You're coming across as a typical whining internet forum user.

Lol

So, I called it.

Oh so you are speculating then? Because you were stating with authority that the successor 'will have' etc etc etc

It would definitely be nice if it were a free world, however it is not! Anyway, to get back on topic... I had the X100T before I upgraded to the X-Pro2 in March. The X100T is a very nice camera, but at that price it really does need a price drop to make it more palatable. I just checked Amazon.co.uk and it's on there for £760 ($1076), and in my opinion that's still too much. As has been suggested already, an X-Pro1 would be sufficient (if OVF is a must), or alternatively an X-E2.

darngooddesign certainly is...

Of course it's speculation, just like everything else said in this thread. Difference is, I've no problem accepting that it's speculation, whereas some of the posters in here are quite self assured.

Maybe, but if they do, it's not going to be for quite a while. At least not until March 2017.

Well, for starters, ACROS doesn't require the new sensor at all. It requires the X Processor Pro. Secondly it makes absolutely no business sense to release a camera that, if we go by your description, is essentially an X-Pro2 with a fixed lens, so soon after the release of the X-Pro2. If something similar to what you describe were going to replace the X100T, it would make no business sense to release it until at least a year had passed after the release of the X-Pro2.

Please provide source for all that. Otherwise, you're just speculating.

Both the X100T and X70 have closer focus range than the XF35mm, which is why it seems that your estimate of the distance of your hand from the XF35mm may be incorrect.

You've contradicted yourself there. Since the lens is so very close to the sensor, and the focal plane is right near the very back of the camera as seen here: then that means the lens would be considerably larger than the XF18mm

I'm getting it from my own images.

Well, my XF35mmF2 works just as designed, with a close focus range of 35cm.

sounds like you simply had your hand too close to the lens. Exactly what distance did you have your hand from the lenses?

It's smaller, yes. But I wouldn't say considerably so. Also, the lens in the X100 series suffers from some serious distortion (compared to the XF23mmF1.4 and the XF35mmF2) and softness wide open.

You do realise that the lens in the X100 cameras recedes into the body of the camera, so it's not actually a pancake lens, right?
