Didn't know whether to put this in general or the X-T1/X-T10 board. Move as you wish.
Anyway, as I alluded to in the comments a few days back, I have been able to get my hands on a pre-production X-T2... for about 60 seconds. There is nothing new I can report which hasn't already been talked about on the FR front page; Patrick's got everything covered and evidently his sources are in a better position to give you close-up photos and videos and whatever. If you want new information, there's little I can say.
What I can do is confirm some of the things people weren't sure about, and give you my impressions from having held it for about the time it took for my friend to eat his muffin, and chatting about it for a few minutes. Which isn't much, but hey; rumours are the best we've got, usually, so hands-on is a small step up, at least.
First, a few questions which I know will come up, and I'm just going to shoot down right away:
Q: Do you have any raw files to share, did you shoot any 4k video, etc? A: No. It's not my camera. It's not a camera I'm supposed to have seen. It's not a camera I got to go out shooting with. I just got to hold it for literally a minute, look through the viewfinder, turn a few dials, glance at the menu, etc.
Q: How did you get it? A: Several of my friends work in the industry; a couple are Fuji X photographers. I met one for coffee, he happened to have the camera with him. He let me hold it while he ate a muffin. That's literally all. There's no exciting super secret 007 spy story.
Q: Can you give us [things which would give away your friend's identity]? Can they come and post here about their experience with the X-T2? A: No. I've not signed an NDA or made any embargo agreement with Fuji, so I can say whatever the hell I like. He can't. Every X photographer and member of the press who has been granted use of an X-T2 has signed an NDA. Giving away anything which could lead Fuji to work out who talks to who could mean very real, very serious legal trouble for those photographers. So I won't say anything which could be used to identify any of my friends or info sources, and none of them post here or on any other Fuji-specific forum. They know I talk, but they also trust me to keep their identities completely safe and secret.
Q: Why should we believe you? A: Common sense dictates that you shouldn't. Like all rumours, it would be smart for you to take everything with a big pinch of salt. All I can say is that most people who follow the front page probably have a good idea of my track record with talking about design aspects of bodies, which are later confirmed by Patrick's own sources. But if you don't wish to believe me, that's fine. I wouldn't believe me, either. That's the nature of rumours and talking about products which haven't been officially released yet.
Q: Did you also see a 23mm f/2 lens? A: No.
Okay, obvious questions out the way, here's what I can elaborate on:
The photos Patrick's sources have been sharing with him are, undoubtably, legitimate. (As if there was any doubt at this point.) The unit I saw is identical to those. All the things which I've mentioned before in the front page comments and Patrick's had as more reliably-rumoured specs, are right there. All the obvious stuff: dual SD slots, function button instead of dedicated video button, 1/250th sync speed, etc. Again, as if there was any doubt left, I can confirm that everything which has been repeatedly reported on the front page is accurate. This is why I say there's nothing new to talk about. Patrick's coverage has been incredibly accurate.
In terms of feel, it does seem a tiny bit bigger and heavier than the X-T1, but having not held an X-T1 for over a year—I sold my pair to 'trade down' to a couple of X-T10s—I could simply be misremembering the X-T1's size and weight. I couldn't exactly whip out a measuring tape and a set of scales to weigh it. In any case, it's not a problem. Still a small body, still a light body. Balanced perfectly with the 23mm f/1.4 which was on it. No need to worry about the size increase. I only noticed it because I was specifically thinking about it.
The textured parts of the surface—the fake leather texture—feels a little less rubbery and has a more pronounced texture than I remember the X-T1 having. (Certainly much nicer than the T10 has.) The smooth metal areas feel the same, no change there.
The concentric control dials are much nicer than before. I'd been told months ago (and mentioned it on the front page) that the lock buttons had been revised, and it does seem that way. They sit very slightly higher than the dial than they did before and pressing them required a bit more force, with a more definite click as they locked/unlocked. Not so much of a change that it will slow you down, but I can now see how this will definitely be enough to stop any accidental turning of the top dials. The dials are very slightly taller, as you've all seen; they also had a slightly colder feel, which I can only assume means they're being cut from a denser metal than before. Each dial felt very slightly stiffer to turn than before, too; though this could just be because it's obviously a newer body, since those things tend to get looser with age.
Viewfinder is bigger than before. How much bigger, I couldn't say; I've no way of meauring it and my friend didn't know a specific figure, either. But he'd told me before that it felt bigger to him, and looking through it myself, it did seem bigger, to me. Again, though, it's been a while since I looked through an X-T1's viewfinder—even when I had the X-T1, I alway use the rear screen—so I could be misremembering, but the T2's is at least as big as the Sony α7II's, a camera I've used more recently and can compare more clearly.
Refresh rate seemed flawless. Way above what the T1, Pro2, or α7II give. Again, I've no way of counting a specific number. I know that thing came out recently about it being 100fps. I don't know how I'd count 100fps. All I can say is we were sat in the back of an average-dimly lit high street coffee shop, and I didn't notice any lag or stuttering or anything. By far the most faultless EVF I've seen. The only way I could tell it wasn't an OVF is because of the brightness and the applied colour profile. (Film simulation.) Otherwise it may as well be an OVF. Hell, it's better than an OVF. Much brighter, under those conditions. If Pro2 owners get to look through this, they're going to question why they spent so much money on having an optical viewfinder. Like I said, no way of giving you specific figures, but I can say that the T2's EVF is by far the best SLR-style viewfinder I've ever looked through.
Rear screen, other than the new hinging—yes, it hinges just like Patrick's photos show—seems the same as the Pro2's. It's fine; great, even. It's what I typically use 99.99% of the time. But yeah, nothing special to say here, 'cause Patrick's photos have already shown you all of the hinging. Yes, it tilts up, down, and left and right. Or up and down in landscape and up and down in portrait, if you prefer thinking of it that way. Didn't seem any weaker or tougher than the T1's style of tilting. It's fine, it works, don't worry about it.
Yes, it's got 4K. He doesn't shoot video at all, and I don't shoot video with SLR or mirrorless, so this isn't an area either of us care about. I just saw that 4K was mentioned in the menu, and he told me that Fuji had told him it has a 10-minute limit on 4K files. So, kinda the same situation as Nikon's in. (They have a 3-minute limit, right?) But yeah, it's not something either of us uses, so I don't know what else I could tell you about this. But it does it, there. Another thing to tick off on the back of the box for marketing. Other video options remain unchanged from the Pro2, as far as I could see/tell with my limited interest in mirrorless video.
