/2.5 LM, same optical performance as 55/1.7 (at same aperture) but smaller & lighter. daily walk-around.
3rd, 38mm f/2.5 LM. wider version of 55/2.5LM. daily walk-around.
6th, anything in [90..120]mm f/3.2. relatively compact. portraits.
I prefer GFX100Sii body over A7* and Z* for walk-around. It just needs some high-quality compact prime lenses, with LM.
After a year of using GFX, I'd agree with all of these. I've seen a few users recommend GFX over the Hasselblad system due to lens selection, but I find myself wishing I had access to quite a few of the Hasselblad lenses, particular the newer 38, 55 and 90 primes.
I also am hoping for a improved standard zoom, my 35-70mm has been decent but it lacks reach, and my copy isn't that great into the edges and corners. I initially thought that the 45-100mm would be the standard zoom of choice for me, but I've found myself using the 35mm (28mm FF equiv) wide end very frequently.
I got into GFX because I wanted to stick with Fuji, and because I wanted lenses that are consistently sharp across the frame for my landscape and architecture shots. I'm mostly happy with the image quality and it's a vast improvement over what my Fuji X produces, but the GF lenses I own sacrifice at least one (and sometimes all three) of size, range and aperture fastness in exchange for image quality. You can't make the perfect lens, but I'd argue that recent full frame lenses have pushed the 'efficient frontier' on those axes as well as image quality, even if they still do make some compromises somewhere. My sensing is that Hasselblad's lens releases have been doing a better job of keeping up with that than Fuji's.
