But lets not worry about reality.

"Inside" jacket pocket? Getting pretty technical on the fashion aren't we? As for normal jacket pockets, the kind that you put your hands in, sure it does. It also weighs less. I've tried it in like 8 diff jackets...The XT10, XT20, XE2 also fit. Now it won't fit in my suit blazers, but neither would the X100 series. How petite are you?

You really think the X100 series is that much smaller than an XE3 and 27? I just used an X100V last night, I can tell you, it's not that much smaller...talking about a few teeny MM (13mm by my calculation) in depth, it's bigger L/W...and will pull down said jacket pocket more due to the weight.

Um I owned an X-100T for 18 months and it very much does fit inside an inside suit pocket. Sorry if that upsets you for some reason, but facts are just facts.

The X100 will fit easier, but the xe-3 and 27 is close. The X-T20 is stretching. I've also owned that and it did not fit in an inside suit jacket pocket.

I'm 172cm and 42 inch chest.

cheers

Well we are going on your anecdotal suit and my anecdotal jackets, not general facts. You'd have to have a quite particular suit where the X100T would go in, yet the x-e3 with 27, would not. Maybe the lens cap protuding on the 27 a bit? Could just put a filter on it sans lens cap.

Just like I have some jackets the XE3 + 27mm will go in easily, and others with more fitted pockets that are not so much.

They are only 13mm difference in girth... but the xe3/27mm is shorter in length/height and less weight.

The XT-20 the hump can definitely be a "snag" on getting it in some places.
