One of the main reasons for me liking the X100 series so much is the 35mm equiv. lens. Now the (grain of salt) rumor is out that the X200 will have a 28mm lens. For me this rumor gets more believable as Fuji has hinted to introduce a compact 35mm f2 lens for its interchangeable cameras. It looks to me as Fuji wants to try to make a Leica Q competitor with the X200 and there is nothing wrong with that.
In practical shooting conditions 28mm and 35 isn't that far apart and I enjoy using the WCL on occasion, but personally I find the 35mm suits me more. Currently I'm not sure if I would buy a X200 with a 28mm lens as I think I would find myself cropping to 35mm often and the 24MP advantage of the new camera would be gone. It also looks like that Fuji (with the X70) is going the route of digitally cropping and up-scaling the image in jpg mode only if you want to shoot "another focal length", which I find not particularly useful.
I think in order to consider a X200 with a 28mm lens, the following should happen:
1. There should be a "real" crop mode a la Leica Q with the option of RAW+JPG
or
2. An optional compact TCL which brings the focal length up to 35mm and makes use of the 24mp of the new sensor.
What about you? Would you purchase a X200 with a 28mm lens?
PS: I'm still hoping the 28mm rumor is false.
