Looking to get into Fuji for street.

Greetings my fine Fuji shooting friends. I'm looking to get into Fuji shooting primarily for street work, as well as a fun addition to a range of other shoots. This is a side that is a fun side off my main pursuits so I can't dish out much cash so I'm hoping to pick up the least expensive Fuji which is around the range of pocketable (even if larger pockets), and so obviously can be an older model, but still has support for those unique Fuji profiles like classic chrome etc. I've seen a list of the Fuji bodies which support those but I'd love the input from the community about your favorites in these since I'm not too familiar with the Fuji line. Naturally snappy autofocus is a must, and I'm open to fixed lens (preferably with a good F2 option, but I'd be open to anything up to 2.8).

The list for convenience, to my knowledge at the moment:

• X70
• X100T
• X-A2
• X-A3
• X-A10
• X-E2
• X-E2S
• X-Pro2
• X-T1
• X-T2
• X-T10
• Porbably more since the thread I read.

Thank you for any ideas and input!

Personally, for street, I like waist shooting and for that a tilt screen is a must. So the X-E2 and X100T are out of the list.

Then it needs to be small enough so that can put easily in a large pocket and take it out fast. The smallest one that can actually fit in a side pocket is the X70, so that would be one of my 1st choices in the list. I actually have one and love it, but AF is a bit on the slow, compared to current standards.

My 2nd option from that list would be the X-T10 because its small and can take some of the fantastic Fuji primes such as my favorite 35/f2 or the smaller 27/f2.8. I would avoid the X-A line because I think its has slower AF and from what I remember (from a short time with the XA10) the build quality is worse.

The X-T1 and X-T2 would be my last options purely because of larger size (not too big, but not pocketable either). Otherwise the X-T2 is the best camera on this list and its still small with one of those lenses.
