It would be awesome if Fuji would start developing a Pro version of the X100 series with the following features

- 18mm f1.4 lens

This will make the camera MUCH thicker

- New high MP sensor rumoured for the X-H2

- X-Pro body ergonomics and build quality

Adding more weight

- NP-W235 battery

More weight and thickness

- IBIS

- Priced around $2.5k

Severely limits the market

Would anybody else be interested in such camera? I’d take that over something like a Leica Q2 every time. It’d be the ultimate street/documentary camera.

I think you would end up with a camera that has little to offer over just an X-series body and 18mm f1.4 lens.  You've added a big list of features that just makes for a heavy and thick fixed lens camera.  And then what's the point?   X100 series is thin and light and simple and affordable enough.  That's why it is popular.   Having an X-PRo3 with a glued on 18mm f1.4 at the same price isn't very appealing to me.