Focus on a still subject—my coffee cup—under slightly-dim lighting seemed the same as the Pro2. Used the 23mm f/1.4. Same focus point arrangement as the Pro2. Same joystick for AF point control on the back a the Pro2 has. We already knew it had it, of course, but I've seen some people wish for it to be larger, have more positive movement, etc. It felt exactly the same, to me. So no change there.
Can't say anything on focus tracking. Didn't test it. Not many high-speed subjects in the back of a Starbucks.
Burst rate is faster than the Pro2's. Apparently, Fuji told him it could max out at 9fps. He told me he's experienced some slowdown for focusing, etc, which is normal for any camera. So he reckons 8.5fps is what you actually get. I gave it a quick go just pointing at the table, to see where the buffer would kick in. It didn't seem to last any longer than the Pro2's, but it did get 32 frames of uncompressed raw in the same time span. (About 3 seconds, felt like.) That's about 5 or 6 more than the Pro2 manages, and for the same stretch of time, that does work out to be around 9fps. So I expect Fuji are being honest when they told him 9fps is the max. A dark table in a dim room is a pretty easy and quick scene to capture, so pretty ideal for maxing out the FPS and buffer. Who knows if they'll try to market it as 9fps or 8.5, or even just 8, so people aren't disappointed when it comes to bursting more complex shots. In any case, it got more shots in the same time as the Pro2 does, so we've got a faster burst and a deeper buffer, but ultimately covering the same 3-and-a-bit seconds.
Like I said, just pointed at the table, so I can't speak for how well that keeps up when combined with continuous focus tracking.
I don't know about the boost mode with the grip. Didn't have it on the camera. If they split the burst so it's 8fps without grip, for consistency, and 11fps with the grip for speed, that'd make sense. Having the camera without the grip be capable of 9fps but only shoot at 8fps is a sensible thing to do for the sake of the shutter's lifespan, write speeds, being able to market a deeper buffer, etc. But right there this afternoon, with no grip, it shot above 8fps.
The only thing about the grip I can say is that, having seen the basic body in person, it definitely will be a new grip. There's no way the old grip would be compatible with this body. Different door shapes, different grip depth. Fuji did send the new grip to him with the body, but he's just not a grip user so he's not bothered with it. I am a grip user, so I asked more about it, but yeah, he doesn't use it so not much to say. It's new, it's got that boost mode, and the old grip won't work. Everything we already knew, basically.
As far as focusing, burst, and write speeds go, the camera was in the high performance mode. Didn't try putting it in power saving. I can only assume everything slows down in power saving, just like with every other Fuji camera.
Write speed for a single frame felt to be about the same speed as the Pro2, with an SDXC card in the UHS-II slot. This wasn't a technical test, no other cards to try in different slots.
Start up time seems the same as the Pro2 and wake up time felt a tiny bit faster than the Pro2. Couldn't time it, obviously. But it seemed a fraction quicker.
Battery he had in it was the same old NP-W126. I expressed some disappointment on this, because I'm always hoping for larger-capacity batteries. But I remain hopeful, because the battery is one of the things which most commonly changes between pre-production and final release models. I really hope this is changed and we get a bigger capacity for the release. But for what it's worth, this pre-production unit was using the NP-W126, just like the Pro2, Pro1, T1, T10, E2, E1...
Nothing new in terms of colour profiles (film simulations), .jpg settings, etc. All the same as the Pro2. No idea on raw handling because, of course, no software supports T2 raws, yet. But my friend said the .jpgs he's been shooting have been identical to the ones out of his Pro2, so yeah. Everything's the same there, as we all expect.
Micro USB port, unlabelled, but it looked to me like a micro B, and he told me Fuji said it's USB 3.0, though he's had no use for it. (Of course, no software right now supports the T2.) That should help for tethering, I suppose? Not that Fuji's tethering is worth a damn. In any case, hey, looks like a micro USB 3.0 port is on the cards. (Though wasn't the Pro2 meant to have micro USB 3.0, too? But that ended up having micro USB 2.0. So I won't be surprised if Fuji decides to be cheap and downgrades the T2 to USB 2.0. But hey, pre-production has 3.0.)
Mini HDMI port is still there. I'm guessing that it's a D-type, like the Pro2 has; he didn't know which particular version and I don't know enough about the different types of mini HDMI to identify it. It's unlabelled. In any case, hey, it's there, looks just like it is with the Pro2. Ditto for the audio ports.
Doors for battery/port/card access all have the same double action hinge and latch as the Pro2's battery door has. It's just less flimsy than the T1 had. Nothing about them suggested to me that it is any better weather-sealed, though. Feels very much like this is still a 'weather resistant' body and not a 'weather sealed' body.
All the stuff people have bizarrely asked for, even though it's obvious it would never have, were indeed not there: no IBIS, no pop-up flash, no CF cards, no APS-H or 35mm sensor, no bayer sensor.
So, there you have it. Everything I could glean from ~60 seconds with a pre-production X-T2 body. I don't think there's anything else to say, didn't get to give it a proper test or mount my own lenses or memory cards or shoot with it. I'll happily answer questions if I can, but I don't know what else I could say; if you're curious about something which I've not already written about, then chances are it's something I didn't look at or think to ask about. Obviously I'm asking about the camera as much as I can without being annoying, and I hope I'll be able to beg for a little more time with it at some point. But for now, that's about the extent of all I know and saw.
This might be interesting to you, it might be boring, I don't know. Just thought I may as well share 'cause I can.
As I started shooting street with a Canon 7D equiped with a 35mm f1,4 Sigma EX, size didnt matter for me...than I switched to Fuji X and started to shoot the equivalent 35mm f1.4 and loved it.
With the x-e1 body I was much more stealthy. Than I switched to the 27mm pencake to take the stealthyness to the next level and I loved it much more.
For me, the 23mm never was an option for street photography in terms of focal length and that was the only problem I had with the X100S, which is a great camera, but in my oppinion it´s too wide.
Agreed. I've second shot a couple weddings with the X-T1, and done some local shows, aside from a lot of shooting for myself which usually happens at night.
There's definitely a learning curve, but once you get a feel for it, I think Fujis are nearly as effective as DSLRs. It slows you down for sure, but I find I actually get more shots in focus with the X-T1 than the Canon 70D or Nikon D610 I used. With the DSLRs, I would shoot a lot to be safe, then zoom in in Lightroom and see which ones came out in focus (instead of slight misfocuses). This is shooting at f/2.2+ on crop and 2.8+ on full frame to buy myself some depth of field. Too many times the DSLRs would slightly misfocus, and I wouldn't find out until I got into Lightroom.
The X-T1 confirms focus more slowly, but it's accurate. And when it does a false confirm, which is rare, it's incredibly obvious so I don't waste shots on it. Now that I've slowed down, I work more on my timing and planning. And that's just talking about the AF. With MF and peaking, I think the Fuji has an advantage. Focus traps are amazing with the peaking. I'm not afraid to shoot lenses wide open now, either.

