Main camera is an X-T2.

Am buying the Meike 35mm F1.7 as a 2nd fun / walkabout lens (looks pretty good actually for an insanely low price)

And was thinking of a cheap 2nd body to pop it on

One of the major draws of the X-T2 was the large 100% 0.77 mag EVF

Which is the larger EVF - the X-pro 1 or X-E2?

I can get a decent used version of either for £200 so it will all hinge on the EVF7

I read the X-Pro 1 evf is a tiny 0.37 mag but I don't think it can be that small...?

cheers

XE2 is a generation better in terms of functions and operational speed, AF, etc. Closer to XT2.

VF is slightly better but without optical finder of course. Still not great, but it does have dioptre correction. Pro1 does not and corrective lenses are hard to find.

Nice to have a compact option as well. It is considerably smaller that the Pro1, which can be handy when you want to be discreet.
