That’s the concern I have. If I end up buying both, would I just barely use one of them, and thus have wasted my money. A lens is always good to own, but I’ve had my x100t since release date so I get life out of them as well.

I am on a similar boat.

Have my XT3 with 18f2, 23f2, 35f14, 60f24 and 2 zooms. My favorite focal lengths are 28mm and 35mm (full-frame) and I have been thinking of adding the 23f14, either the first version or the Viltrox. The 1.4 lenses are much larger and heavier than my WR 23mm -which is tiny and super fast- and I might be sacrificing portability for one-stop of shallow DoF.

I also love the rangefinder style of the X100V and the XPro bodies, adding an X100 to my collection would be redundant, an XPro body could be justified as complementary to my XT3.

Not that I need any of them! Either way is the GAS speaking, I guess.
