    Same here; a mini X-Pro2 (minus the OVF) would be great. I could even accept the omission of weather sealing to keep the costs (and maybe size) down. 
    I personally don't need a tilting screen, but I would not be opposed to it (though it makes the camera bulkier). I think my X100T photo in one of the previous posts provides a strong argument against a touch screen. Which is also not needed with a proper joystick and D-pad.

    Leonard_O got a reaction from johant in Fuji X-E3 rumors   
    If the X-E3 is released configured as rumored it is not going to be the X-E2 update I had imagined. The simplest package I would have gladly paid for would have an X-Trans III sensor and CPU, weather sealing, the joy-stick, and a combo-shutter/ISO dial. The touch screen is not on my wish list.
     
    I can only hope that what is revealed on Thursday is different from the bad joke in this rumored X-E3. If the worst comes about, I will be happy to stay with my X-E2, and X-T2, and consider adding an X-Pro2 (or its successor) as my 24MB RF.

    Leonard_O got a reaction from RickUrb in Lightroom for x-trans... seriously?   
    I have an LR CC+PS CC workflow, and I have never been satisfied with RAF sharpening with LR or ACR. With both my X-E2 (v.4.0) and X-T2 (v2.01)  the "wormy" artifacts are ever present. I have tried many of the suggested/recommended options, but I find that my LR+PS habit is hard to break. However, I have found a solution which works quite well for me. 
     
    I use Alienskin ExposureX2 and On1 Photo RAW 2017 as LR/PS plugins and external editors. On importing RAF files to LR I have LR Sharpening set to 0 rather than the LR default.
    I make all other LR adjustments including crop/straightening, excluding any sharpening.
    Then depending on what I plan to do with the image I will edit in either Exposure X2, or On1 Photo RAW 2017, either of which I use to apply sharpening if needed. The finalized rendition of those edited files are saved back to Lightroom, and there is no evidence of the "LR RAF worms" or foliage waxiness.
     
    Occasionally I will bypass LR and use either Exposure X2, or On1 Photo RAW as a standalone with results I am happy with. My big hope for this year is that Adobe will get their act together and fix this RAF rendering issue especially with regard to sharpening.
