I am using an X-T10 with the 27mm WR right now, and I am 100% pleased with the combination. This camera was my original Fuji, and frankly I wasn't using it much after I bought my X-T2 in 2020. But I kept it because I hoped there would be a 27mm with an aperture ring, and I had a feeling that together they would make the modern equivalent of the Pentax MX compact mechanical SLR with the 40mm f/2 M lens, which was a truly great walkaround camera. And so they do.

If you prefer a corner viewfinder, then try an X- E instead.

I considered the X-T10, especially as I am familiar with its ergonomics as a X-T30 user.

Then I figured that it was perhaps more interesting for me to have a camera with a different form-factor and I went with the X-T1. The weather-sealing will be a plus and I guess that it might be useful one day to have a body better suited for longer and heavier lenses ! (I don't think I would use lenses heavier than the XF23mm Mk I on the X-T30, as it becomes already rather front-heavy with it.)

The  X-T1 (435g), is a surprisingly lightweight camera  and only weighs about 55g more than the X-T30 (380g). It’s one of the reasons why it has such a large fanbase. The X-T* line has gained weight over the years.

But I find the X-T1 a much better ergonomic design than the X-T30, so heavier lenses shouldn’t be a problem.

Have you found your X-T1 yet? I hope you enjoy it when you start using it. It’s a great camera, especially at some of the bargain prices you can get it for these days.
