No you are not Tom! And thanks for pointing that out.

I guess the X-E1 takes a long time to switch out of focus magnification so it can re-meter the exposure for the whole frame shot.

The X-T3 might just remember the reading it took just before turning on focus magnification, so it takes it no time to compensate and then it releases the shutter.

All guesswork of course.

Right. The XT3 was on Boost and it was sampling the sensor at 100 fps (That's what I understand) and the XE1 is sampling at 47 fps (my guess).

I feel Fuji has moved to a new software architecture. The magnification now has zero impact on the lag on the XT3. That's not a slight improvement, it looks great to me.