Currently the widest prime in the native lens lineup. It’s said to be very sharp, but now that the XF 16mm F1.4 R WR is out, which is not much more expensive, two stops faster and weather resistant, it should be considered if the extra 2mm wide angle are really needed. The manual focus ring can be pulled back to engage manual focus mode, and reveals depth of field and distance scales. (Reviews at Fuji vs. Fuji, Fuji X-Files)
XF 16mm F1.4 R WR product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,15 m - Magnification: 1:4.76 - Aperture Blades: 9 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 67 mm - Diameter: 73,4 mm - Length: 73 mm - Weight: 375 g - Price (approx.): €1000/$850
Close-to-perfect wide angle lens, relatively high magnification due to short close focus distance, even weather resistant. Has the same manual focus mechanism as the XF 14mm F2.8 R. Only optical downside seems to be coma in the corners when wide open (bad for astrophotography). Quite big and expensive. (Reviews at Fstoppers, the digital trekker, Admiring Light)
XF 18mm F2.0 R product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,18 m - Magnification: 1:7 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 52 mm - Diameter: 64,5 mm - Length: 40,6 mm - Weight: 116 g - Price (approx.): €410/$450
One of the original three prime lenses from the beginning of the X-System. Very small and light. The varying rating of the optical quality throughout many reviews suggests copy-to-copy variation. The autofocus motor used in this lens is slightly noisy compared to the virtually silent linear motors of most other Fujinon lenses.

