I would always choose the X-Pro3 *but* I really value the hybrid optical finder and things like weather resistance, ruggedness, faster shutter and two card slots. I dig the screen too.

As a former X-Pro2 owner and still a classic X100 owner, I am not confident of the OVF focus patch being exactly on what I want it to focus on. Have you found that to be the case or is it no problem at all?

I agree about the X-Pro3's screen. It's very nice and not at all what its detractors have said about it.

I don’t have a problem with it, but some of that is down to practice as I’ve always shot with the OVF mostly from the X-Pro1 onwards.  With the corrected AF frame set to on (which shows you a second box at the closest focussing distance) I can usually predict where the green box is going to land between the two.

Of course it’s a hybrid finder for a reason and I’m not averse to flipping into the EVF when it makes more sense for close focussing, I just prefer the experience of the optical finder for most things.
