Representing the San Francisco Bay Area, I started at an early age on a gifted Canon AE-1 and was hooked for life. Since then, traveled from film to digital to film and back again. Old rangefinders are still my #1. Alas, the cost of lab and home developing pushed me to digital in the early 2000's, and I bought the og Canon 300D (2003?!). Forayed in various canon gear, until the X-E1 came out and was just blown away with the design (did I mentioned I love old rangefinders) and SOOC capabilities. Throw in weight savings and access to great glass and I immediately divested in Canon (no regrets). Shooting digital has always made me yearn for film and I still shoot a Leica M6 and Ricoh GR1v from time to time when the budget allows for it. My current kit is an X-T1 with 18-55 attached (14 and 23 in the bag) and a Sony A7 with a v2 35mm summicron (Jupiter 8 in the bag) Shooting experience: 15+ years Favorite focal length: 35mm Favorite fuji lens: 23mm f/1.4 (14mm very close second) Favorite subject matter: street, travel Currently trying to master: off camera lighting/flash

IMO, I think there would be greater chance of an X-E3 than E2 with the new 4.0 fw. The electronic shutter, as example, never came to the E2. If you favor low light AF performance I think the T1 is your best bet. The buffer on the T10 seems to fill up quickly.

Here is a more recent comparison choosing the E2 over the T1 http://mirrorlessminutes.com/fujixe2vsxt1/

mock up, but I am totally distracted by the 35mm f/2