Close Focus Distance: 1 m - Magnification: 1:41 - Aperture Blades: none (fixed) - Filter Thread: none - Diameter: 60 mm - Length: 21 mm - Weight: 32 g - Price (approx.): €/$85
Fixed aperture, fixed focus body cap filter lens (soft filter & cross filter). Sharp from approximately 1 m to infinity. So far only available in Japan. (Reviews at ReViewed, DSLR Magazine (translation by Google), Infos at PetaPixel, Video from CP+ 2015 at News STC (youtube))
XF 27mm F2.8 product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,34 m - Magnification: 1:10 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 39 mm - Diameter: 61,2 mm - Length: 23 mm - Weight: 78 g - Price (approx.): €350/$250
The smallest and lightest X-Mount lens, apart from the bodycap filter lens. Optically not perfect, but still quite good when stopped down (most say from f/4 downwards). Has no aperture ring. Has a slightly noisy autofocus motor, in contrast to the virtually silent linear motors used in most other lenses. (Reviews at Tom Grill, Stephen Ip, photozone , LensTip)
XF 35mm F2.0 R WR product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,35 m - Magnification: 1:7.4 - Aperture Blades: 9 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 43 mm - Diameter: 60 mm - Length: 46 mm - Weight: 170 g - Price (approx.): €400/$400
Weather resistant normal prime lens. Designed for rangefinder cameras. It's short and gets narrower to the front, so it does not stick into the viewfinder frame. (Reviews at IvanJoshuaLoh, lenstip and FujiRumors (by Rico Pfirstinger) )
XF 35mm F1.4 R product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,28 m - Magnification: 1:5.88 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 52 mm - Diameter: 65 mm - Length: 54,9 mm - Weight: 187 g - Price (approx.): €590/$400
One of the original three prime lenses from the beginning of the X-System. Very sharp in the center, mediocre corner sharpness wide open gets a lot better when stopped down from F/1.4 through F/8. Anyway, a good normal prime lens for the X-System. Only downside seemed to be the slow-ish autofocus, but that was addressed with a firmware upgrade.Has a slightly noisy autofocus motor, in contrast to the virtually silent linear motors used in most other lenses.

