Regarding your choice - typically I like a slightly longer FL so I grab the XPro2 with the 28mm 2.8 version 2. Love that little lens now that it has an aperture ring. Another one of the things that make Fuji cameras so enjoyable.

Yeah, I’ve recently upgraded my Mk1 27mm to the Mk2. Partly for the aperture ring but a little more for the weather sealing. It was nice to be out shooting in the rain yesterday with that on an X-T2 and not have to shelter the camera at all.

If that lens was f/2 but the same size and the X-E series was weather resistant then I’d have my perfect setup 🙂

In any event slagging off the OVF while being ok with just shooting with the LCD is hypocritical.

I don’t think anyone’s slagging it off. As OVFs go it’s a great one—best I’ve used, anyway—but there are aspects to it which means it just doesn’t gel with some people, and Fujifilm have allowed its presence to compromise the EVF experience just slightly. Which means if you don’t love the OVF then perhaps you can’t fully love an X100. Perhaps 🙂
