Hello to everyone
I am a beginner, just made a course about the basics of potography, so now i need to buy a camera and i am ready to invest a decent amount to have something valuable to use for a long time and exercise myself. Lets say i have a budget of 3500 pounds.
I love mostly: street photography, that for me mainly consists of taking pics of urban areas (so kind of landscape but not actually huge panoramas) and the people around me.
Camera
I am undecided among a Leica Q with 28mm fixed lens and a Fuji Pro (or T2) body + 2 prime lens.
Leica is full frame mirrorless but mounts a 28mm fix lens only, that although superb, is always the same and not changeable.
Fuji is very good as well, a bit bigger and at the same price would allow me to take two different lens.
I slant for prime lens in general, as they told me they are better than zoom ones. Secondly with the maximum aperture possible (all the rest reamining equal).
I had thought to take a very wide angle for landscapes and a tighter lens for portraits, so my first choice were for:

A friend of mine suggested me the second way (fuji) but he discouraged me to take those lens. He is a very good photographer and he said that he shoots only 15% of his pics with these extreme lens and the remaining 80% with 35-50mm.
What you think about? First, better to start ot experiment with a fix lens and a top brand as Leica or to be more flexible with a multilens fuji?
And if i take an interchangeable camera as Fuji could those lens be a good starting point? or is better to take a 35mm equivalent to 50mm? Are there 50mm with a very large aperture?
thank you very much