The 85mm fullframe equivalent portrait prime in the lens lineup. As tested by Admiring Light, quite close to perfect. (Reviews at Admiring Light, Nathan Elson, Olaf Photoblog, Jonas Jacobsson)
XF 56mm F1.2 R APD product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,7 m - Magnification: 1:11.11 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 62 mm - Diameter: 73 mm - Length: 70 mm - Weight: 405 g - Price (approx.): €1300/$1200
Same as above, but with built in apodization filter (radial, gradual neutral density filter that gets darker towards the corners) to smoothen out the bokeh at the expense of lens brightness. Instead of f/1.2, the maximum light transmissivity is equivalent to t/1.7. This effect is neutralized at f/5.6. A very unique portrait prime, but it does not support phase detection autofocus. (Comparison between APD and non-APD version at Fuji vs. Fuji)
XF 60mm F2.4 R Makro product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,27 m - Magnification: 1:2 - Aperture Blades: 9 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 39 mm - Diameter: 64,1 mm - Length: 70,9 mm - Weight: 215 g - Price (approx.): €600/$450
One of the original three prime lenses from the beginning of the X-System, and the first macro lens, although the maximum magnification is only 1:2. It is very sharp, but has really slow autofocus. Works well for portraits and stationary subjects like product photography or flowers. When approaching living subjects like bugs, the focal length, and thus the close focus distance, might be too short. Has a slightly noisy autofocus motor, like the XF 27mm F2.8 and the XF 35mm F1.4 R. (Reviews at ishootshows, daisuki photo, The Phoblographer)
XF 80mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro product page

