Re: X-E4 "Pro" ?

The reason the X-pro is as big as it is, is that the OVF needs to be far away from the lens to avoid the lens blocking the viewfinder. The X100 gets away with a smaller body because it has a tiny lens. But if you want to be able to use normally sized lenses with an optical finder, you need distance between the lens and finder.

So, regrettably, what you envision is probably impossible.
