So keeping your X-T2 and using it with the 27mm WR kit would not suit you?

Not that it doesn’t suit me; just that it (rather, the X-T2 plus 16-80) is storing a bunch of value that might be better invested in a different body/camera which gets used more often.

As it happens, just after posting the thread I went out with that exact pairing (plus the 16/2.8).

I found an Alpkit Airlok Xtra 3L bag and carried it in that—though the rain we’d had all day somehow stopped just as we left the house). It’s a decent quality dry bag with three attachment points (four if you count the one on the roll-top). Turns out the bag is also just large enough to fit the X-T2 plus 16-80 (with hood).

So it seems I probably already had a carrying solution provided the camera is not too big—though it seems to swallow an X-E2 and the 50-230 easily, provided the hood is removed. Which means perhaps the X100V is quite viable after all.