The first native 1:1 macro lens for the X-system. This is an impressively sharp lens with a very well working optical stabilizer. The AF is quick, even in the macro range, and does not hunt much.
XF 90mm F2.0 R LM WR product page

The cheapest zoom lens for the X-Mount, intended as a standard zoom kit lens for the cheaper entry level bodies. No aperture ring, no switch for OIS. Quite small and light. Compared to the XF 18-55mm F/2.8-4.0 R LM OIS, it sacrifices about one stop of light through the whole focal length range, as well as 5mm of focal length at the long end, but gains important 2mm of wide angle.

This cheap telephoto zoom lens is a bit smaller and quite a bit lighter than the XF 55-200mm F/3.5-4.8 R LM OIS and has no aperture ring. But depending on the intended use, the slower aperture range needs to be taken into consideration.

Fuji's take on a weather resistant always-on travelzoom. Optically, it seems to be good for what it is, but the aperture range does not impress, which is of course a compromise for smaller size and lower weight. (Reviews at Dan Bailey, Admiring Light, The Phoblographer)

Is said to be the standard zoom "kit" lens for the X-Mount. My experience says, it's much better than the usual APS-C kit lens. Rather comparable to the f/4 L kit lenses canon sells with its full frame cameras. The aperture range is good, the size and weight is perfect, optical image stabilization works very well, and the lens is sharp. Really nothig to complain, especially since it comes at about 350-400€ when bought as a kit. (Reviews at Mark Schueler, photomadd, la RO QUE)

