Re: X100f Manual Focus

The lens and it's focusing is the last thing left on this camera to take it from really great to just about perfect.

I agree with you here. Having the S, I found the T to be an incrementally tweaked version and while the F has a new sensor and processor (love it on my x-pro), I don't know if it breaks enough new ground to warrant an upgrade.

As you mentioned, the only thing left would be the lens. I love it's tiny size and how it renders but if they could find a way to implement proper manual focus with dof markings a la 23/1.4 or 14/2.8, and not stick out any more than a few millimetres, I'd go so far as pay full list price and my ridiculous sales tax and pre-order one. (And I would still hang on to my S for nostalgic reasons!)
