Bart, thank you! At the expense of the minimum focusing distance, you just always want everything to be in one lens and it was universal, but it rarely happens. And of course, when I shoot macro, I always use a third-party manual micro lens.Hi there and thank you.
Most of the time I shoot at F8.0, occasionally at F5.6, but when shifted always F11.0
Normally I shoot hand-held and of course with IBIS active. But there may be a catch if you shoot with shutter speeds that are too slow.
If you checked the EXIF information of my images you may have noticed the shutter speeds are at least 1/125s.
Especially with ultra wide lenses IBIS is sometimes not so effective in combination with slow shutter speeds, say 1/15s or so.
So I'd strongly advise to crank up your shutter speeds !
For more background information please read this DPReview thread: Does the Laowa 19mm f2.8 struggle with IBIS?
Good luck and post some please ...
As for the budget, of course it is limited, so I think how will the gf20-35 work and let's say 100-200 on the gfx50s? I mostly shoot static, I don't chase sports and fast shots.

Well, I know from my own experience that the GF100-200 will do fine and I believe the GF20-35 will do well too.
I'm assuming you already know that the GFX50s has Contrast Detection AF, but since you're looking for static subjects, CD AF suits your shooting style perfectly.
For fast action an upgrade to a GFX-model sporting Phase Detecion AF is essential.
As for choosing between the wide and the long zoom it all depends what subjects you're shooting mostly; buildings, interiors, vast landscapes then a wide zoom.
But I think with your GF35-70 and Laowa 20 you pretty much covered the wide-ish end already.

Bart! Greetings! Thank you for the answer! That's the thing that I'm so used to shooting Shift with Laowa 20 f4 and canon ef 17 f4 ts-e shift lenses and I'm worried that I won't get used to strong distortions on the gf20-35, even though it's an ideal glass in terms of sharpness and optimality and replaces focal lenses like 23 and 30 mm. Bart, do you have a GF20-35?
The other day I was offered the exchange of gf50 3.5 for gf 55 1.7 with my surcharge and not too expensive, is it worth switching?