Close Focus Distance: 1,1 m - Magnification: 1:5.56 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 62 mm - Diameter: 75 mm - Length: 118 mm - Weight: 580 g - Price (approx.): €670/$550
This lens does not have the reach of the cheaper XC 50-230mm F/4.5-6.7 OIS, but with an aperture range from 3.5 to 4.8 it is a lot brighter, and therefore much more usable for the common telephoto applications (a.k.a. wildlife). Very compact when collapsed, and doubles as acceptable macro lens when combined with a +3 diopters achromat. This lens is very sharp wide open, even at the long end. (Reviews at Admiring Light, prophotonut (NSFW), Steeve Marcoux)
XF 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR product page
Close Focus Distance:1,75m - Magnification: 1:5.26 - Aperture Blades: 9 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 77 mm - Diameter: 95 mm - Length: 210 mm - Weight: 1375 g - Price (approx.): €1800/$1800
An outstanding long telephoto zoom lens, offering 5 stops of optical image stabilization. It is sharper when focused close, but the sharpness at infinity focus can be regained when closing the aperture down to f/8. This lens is compatible with the 1.4x and 2x teleconverter. With the 2x teleconverter attached, all current camera models lose phase detection autofocus and have to use contrast detection autofocus.

The widest lens in the Fujinon X-Mount lineup. Nothing bad to say about this one, too. (Reviews at Leigh Miller, Alik Griffin, photography life, photomadd)
XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR product page

The pro-oriented standard zoom lens. Very good build and image quality, but also very big, heavy and expensive compared to the XF 18-55mm F/2.8-4.0 R LM OIS. The 2mm shorter focal length at the wide end, as well as the fixed aperture and the weather sealing might be the decisive factors for buying this lens instead of the XF 18-55mm F/2.8-4.0 R LM OIS, which in turn has optical image stabilization. (Reviews at photography life, Jonas Jacobsson; Comparison with the XF 18-55mm F/2.8-4.0 R LM OIS at Admiring Light)

The pro-oriented medium telezoom lens. The image quality of this lens is beyond question, but it's the biggest, heaviest and also most expensive lens apart from the new 100-400. It is compatible with the 1.4x and 2x teleconverters. Cameras retain phase detection autofocus with this lens and the 2x teleconverter attached. (Reviews at Dan Bailey, Jonas Rask)

A lot more expensive than its direct competitor, the Samyang 12mm 2.0, which is even one full stop faster. The Samyang does not have autofocus, but at those short focal lengths, the depth of field is very large anyway, and Fujifilm cameras have focus peaking to aid manual focussing.

The first macro lens for the X-Mount with a magnification of 1:1. When approaching living subjects like bugs, the focal length, and thus the close focus distance, might be too short. (Reviews at The Phoblographer, Tom Grill, Photo Madd, Passports & Lenses)

The fastest lens for the Fuji X-Mount, as well as the fastest CSC-Lens overall. Very long close focus distance, big, heavy, extremely expensive. A lot of purple fringing, and not extremely sharp. In short, not worth the money, but definitely something special. (Reviews at FujiRumors part 1 part 2, Admiring Light, Steve Huff, Matt Granger (youtube))

It's a long telephoto, but it's also a reflex design. And the (fixed) aperture is a bit slow. Pictures don't look sharp and show a lot of CA. It has very special ring-shaped out of focus highlights which are inherent to the design of reflex lenses.

The lenses' maximum aperture plottet over their focal length and the resulting diagonal angle of view. The scale is double logarithmic.
Please note that the denoted angle of view is only valid for rectilinear lenses, fisheye lenses have a wider angle of view at the same focal length, which is inherent to their design.

