OK, so I've updated the X-E2 to version 4.30 and all is fine. No funny cropping of jpegs.

Hello Marcin I can't add anything on the X-Pro1, but I do have the X-E2 and I'm delighted with it. I sold all my Canon SLR gear a year ago (6D full frame and 5 lenses), having already bought the X-E2 from a friend, and i'm now totally Fuji. I use it with the 18-135, 10-24 and 27mm lenses and do not find any problem with the balance or handling of the camera with the bigger lenses. The 27mm pancake is a dream. I also bought the X-T1. This may sound daft but I regularly take a camera bag with me that has the 2 bodies in, with a different lens on each so that I don't have to swap lenses in the field. The strange thing is - I actually prefer the rangefinder feel and handling of the X-E2 to the X-T1. I can't imagine going back to a DSLR - but then I don't do sports or wildlife, so I'm not best qualified to comment. I absolutely love the EVF. There is maybe a quarter second delay in eye activation, but it's never been a problem for me. I've almost forgotten what an OVF looks like! Best of luck, and let us know how you get on.

I opened your RAW file in LR 5.7 (Windows 10) and it displayed as16:9 crop. I also reset the ratio using your suggestion in the "Quick Develop" panel of the library module and all is fine - it now displays as 3:2. So, it looks as though this is perfectly usable workaround ... but I guess we still don't know what causes it. I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and update my 2 cameras (X-E2 and X-T1) to the latest firmware. I'll let you know what happens.

Hi Jano - I'm intyerested in your post I've been following this forum for a year or so but have only just decided to post. I have 3 Fuji X cameras: XT-1, XE-2 and X30. This cropping phenomenon concerns me. My standard workflow (all 3 cameras) is: shoot RAW, convert to DNG, import into Lightroom 5.7 (Windows) and process. So does this mean, if I update firmare in the X-E2 (to Version 4.0) and X-T1 (to Version 4.30), that all my imports will display as 16:9 crops? ... and, if so, would I need to "Develop" each individual image in Lightroom in order to correct it to standard 3:2? The only correction I can see is to use the "crop and straighten" tool and hit the "reset" button for that tool. Is this what you have done? I can't seem to find anything to alter the crop ratio - unless it's called something different on a Mac version.
