Thanks for the tip! I started out with film camera's long ago. I still have two Oly OM bodies and a lot of old lenses. My first digital camera was the Olympus PEN and later the OMD, I changed to the Lumix G8. And I have a whole array of lenses with it, only to find out that as time passes by, I hardly use any other lens than the prime 25mm and probably max 10% of what that camera can do.

So the whole idea of getting the x100 is to simplify my gear without losing (much) in IQ. And based on what I could find, I opted for the classic and not the newer versions. I'm an old man, so I need a view finder, just cant really work with a screen...

If you prefer 25mm on your Lumix M 4/3 you may probably find that the native lens of the X100 is too wide. 25mm on m43 has the same field of view as a 50mm on your old Olympus SLR, whereas the 23mm on the X100 with its aps-c size sensor correspond to a 35mm field of view lens on a film camera.

Therefore, on Fuji XF mount you will probably be more happy with a 27mm or 35mm lens.

The X-E1 does have a viewfinder, but an electronic one not an optical one. You should absolutely be able to find an X-E1 with 27mm or XC 35mm f2 lens for less than 500 euros.
