Re: X-E3 vs. X-T20 and back button focus

I have the X-T20. Nose against the screen is an issue, but not enough to give me trouble. I would like to have the joystick on the E2/3, though. (Have an X-2 coming, but view that as a minor reason for upgrading.)

I use two lenses that don't have aperture rings, and I am strongly inclined to use the wheels for ss in front and aperture rear (magnified view if pushed). I'm also strong on back button focus - using AF-L for that. It isn't ideal, but better than trying to get to the AE-L button on the other side. It looks to me that the positioning problem is worse for the E2/3 design.

Some of us would love it if we could simply designate the Q button for BBF. Without being able to properly designate the Q menu with descriptions, its function is worse than useless (can only cause problems when activated).