Mmmm - don;t know - but it IS right for me, and for the following reasons:
Despite my big hands (I've had a post about camera bodies for big hands), it fights my hands like a glove.
Despie this, I can actually put it in the pocket of my jeans - seriously, just so compactly designed! It goes every where with me.
I love the 1/32000th top shutter speed on a really bright - saves you carrying a bunchof ND filters!
Love the aperture ring - it makes this (along with nearly all other X cameras) a true manual users camera (no program modes for this user - just ISO, aperture and shutter in varying combinations)
So customisable - once configured for how you like to work - almost becomes a case of taking camera out of your pocket, pointing and shooting!
W/A lens and the panoramic feature make it great for recording a variety of landscapes and cityscapes.
Lens still great for portraits and street photography - see Damien Lovegrove for excellent examples
Nothing else to take with you except for battery charger and spare memory cards - and some wheere to store all the images until return
Like all other Fuji X cameras, it challenges you to think through your images before you press the shutter - no spray and pray with these cameras.
Oh - and AMAZING IQ! Thought that might be important...
And finally - it makes photography fun again :-)
Almost two years after starting my reviews of Nikon F to Fuji X lens adapters, I just added an update on the Metabones Speed Booster Ultra and improved aperture control ring.
Mmmhh ok, so, considering remaining on X-T1 or X-T10 for other interchangeable lenses, the choice practically is between 18mm and 27mm... Do you think 27 is maybe too narrow? The smaller aperture, however shouldn't be a problem in street photography, I've seen the majority of pictures are taken in the f/5.6-11 range..
For anyone still interested, I found this excellent article by Eric Kim that analyzes the pros and cons of exactly these two configurations: http://erickimphotography.com/blog/2014/03/18/real-world-review-of-the-fujfilm-x-t1-for-street-photography/
Ok, thanks for your opinions guys, I considered them and made some tests with my soon-to-be-replaced Nikon APS-C with a zoom set on 27mm and it seems good for capturing candid and posed street portraits, so I think I will surely go for that pancake!
I'm not a pro - came close ot having a go at being a pro, but relaised I didn't really have the hard nose needed to be a businessman.
So that leaves me as an amateur.
For nearly all of my life I've enjoyed shooting with Canon kit. Nothing has really captured the excitement I got from shooting with my Canon A1's in film days.
Well, nothing until I gave the X-Pro 1 a try. Now I have an X-100T I find it even more fun to play with.
I think for me, the simple truth is that 'less is more':
Less choices of body and lens combination to work with
Less of "what kit do I pack inot a rucksack big enough to use for a weeks holiday when just going out on a shoot for a day?"
Less stress on my body trying to support this mini weight lifters mobile exercise companion each time I want to take a picture
Less looks from people when I get my camera out of my pocket to take a picture
Less complaints about rights and less questions about my intentions regarding my intentions with 'the picture I'm taking'
Less pictures that have to be deleted in Post Processing because I just sprayed and prayed
Less pictures lost through the flawed A/F that Canon put on the 5D2.
Yep, less thinking about all the technical aspects of photography and more fun creating and cpaturing the shots!
When people ask why I love my XT1 so much, my answer is always "I enjoy using it." As a hobbyist photographer, getting a perfect image isn't the most important thing to me. I want a camera that I enjoy using so much that every time I leave the apartment I think to myself: "I want to bring my camera with me." The XT1 fits that bill perfectly. Love the quick access/lack of menus that the dials provide, and it's relatively small size, which all-in-all make me use the camera.
there are really many, mostly inexpensive, of those holsters on the market, in all sorts of materials and colors, from conspicuous to relatively inconspicuous.
Personally, even if you are going around with the sole body and zoom, there are very good things to be said about small bags ( I prefer real leather for example ).
You may have an holster ( many types really) with a belt on the hip and inside a camera with only a wrist strap. I don’t generally like wrist straps to carry cameras all the time but in this configuration I can understand its use and comfort.
I also don’t like to carry an unprotected camera around as some folks do with their across the chest slings or spider holsters.
If I were to carry a camera like that I would prefer something closed and then a wrist strap inside or one of those straps which go as a sort of glove around your hand.
To clear it up, with X-T10 you can do everything you can with the X-E2 AND you can also use the EV dial in full Manual mode which you cannot (in the current firmware) do with the X-E2. The X-E2 is supposed to be getting a new firmware and one would hope this feature would be included, there are no gurantees, so if this is important to you then go X-T10 or T1 which you can also do this with if you don't want to use the dedicated ISo guide.
Bottom line is that with most cameras there are many ways to skin a cat, or configure them. With imagination you can usually mold the camera to your desires.
With something like the X-T1 there are just even more options to get you where you need to go, but not eveyrone needs them all or can justify the cost of that amount of flexibility.
ONe not you mention ergonomics etc, be aware the X-T10 is smaller than the X-T1 and its also less wide than the X-E2, which means if you have big hands you will almost certainly need the additional grip on that camara
The 18-135 is lens of compromise, you lose a bit of light/speed and some sharpness to have something that will almost be able to bring you back a picture of whatever you point it at.
The 5 stops OIS is also really nice, I can often shot at 1/20 even fully extended at 135mm handheld and not have a speckle of camera shake.
the XF23 has a much better image quality than the XF27, or at least i notice such a difference. the XF23 (35mm equivalent) is my all-time favourite field of view for everything especially the streets. anything past the 35mm fov is too tight for me. i'm not fond of the 50mm/standard fov for streets/docu. i prefer capturing more of the entire scene especially when i tend to be up closer to people where a wider angle helps. and i can always crop if i need to. though i love the image quality of the XF23, the size is all wrong. and though i love the size of teh XF27, the fov is too tight for my tastes and is kind awkward for me - it's like.. either be wider or be a 50mm/standard already. so, i'd have to choose the XF18. it's pancake enough even with an aperture ring, though i'd prefer it were a dof scale.
something i wish Fuji would do is bring us a street photography line of lenses that are small (dof scale, please) even if it means being a bit slower.
To close up and summarize this post, I also find this really interesting piece about X-T1 + 27mm for street photography: http://macfilos.com/photo/2014/10/21/fuji-x-t1-is-it-a-better-street-camera-than-the-x100t
The α7s isn't actually any better at high ISO than any of the other Sony α7 cameras. It looks better at a pixel level because it has a lower resolution, but if you take those higher-resolution Sony cameras and simply scale their files down to the same 12mp file the α7s makes, you get the same results. Video is slightly different because it's not captured then scaled in quite the same way, so the α7s does produce slightly nicer results then. Tony Northrup reaffirmed all this seven months ago, when he was making those videos.
Of course, now there's the α7rII...
In any case, Fuji's sensors are already manufactured by Sony. (As are Nikon's.) The only practical difference between the sensors Sony makes for Fuji and the sensors used by Sony themselves (and Nikon) is the Fuji sensors are APS-C and Sony uses 35mm. If you take a Sony α7r or Nikon D800 and crop in, you get the same image as you'd get from an uncropped Fuji; their 36mp 35mm sensors and the Fuji 16mp APS-C sensor have virtually the same pixel pitch. With Fuji, you're already getting the same high-ISO performance as you get on those Sony cameras. The only difference is the Sonys give you a larger frame, so you have more to work with; at ISO 6400 and above, a 36mp photo scaled down to 10mp is going to look cleaner than a 16mp photo scaled in the same way. This is how the higher-resolution α7 cameras actually match the α7s in low-light performance, once you take the final image size into account.
Once people learn to think about how the final image looks and not how the captured image looks, you'll find there is much less excitement about every new sensor.
I've read a variety of posts from users who seem impatient for the next thing. That is easy to get caught up in, but for me Fuji can take as much time as is required. Their current offerings are extraordinary cameras capable of taking world class images under just about any circumstance.
Myself, as mentioned in previous posts, would prefer to stay at 16MP. I just have no need of more. I would rather have more dynamic range and low light performance instead of more pixels. I also prefer the smaller file sizes, lower power use and faster performance of less. I understand the more more more craze... but do not share it.
I know this thread is about the X-Pro2 but it seems applicable to an X-T2 as well... Whenever an X-T2 is announced, and I assume it is inevitable that it is 24MP, I will likely stick with my current X-T1's for the foreseeable future because of that (unless there is some advance in another area that is too compelling). I might even stash a couple unused so I can stick at the 16MP's.
If I were shooting with the X-Pro1 and looking forward to the X-Pro2, I would be disappointed to even hear the possibility of 30MP's. 24MP is already a 50% increase!!??!!
If cameras were cars, every new model would have a bigger engine and nobody thinks maybe some people would prefer better gas mileage.
Nice! I will partecipate in the next Eric Kim Workshop in Amsterdam on July 10-12, maybe I could ask him about that!
I always purchased from eGlobalCentral, which really has the lowest prices, but unfortunately they do not have the 27mm...

Yesterday, on DPReview a "first impression" article on the X-T10 with 27mm compared to the X100T has appeared: http://www.dpreview.com/previews/fujifilm-x-t10/7
They also evaluated carrying around both camera for street photography and in the end they find them pretty similar in performance, price and weight, with the X-T10 (like the X-T1) having the advantage of interchangeable lenses for building a more complete system. They consider the X-E2, too, but until the firmware is not upgraded, it is considered inferior.
