Question for x100T/x100F users

I currently have the x100S but for various reasons I am looking to upgrade to the T or the F.

Firstly, I would like to confirm that neither of the command dials on the x100F can control the aperture - is that correct?

Secondly, on the x100T and/or x100F, how easy is the aperture ring to turn? On the x100S it is quite stiff. I often like to operate the camera one handed, but have to resort to two hands for changing the aperture.

Thanks in advance.

The aperture ring on my F turns just right for me. Nice click, but not too stiff.

If it didn't work as normal, I wouldn't have bought the camera as adjusting the aperture while shooting is essential to how I shoot.

My T has a very stiff aperture wheel as well, and does not turn easily with one hand. Regrettably.

Thanks for the info. I feared as much.

Thanks. Is that using one-handed? Mine works fine turning in the usual way - it's just not easy to move with one finger.

Cheers

Using one finger, or one handed isn't the 'usual' way.

Yes, I know it isn't the usual way. What I was saying is that there nothing wrong with the aperture ring - it turns nicely when doing it in the usual way (i.e. one hand holding the camera, the other moving the aperture ring). I was just asking if the aperture ring on the F was any easier to turn than on the S (and it seems the T also) - so it would be easier to turn single handed.
