I sometimes find the 23 not quite wide enough. That's why I was testing out the 18/2. It's mostly wide enough.

The X100V is great though. It's a great choice if there's going to be only 1 body.

Well, there is an even further leftfield option on the used market, namely an X70 plus and X-E2/3—which together would come in at a similar price to an X-E4 body. Obviously the X70 lacks a viewfinder but with its small size, tilting screen and leaf shutter it’s about as stealth as you get outside of a Ricoh GR, and it gives you the 18mm focal length in a form that’s not significantly larger than the equivalent X-mount lens. Then you also have an X-E option for a different focal length and a different way of working, and you can have both focal lengths ready to shoot at once.

I sometimes think about the venerable but oddball X70.  The trouble is that they are exceedingly hard to find.  At a local shop, I had a used one in my hand years ago now but didn't pull the trigger.  I still wonder why I let it go.

As I said above to someone else, I wish Fuji gave the X-E2/3 a tilt screen.  It was in their basket of gadgets long ago (e.g. X-T10) but didn't choose to give it the X-E series until now.

Waist-level shooting with a fixed screen is possible (I have an old X100), but it's much easier with a flip-down screen.
