What Fujifilm X camera for the XF56mmF1.2? Or another system?

For that case I'm thinking of buying a cheaper X camera together with the XF56mmF1.2. I just love how all these photos on flickr with that lens look like. Exactly what I'm searching. Also it's pretty affordable on the used market. I don't need the best auto focus or the newest features. With a used X-E2 or even X-E3 I would still be under 1k€.. pretty good deal isn't it? If I would compare photos from the X-E2 to the X-E3 would there be a noticable difference in the rendering? Or would they look pretty much the same? What about the X-E4? Worth saving a month or two more and just buy something newer?

Sure, there are other options like the X-Txx but I prefer the rangefinder style.

It's odd that when you say you don't really want an X-Txx so many recommend an X-Txx.

The 56mm will work well on an X-E1, X-E2, X-E3, or X-Pro2. Don't worry too much about the balance question. Those of us who support the weight of the camera with our left palm under the lens don't really have issues of imbalance or of needing to get a grip.

And since I'm looking at around 1000€ I wonder if I should think of another system maybe? I only have experience with Fujifilm so far. I love the colors and the UX. Is there a camera and lens combination that creates more beautiful bokeh photos at that price range?

Thanks a lot for any advices!

I use the 56mm f1.2 with my xe3 & it's fine as described above...no extra grips needed.
