Lots of people come to this forum because they have some kind of problem. Think most of the time it is user error, but some times it is a real issue. The same happens on other forums I do follow. So you tend to have a high problem to no problem ratio.
 
I really like my P2 and have no issues with it.

X100s

For those of you looking for a battery now...I've been using these in my X-Pro1 for the past couple of weeks and I'm very impressed with them.  I'm going to buy some for my X70 and more for my Pro1 and T1 as well.

I took one to the Trump Protest and was extremely impressed with the life of the battery.  The cost is really nice as well, and they appear to have just a bit more capacity as well.  Like I said, I'm picking some up in the N95 variety to try out in my X70, but if they are anything like the 126's I know I'll like them...

If you have a 15" Laptop and want to put your laptop in the bag, then you'll have to get the one that can accommodate that one, or get the smaller one, and buy another bag for when you want to carry your laptop.  And if you don't want to buy a bigger bag just because you may occasionally carry your laptop, then I'd look at a different style of bag all together if it were me.  That's only if you're going to have to have two bags anyway, might as well be two different styles of bag.

I LOVE my 55-200.  Even though it does not come out to play very often, I do take it with me.  Know it is there is good enough.  This lens, at least my copy is tack sharp across the focal range, and at each aperture.  I have no complaints.  I hate the "are you happy to see  me" extension at long end but that's a price to be paid.  It's lightweight compared to it's big brother the 50-140 2.8 which, after unloading myself of my Nikon gear which included the Nikon 70-200 F2.8, I do not ever want to carry around again.  So, there are a few drawbacks, but the 55-200 is a magnificent lens and one I will not give up.  

Every time I put mine on the T1, it impresses me.  I mainly use it for events like the Spring Festivals and things.  Incredibly sharp.
 
If I were a wedding photographer or something, I'd want the faster 50-140, but I'm not, so....

Have you got the Preview Exposure and White Balance setting on or off? On gives you a "what you see is what you get" image preview as you're looking through the viewfinder, and Off gives you an optimal brightness for viewing, regardless of your exposure settings.
 
Is the picture consistently dark? Try shooting with all manual exposure, then change settings and see if the brightness of the photo changes.
 
My guess is you've got some setting changed in the Image Quality settings. That controls your JPG settings, but even if you're shooting RAW the camera will display a JPG with whatever settings you have it defaulted to. So basically you could have the camera set to burn photos down (-1/3EV, -1EV, etc). That's in one of the first menu pages. If you have that and shoot a JPG, it'll be darker. If you have that and shoot RAW, the RAW file won't be affected, but the JPG displayed on the LCD will look darker.

There are street photographers that shoot in 35 and even 50.  You going to go tell them that they aren't street photographers?  All the street photographers out there making a living with the X100 series, that aren't street photographers because they aren't shooting the right focal length.
 
I don't understand the need to feel that you aren't shooting street if you aren't shooting wider than 35.  That's a ridiculous and asinine statement if I've ever heard one.
 
Street is subject, not focal length.

the fact that there were no gaps is the consequence of Fuji having placed this camera in a different segment than the X-T1 not the cause

Thanks for yr constructive reply. :-)

10cm max to be precise

I would too, but so far I don't like that Fujifilm's cheaper lenses are not optically corrected when it comes to distortion. I know they do it via software, but I don't like that. The 35 f1.4 and 23 f1.4 and 14mm f2.8 are optically corrected and actually rather well.

I also have both and like most other posters consider them sufficiently distinct to keep both. You might also consider waiting for the mourned but fairly cerain arrival of the 23 f2 which will presumably be significantly cheaper than the current f1.4 model. I say this because for me the one downside to the 23 1.4 is that it is a bit bigger and heavier than the 35 1.4.  I might trade it for the 23 f2 when the latter finally arrives.

Professionals use the X-T10.  Doesn't matter what level the camera is.  What matters is what is the right tool for you.  That's all that matters.  The only people worried about what level of camera you are using for your craft are usually found on those web forums that center around those other brands.
 
It doesn't have a grip because there is no way for the grip to communicate with the camera.  That is the question asked by the OP, that is the answer provided by the community.  Fuji chose to not make available because the target market for the camera isn't the sector of the market that exactly purchases the add-ons users of the T1 series will.

Just to conclude:

My camera came back today. The log says:

"parts repaired:
- lens mount
- casing

parts replaced:
- grips"

The lens mount is now nice and firm, even the formerly very loose sitting Samyang 12/2 clicks in place with a satisfying 'clonk' and has only minimum rotational play. My XF 27 needs gentle force to be mounted and sits absolutely tight. Very nice improvement.
I don't know what they had to repair on the casing, but I think I'm happy they did it, whatever it was.
All the rubber parts have been exchanged, except for one small piece on the upper left side. The new door now closes tight and does not bulge. The new rubber parts are a lot harder and have a rougher surface than the old ones. I can compare that directly, since they left this one piece alone. Feels more like plastic now, the old one feels like rubber, but of course it might just have aged.

So, in total I paid... nothing. It seems that I, somehow, bought an extended 2-year no-questions-asked-warranty with my camera (demo sample). Lucky me. Oh, and the camera already had the newest firmware installed when it came back!

All in all, I have to say that Fujifilm's customer service left me with a very positive experience, and I think even if I would have had to pay for it (which I expected), I'd be happy now.

My setup changed quite a bit.
 
2 X-T1 turned into 2 X-Pro2 (imo the best wedding camera money can buy you at the moment).
 
And regarding lenses, I currently use the 16 1.4, 23 1.4, 35 1.4, 56 1.2 and 50-140 2.8. With 2 YN flashes, 2 triggers a boat load of batteries, sd cards and a few other things that's the whole kit.

5. So striking features for me to buy this bag are: can accommodate everything I have and want, quick access top chain so that u don't have to pull up the whole front flap of the bag to pull out or in ur camera and it is water resistant as well as it has rain cover plus it is good looking.
 
So I thank u for reading my longest feedback (which even crosses the highest word limit for messaging of the group) and I will be glad if this could help u. I will keep u updated with my feedback after I get the bag in hand and use it. Thanks again.

I'm waiting for Formatt-Hitech to come out with Firecrest ND and Grad filters for its 85mm system.  I've read good things about the ND filters (especially their 13 and 16 stop filters) and a Fuji X-Photographer I like uses them.

Another plus one for Formatt Hitech. I've used their 85mm stuff for a while now and it's great.
